The 88-year-old World War II veteran who was beaten to death with a flashlight as he crossed a parking lot in Washington state may have died because he tried to defend himself, police said. [snip] “Our information is that the individual fought back and that may have made this, you know, a worse situation,” Spokane police Chief Frank Straub said.

Not fit to wear a badge.
If this corrupt pissant is still employed tomorrow, the people of Spokane need to hang their collective heads in utter shame.
Well, he is DEAD. How much worse can the situation get? If he had a CCW and a .45 cal or another handgun, there may have been two dead? There are two live Sons Of Bami [SOB] and a dead vet. Too bad he didn't have a chance to put two slugs into the two thugs.
Well you see Chief Straub, there's many of us who aren't cowards, you stinking lowlife bastard.
Delbert Benton live as a man and died as a man, something you'll never manage to do Straub.
Sounds like Spokane has the Police Chief they want - libtards abound in my birthplace.
I think the term is more correctly “Wiedergutmachungsgruppen” because Einsatzgruppen is so old school and dey be new school. Hat tip to Rachel J. of the Creepy A$$ Cracker school of economics and wealth redistribution
Excellent! I hope you email that to Straub!
No, he actually is a jackass. Wasn’t even qualified as a cop at the time of hiring - needed a waiver and time to make good on basic LEO qualification.
Motion seconded!
Better yet, his boss:
Mayor@spokanecity.org

I remember when that was the advise all air travelers were given about what to do if your plan was highjacked. Stay calm and comply with the highjacker's instructions.
Sometimes the passive sheep approach does not work out so well. Personally, I intend to go down fighting.
Whenever a white (or white Hispanic) kills a black, it is by definition racially motivated. Whenever a black kills a white it is just another statistic.
Clearly Belton should not have provoked his attackers by attempting to defend himself. He should have apologized for the wrongs committed upon the poor yoots' ancestors and then remained passive while they beat him.
My wife and I first enrolled our daughters in taekwondo classes when they were 6 years old. They received their black belt certifications before they were in high school. The are also well trained in the use of firearms.
I guess we were terrible parents because we refused to raise our daughters to be victims.
You have to hope your attacker breaks his hand or foot on your face so he stops.
Never fight back.
Nothing is said about these animals being fully willing to murder someone over a few dollars.
“He isn’t casting blame but police are generally not going to recommend resisting an attempted mugging. I don’t think that is news. Stay calm and comply with the robber’s instructions. In most situations it is naturally but ultimately isn’t worth it to fight back. IMO”
In today’s world you have absolutely no idea what these animals are going to do to you. They’ll murder you over 25 cents as these animals evidently had no problem doing to Mr. Benton. He was in his car, where was he going to retreat to?
The mistake we make today is assigning rational judgment to a couple of sociopaths that would kill you as soon as look at you and won’t bat an eyelash doing it.
Yes, we all know this baby made the situation worse by not giving his mom’s purse to the thug wanting it.
Correct. And she didn’t have any money, and they murdered the baby anyway.
Good idea, thanks.
If your old and white; relax and enjoy it.
