A MAN IN
SOUTH HAVEN MISSISSIPPI WAS FATALLY SHOT AND KILLED AFTER
POLICE MISTOOK HIS HOUSE FOR THE HOUSE OF A SUSPECT.
THE MAN HAD
NO
ACTIVE WARRANTS.
THE
LAWYER GOES ON TO SAY THIS.
CENK, I
WANT TO TOSS IT TO
YOU BECAUSE YOU SAID YOUR TAKE ON THIS WAS
LESS ABOUT THE POLICE SHOT THE WRONG GUY.
I THINK THE NARRATIVE
HAS GOTTEN MUDDLED.
>> REALLY QUICK THOUGH, WHY IS THERE A GUNSHOT OR BULLET HOLE
THROUGH THE DOOR?
THAT IS JUST VERY STRANGE TO ME.
YOU ARE
SAYING YOU COULD SEE THROUGH THE DOOR AND HE WAS HOLDING A
GUN AND REFUSE TO PUT IT DOWN, THEN YOU SHOT HIM?
IT WAS JUST WEIRD.
>> THIS SEEMS LIKE A CLASSIC CASE OF SHOOTING TOO EARLY WHICH
IS NOW THE MILLIONTH STORY IN A ROW WE HAVE DONE ABOUT THIS
TOPIC.
YOU MIGHT HAVE SHOT TOO EARLY IF YOU DIDN'T ASK WHO HE
IS.
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN IN 18 DIFFERENT WAYS.
YOU'RE GOING TO
A HOUSE IN MISSISSIPPI IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, EVERY
WITNESS SAYS THE FIRST THING THEY HEAR IS
THE SHOTS ñ NONE OF
THEIR STORIES CORROBORATE.
BUT EVEN IF IT WAS TRUE YOU ARE
SURPRISED THE GUY COMES OUT WITH A GUN?
IT WAS A DOMESTIC ASSAULT
FROM BEFORE, IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
AND
YOU THINK MAYBE A HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, THE GUY
MIGHT HAVE A GUN, LET'S PLAN ON HOW WE WILL HANDLE IT.
IF YOU
ARE A REPUBLICAN HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE GUNS?
IF THEY WAKE YOU UP
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO IT IS, WHAT
WOULD
YOU DO?
HE WOULD PROBABLY COME OUT WITH YOUR GUN, RIGHT?
YOU ARE GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO
ASK QUESTIONS.
HE WILL GIVE YOU AT BEST A COUPLE OF SECONDS
BEFORE YOU ARE DEAD.
THAT IS THEIR BEST CASE SCENARIO.
BUT IN
REALITY THE EVIDENCE SAYS THE GUN IS NOT NEAR THE BODY.
DID
YOU GO PACK THE GUN AFTER HE WAS DEAD?
WHY IS THERE A BULLET IN
THE DOOR?
WHY ARE NO WITNESSES CORROBORATING YOUR STORY?
SO
EVEN IF THEY SHOT THE RIGHT GUY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIDEOUS.
OF
COURSE THE GUY SAYS HE DIDN'T DO IT, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOU
ARREST SOMEONE FOR DOMESTIC ASSAULT, YOU DON'T EXECUTE THEM
FOR DOMESTIC ASSAULT.
AND YOU DON'T EXECUTE SOMEONE WITHIN TWO
SECONDS.
>> THIS COULD'VE HAPPENED TO ANYONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY
DIDN'T TAKE ANY EXTRA TIME TO VERIFY THE ADDRESS.
OBVIOUSLY
THAT MAN IN THIS SCENARIO WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY BECAUSE HE IS
ALIVE TODAY.
HE WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN DEAD IF
THEY HAD GONE TO THE RIGHT HOUSE.
IN THIS CASE IT IS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
PUT YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION.
I
WOULD PANIC IF IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND I HEAR THE
COMMOTION AT MY FRONT DOOR.
THE WAY THEY HANDLED IT WAS TERRIBLE.
>>LAST THING, IF YOU HAD NO SYMPATHY FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS
WHO KEEP GETTING SHOT WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE WEAPONS ON THEM ñ NOW
CONGRATULATIONS WE HAVE MADE THE COPS SO JITTERY, OR TRAINING OF
THEM IS SO MISERABLE, AND THERE IS NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES, NOW
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS.
WE HAVE THE YOGA
INSTRUCTOR SHOT DEAD IN MINNESOTA, AND NOW THEY DON'T
KNOW THE GUYS RACE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN OPEN THE DOOR.
SO JUST KILL THEM BEFORE
YOU EVEN SEE THEM.
HOW DO THEY KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD, HONORABLE, RIGHT WING
REPUBLICAN?
THEY DON'T.
THEY WILL COME FOR YOU AS WELL.
