At about 2:11 of the video, Scott flees from the officer. Seems like the officer did chase after Scott. Keep in mind the officer’s decision to use lethal force on Scott is still the main issue.
Remember a day and age, where if you fucked up, you just had to hold that shit forever. I heard gofundme told that shit to kick rocks, so i’m not sure who allowed the campaign. Dont care either really.
Uh, because there are enough people in the world who are shitty and would gladly donate to this cop simply because he is a cop, theyre stupid, hes white, he use to be a coast guard, etc… Zimmerman racked up a shit ton of money before his case even went to trial, and was supported by the KKK in the funding campaign because they initially thought he was fucking white.
So uh yeah. This is planet earth, and more specifically this is america.
Just last week a pizzeria in bumfuck indiana raised almost a million dollars in a fund campaign when they chose to shut down their business due to alleged threats after refusing to cater to gay weddings with their pizzas.
Bigotry, hate, ignorance, stupidity, these are all things that are rewarded in this country, and on this planet. You know that mane.
Guy steals horse, deputies chase him. Man falls off horse. Deputies appear to use taser, the they kick and beat the guy. It took 9-10 officers to “detain” the guy. One officer was so tired of kicking and punching the man that was already down after being tased that he had to step back and sit down to catch his breath lol.
I wouldn’t be surprised if stuff like that (theft of horse as a capital crime that can result in death as punishment) happens in Texas. It may be a felony in other states because the value of the horse can be over $10k.
Sgt. Dave Walker told the Tulsa World that police “would not investigate the death unless the sheriff’s office asked them to, and they have not asked us to.”
