Please watch as Colombus, Ohio, police officer Joshua Ohlinger summarily unloaded six shots at a fleeing Michael Cleveland. In this scenario, the police alleged that Michael Cleveland had a gun. We weren’t there, so even though we know that police officers can no longer be trusted to speak the truth and are not even required as a consequence of the carte blanch that the Supreme Court has given them to lie, even to children, we will accept that he did have a gun.
Here I attempted to dissect the video with a clear analysis of the law and the way police are supposed to operate. Now the police will draw out this supposed investigation and, in the end, may very well tell the public and the family of Michael Cleveland that the attempted murder of their loved one was justifiable under the law.
It wasn’t!
It is extremely difficult for them to prosecute anyone who has any weapon, let alone a gun because they have already given police permission to kill anyone with a weapon. Even people they believe may have a weapon.
More importantly, Michael Cleveland is black, so police are not required to respect him or his right to live.
Separate but equal is still practiced in the United States, as the black cops who killed Tyre Nichols were immediately fired and charged criminally. In contrast, this white attempted murderer has not even been fired.
