#1 ...BOTTOM LINE: Mr. Vereen chose...poorly. Had he just even little-c cooperated, he'd be alive and protesting his innocence. Instead, he is Oz and Blackadder Dead and his family is left protesting what a kind, decent person he was.

#2 Guilt or innocence are of no consequence. The Geo Floyd response produces media coverage, statuary, and dividends.

OPEN WIDER LOOK AT THIS SO CALLED "Innocent Baby".

Given his violent history Biting, Use Firearm use during criminal activities, Illegal drug use (eg. Weed laced with PCP), shooting neighborhood animals, and attacks on others. PLUS this "Bath Salts" like attack on a police officer.

ALSO when stop for traffic issues, he declared: “I’m not going back to jail”
The guy clearly drew a line in the sand.

Then forcefully resisted arrest.
When tasering fail to subdue him, he fought with the police officer.
He took the taser from the officer and tasered the LEO at least 5 times.
Now armed and still fighting with police. He went for the Officers neck like a Zombie.

This ain't a Black/LEO issues. This was a clearly crazy dangerous person willing to do anything to avoid capture.

Hell given everything I'd shot him sooner.

A FEW CRIMINAL HISTORY EXAMPLES

#4 Given the current legal climate not to mention his own criminal history juxtaposed against his freedom this absolutely isn't a black/police issue. It's an issue of somebody too stupid to survive, an idiot given a couple of dozen 2nd chances who when confronted with yet another was 'jes doin' what he had to do'.

#5 Assuming you could get a grant, it would make a good dissertation to study whether the propensity of blacks to panic in police situations is innate or learned behavior. And yes, it's a rayciss proposition either way.

#7 perhaps Hispanics have fewer outstanding warrants and Asians even less?
