Obviously you can’t claim a fear for your life if you chase someone down who is running away.

Now once a fight for control of the shotgun starts then one could claim they are in fear for their life and make an argument for lethal force.

There are better ways to handle this if you suspect a robbery is taking place like call the police and just follow the guy and don’t engage.

What are you supposed to do when some a-hole pulls a gun on you. If you try to stop them from doing it, it's "stand your ground" because the initial assault/false imprisonment from the act of pulling the gun somehow doesn't count.
Stop and talk to them? Why the hell should you have to do that? How do you know they aren't trying to rob you?

Their truck was parked in the middle of the road with a guy in the bed holding a handgun.

They didn’t just stumble upon him.

I’m willing to bet the guy filming was following the guy from the robbery site and the two in the truck were waiting to apprehend him.

Problem is, they aren’t fricking cops. At least the aren’t on duty and they aren’t able to arrest someone running down the street.

Is there any reference as to who taped the shooting and why that person was following and taping the deceased and the 2 men in the truck?

He was following the guy probably from the scene of the crime and called the two in the truck to help apprehend him.

* this is speculation but it’s the only reason I can see why this guy would be filming and driving on the wrong side of the road. He was obviously already flustered about something

if anyone has an argument for a fear for life it’s the dude who got shot.

From what I’ve read about it sounds like these guys are fricked IMO


Just from watching the video, they should be.

How is this different? Boils down to a black kid (mistaken identity) chased by white men playing billy badass cop, black kid fights back and there’s a struggle over the gun. It goes off and kid ends up dead.

I can tell most didn’t read the whole NYT article.

Even if this guy was the burglar and even of they saw him in their house, you can not chase someone down and shoot them.


The killers were the aggressors here by the simple act of chasing him down and for that they will all be locked up

That video looks bad. It looks like the guy just tries to jog around the passenger's side of their truck and the guy pulls the shotgun. He responds to the shotgun being pulled and gets shot in the confrontation.

The guy jogging appears to avoid confronting them until the shotgun is pointed at him.

The article says 2 shots, but it seems like you hear 3.

From what I have read they had followed him for a while and he went a different direction or something and got away from them. Whoever was filming probably saw them chasing after him and started filming.

We obviously don't know the whole story. But regardless, these guys are just plain stupid. Again, I have no idea what all happened, but with this video and all, to me, just comes across as itching for a reason to shoot. Now that Talcum X is on the case, these baws are doomed.

its possible that the person filming was the 2nd 911 caller who called to simply report "a black man is running down the street"

That video doesn't make it clear at all that this kid tried to fight them before the first shot, you can't even see what's going on in the first shot.

One of the shooters was a former police investigator.

Seems as if he would know better than doing something like that
