What Happens When Police Confront Belligerant People Who Aren't Black [View all]

Arizona investigators have released dashcam footage of a recent brawl between Christian street performers and the police that left one person dead.

The encounter, which took place in the parking lot of a Walmart last month, involved Cottonwood police asking the Gaver family about an alleged assault of a Walmart employee. There were four cops and roughly eight members of the family present.

Needless to say, things escalated, and a fight broke out. One of the officers was hit by a bullet and another was put in a headlock. David Gaver was shot in the stomach and 21-year-old Enoch Gaver was killed.

According to the police chief, Enoch Gaver had taken an officer’s gun and shot him, and another officer tried to hit him with a baton, but when that didn’t stop him, he just shot Gaver with his gun.



White guy actually SHOOTS cop. Other cop's first response? Use baton.

If those "Christians" had been black, they'd all be dead, the incident having lasted 20 seconds.
