[Carson said: “It’s hard to say. I probably, knowing who he was, I probably just would have arrested him.”]
He knew who he was? That’s incredible.
If he had gotten out of the street and not gone for the cop’s gun, it probably would have turned out differently. But he assumed, incorrectly, that DW knew he (MB) had just pulled a robbery and committed assault and battery.
Some time back Quanelle X (our Houston, Texas version of Sharpton) went through some staged situations with local police. Couple of times he realized that his inability to make a split second decision would have resulted in his death. Said words to the effect that he didn’t realize things happened “so fast”. Changed his tune a bit after that.
Maybe “Gentle Ben” needs to go to tactical school.
