Self Defense is Not the Problem, Racism is: After White Pinellas Cops Misapplied Stand Your Ground Law & Refused to Arrest White Man who Shot Retreating Black Man, Prosecutors Charge Manslaughter
/
NON -LAW. It is the application or misapplication of policy or laws by racist police, citizens, prosecutors, lawmakers, jurors and judges that creates injustice for non-whites. Will prosecutors put on a faker show than the fake trial given to George Zimmerman?
From [HERE] Florida prosecutors on Monday filed manslaughter charges against the white man who gunned down a Black father following an argument over a parking space — a killing that led to renewed scrutiny over the state's "stand your ground" law.
Michael Drejka, 48, was being booked into the Pinellas County Jail with a bond issued at $100,000, said Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who was initially criticized for deciding not to bring charges in the case.
Drejka had remained out of the public eye while the sheriff forwarded the investigation to the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney's Office for a final review.
The fatal July 19 shooting of Markeis McGlockton, a 28-year-old black man, at a Circle A convenience store in Clearwater was captured on surveillance video and led to protests over why Drejka, who is white, could kill the father of three and claim self-defense.
Gualtieri said in a statement that he also supports the State Attorney's Office but would not comment further.
In an initial news conference during which he announced he wouldn't charge Drejka, he said that the surveillance footage does appear to show Drejka protecting himself, and his agency does not have an authority to make an arrest "unless we have probable cause that the person committed a crime." He said Drejka’s actions were “within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified,” reported The Tampa Bay Times. “I’m not saying I agree with it, but I don’t make that call,” he said.
The incident unfolded when McGlockton, his girlfriend Britany Jacobs, and their three young children pulled into a store's lot and parked in a handicapped spot.
Surveillance video of the incident shows Michael Drejka, 47, fatally shooting Markeis McGlockton, 28, in the chest, during an argument over a disabled parking spot earlier this week. Drejka was not disabled and many parking spaces were available. He was standing up for the City's parking laws. Apparently Drejka is a deluded neuropeon statist who combined his love & worship of rules & government and his hatred for Blacks into one unconscious reaction that evinced his patriotism - just like cops do.
In the footage, Drejka could be seen arguing with McGlockton’s girlfriend, Britany Jacobs, 24. Authorities confirmed that the argument started after Jacobs parked her car in a disabled parking space without a permit.
McGlockton, who was inside a store when the argument broke.
In a video recorded on a surveillance camera, Ms. Jacobs gets out of her car as the argument with Mr. Drejka escalates. In the same moment, Mr. McGlockton, 28, exits the Circle A Food Store and comes to her defense as he approaches Drejka and shoves him to the ground. Mr. Drejka, 47, then pulls out a gun while on the ground and points it at McGlockton who was about 7 feet away. McGlockton takes a few steps back moving away from Drejka who then shoots him once in the chest.
After suffering the gunshot wound, McGlockton stumbled his way back into the store to Jacob’s 5-year-old son. Shortly after, he was pronounced dead. [MORE]
In other words Drejka use of deadly force was not reasonable because McGlockton was unarmed and had moved away from Drejka after using non-deadlty force - Dreika was not facing imminent death or great bodily harm as the Black man backed away any threat had been neutralized. Dreika was angry that a Black woman argued with him and angry he got pushed to the ground after he righteously asserted the City's parking law.
Police documents obtained by NBC News and dating back to at least 2012 have accused him of being the aggressor in other cases. In one, a teenager reported to a Pinellas County sheriff's deputy how a driver — later identified as Drejka — dangled a black handgun outside of his truck window during a road rage incident.
No charges were filed in the case and the documents said Drejka's concealed weapon's license was valid. The cops didn't have access to the same records?
Another Circle A customer, Rick Kelly, told NBC affiliate WFLA that Drejka months earlier had questioned him about parking in that same handicap spot, and that Drejka inspected his decals to see if he had the right to be there.
Stand Your Ground Laws are not the Problem. White Supremacy is. Stand your ground laws are not racist - self defense is not racism. However, any law [such as a traffic regulation] or policy [such as stop & frisk] applied or misapplied by racist white people (judges, prosecutors, police, jurors, etc.) will lead to injustice for non-whites.
"Stand your ground" is a self-defense, criminal defense raised at trial that allows for the use of deadly force when it is reasonable for a non-aggressor/victim to do so. In states which have variations of this law a person does not have a legal duty to retreat before using self defense to defend themselves under life threatening conditions that are reasonably apparent to the victim. Many states, including D.C. have a version of the law. [MORE]
RACISTS MISAPPLYING THE LAW. Florida statute states the following;
776.012 Use or threatened use of force in defense of person.—
(1) A person is justified in using or threatening to use force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force. A person who uses or threatens to use force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat before using or threatening to use such force.
(2) A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has a right to be. [MORE]
As stated, Drejka did not have a reasonable belief that he faced either imminent death or imminent great bodily harm from the unarmed Black man who was backing away from him. As such, the use of deadly force was not necessary and stand your ground does not apply. This was murder and only a mind filled with racist belief could miss what is right in front of him.
That stand your ground laws enable white people to execute non-white people is deception created by elite media. Those advocating for the termination of stand your ground laws are advocating for the removal of their own rights to defend themselves! Missing the point, if white men began drowning Black children those deceived by white supremacy would blame the water and advocate for its regulation! [MORE]. If you do not understand racism/white supremacy, what it is & how it functions, you will only be confused by the "Stand Your Ground" deception.
To a racist, the application of Stand Your Ground to kill non-whites is about justifying psychopathic behavior that enables white genetic survival in a world in which the vast majority is non-white. It is also another reason why racists and cops should not be the only ones walking around strapped.
