| 2020-08-13 |
| [WAPO via New York Post] The 51-year-old man whose shooting by the Secret Service disrupted President Trump’s press conference is a 6-foot-3 former licensed boxer who was previously charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, according to a report. Myron Berryman has been charged with assaulting a law enforcement officer after allegedly approaching a Secret Service agent Monday evening while claiming to have a weapon. The officer shot Berryman in the torso when he "crouched into a shooter’s stance as if about to fire a weapon," officials said. I'm going with "Suicide by cop" attempt Berryman, who has lived in Dayton, Ohio, Forrestville, Maryland, and, more recently, Wheeling, West Virginia, was charged in 2012 with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct in Prince George’s County, the Washington Post reported. |

| #4 I'm going with "Suicide by cop" attempt Sounds like it. There don't seem to be any photos of Mr. Berryman in any of the news stories. Should we assume he is black or a BIPI-POC or whatever the preferred category is nowadays? Expect much hay to be made from the "fact" that the police callously shot an unarmed man. |
