To hear prosecutors tell it, Darrien Hunt lunged at officers with a "samurai-type sword" before he was killed.
Yes the police testilied that they feared for their safety and that Darrien Hunt was an immediate threat necessitating lethal force.
But again the video below tells a different story.
A story many of the poor are familiar with. It is called
The Day the Police Came to Hunt a N-.
And it played out just like it always does
Video scene one:
Guy minding his own business. Followed by cop calmly approaching.
Still shot we are all familiar with:
Darrien calmly talking to police
Video Scene two:
Man running for his life across parking lot being chased by two officers, one of which is clearly firing a pistol as he is running.
