“Jabari Peoples was an 18-year-old college student with big dreams”. And a gun.
BLM ain’t what it used to be. There was a time it could terrorize entire cities over completely justified police arrests and shootings. But without the institutional backing of the Left or of the White House, the movement is a shell of what it’s been, and the latest George Floyd was rapidly exposed before the rallies could even do much to get off the ground.
Here’s BLM’s best ambulance chaser, Ben Crump. “Jabari Peoples was an 18-year-old college student with big dreams who was planning his future. But police shot and killed him in Homewood, AL. His family wants answers.”
They got answers.
Carr said the footage showed an officer with the Homewood Police Department attempting to detain Peoples after marijuana was found in Peoples’ vehicle.
When Peoples was asked to exit the vehicle, along with a passenger in the car, Carr said the officer noticed a gun on the driver’s side of the vehicle between the seat and the door frame.
When the officer attempted to handcuff Peoples, Carr said the footage showed a tussle began between the two.
Peoples escaped and ran back to his vehicle where he reached inside and grabbed the gun from the driver’s side.
Carr said at the time of the shooting, Peoples had the gun in his right hand and the officer fired one shot, which struck Peoples in the left side of his back causing the injury that led to his death.
Big dreams. And apparently drugs. And a gun.
Sic transit gloria BLM.
