We have video of the guy chasing the residence, and then fleeing when confronted by a neighbor.  Just because they mentioned his race in a physical description doesnt mean that they went out to fulfill their caverns quota of dead black boys.  

Morally, I wouldn't pursue someone with lethal force for a property crime.  That's me.  Personally I wouldn't write a law empowering citizens to pursue and arrest a citizen once they left the scene of a crime.  

Those personal preferences have zero bearing on the fact that if Mcmichaels believed Ahmad committed a felony then he has the legal authority to arrest him.  Arrest by definition is against someone's will.  This case hinges on whether they had reasonable immediate knowledge of a felony and if saying "we want to talk to you" fails the citizens arrest standard.  That's it!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you and TJ both black Americans?
