They flat out said "we saw a guy 'hauling [BLEEP]' down the street and thought he looked like a burglar they had heard about so we chased him." They had no cause to chase him other than 1. he was running, and 2. he was black like the reported burglar was. They didn't see him do anything. No one told them he did anything. There was nothing that said they should pursue him at that moment, and absolutely nothing that told them they needed or had the right to detain him. The very act of attempting to detain him was a crime itself and there was nothing about what they did that was right, moral, ethical, or ok. They should've called the cops and left it with them, but Noooooooo, big hoss and little hoss gonna ride out and handle this business. And now the guy is dead and people are doing their damnedest to make it his fault when the only fault lies with the trigger happy yokels who should've been in jail months ago and their buddy the DA.

The father was outside and the house is right next to theirs. They also heard the neighbor yelling at him because he was in the house. It is reasonable to think they saw him running from the house when the neighbor yelled.

Stop bringing your hate towards rednecks into it, you are invalidating anything you say because you don't care about the facts. You only care that a black person was killed by some racist white rednecks.
