COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Officers conducting a routine pat-down of a man in a hospital emergency room found a gun in his waistband, spurring a struggle over the weapon and a standoff that ended in officers killing him, according to police body camera footage released Wednesday.
Officers had been searching Miles Jackson, a Black man, at the hospital Monday in preparation for a custody exchange over warrants he had out for his arrest. Jackson began to struggle with the two officers after one of them felt the gun, video showed.
And then there's this further down the article:
The races of all the officers have not been confirmed, although several appeared to be white. A message was left with police requesting that information.
What difference does it make if the cops were white, black or green? What difference does it make if the suspect is black, white or green? Seriously - the guy had warrants, he had a gun, and he was resisting arrest.
