I see rednecks with guns will always be a part of the anti-looter repertoire.
In this case "crackers with guns". |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
In the early morning hours of December 17, 1979, police officers pursued thirty-three year-old McDuffie, who was riding a black-and-orange 1973 Kawasaki motorcycle. McDuffie had accumulated traffic citations and was riding with a suspended license. He led police on an eight-minute high-speed chase through residential streets at speeds of over eighty miles per hour. The officers involved in the chase (Ira Diggs, William Hanlon, Michael Watts, and Alex Marrero) later filed a report claiming McDuffie had run a red light and led police on an eight-minute chase. They said that, after McDuffie had lost control of his motorcycle while making a left turn, he attempted to flee on foot. The officers caught him and a scuffle ensued in which McDuffie allegedly kicked Officer Diggs. By the end of the struggle, the officers had, in the words of the prosecutor at the trial, cracked McDuffie's skull "like an egg." McDuffie was transported to a nearby hospital where he died four days later of his injuries. The coroner's report concluded that he had suffered multiple skull fractures. Cops were found not guilty.

I don't think it's even a case of them thinking the cops were right, they just don't care. In some cultures, it's low-lifes and criminals that run from the cops, not "decent" people. That is partially true, but it was also a different time and they probably had fair warning. We had a couple of police officers that came to my school to establish a "community relationship" with us. His words of wisdom were something to the effect of "Don't run from the police. We have radios, and if you make me chase you, I am going to hit you in the head with my flashlight". They meant it. The second was the father of someone in my school. He said when pulled over keep you hands on the wheel, don't move and do exactly as instructed. If you don't, I will shoot you because I am going home at the end of my shift. I am sure he was trying to put a little scare into us, but he was killed in the line of duty a few months later during a traffic stop. Somebody had a suspended license and did not want to go to jail  This of course was much more progressive than in my dads day. As he tells it, when he was younger you did not run from the police. If you ran, you were guilty and would be shot in the back, nobody would ask questions. |

1989 Miami Clement Lloyd/Super Bowl Riot
 The night was Jan. 16, 1989, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Miami was set to host the Super Bowl days later, an important event for a tourist city banking on the national spotlight. Lloyd, 23, a car-wash manager, was speeding his high-powered Kawaski Ninja motorcycle through the streets of Overtown. His passenger: Allan Blanchard, 24, an unemployed construction worker who had just moved to Miami from the Virgin Islands. Activating his car’s lights and siren, a Miami patrolman tried pulling them over. Lloyd sped up Northwest Third Avenue toward Lozano, who just happened to be stopped on the side of the road taking a report from a citizen. Lozano squeezed off one shot. The bullet struck Lloyd in the head. The motorcycle plowed into a Buick Regal, hurling Blanchard to the pavement. Both men died. As investigators and local city officials arrived at the scene, Overtown residents began angrily hurling bottles and rocks. Within hours, television news vans were torched. A meat market was looted. As police in Ferguson would do a quarter of a century later, officers with riot shields and shotguns streamed to the chaos. "We’ve been victimized all our lives, and now they’re treating us like animals, with no respect, and especially on this day, Martin Luther King Day,” one Overtown resident said. When the violence subsided, officials launched a slew of investigations. The Rev. Al Sharpton, already a polarizing civil rights activist, visited Overtown to decry Lozano’s actions — raising many of the same concerns he has repeated with the Ferguson shooting of an unarmed teenager by a white officer. Ultimately, Dade State Attorney Janet Reno bypassed the grand jury. Instead, prosecutors directly filed two counts of manslaughter with a deadly weapon against Lozano. Her decision tore Miami apart. Many cops and Hispanics defended Lozano, a Colombia-born patrolman with a clean record. "The political influence was extremely heavy,” said Black, Lozano’s attorney. "Everybody was concerned about further disturbances and, of course, with the image of Miami and the Super Bowl. That was more important than justice.” The trial was set to begin in November, just 10 months after the shooting. Despite defense requests, Dade Circuit Judge Joseph Farina refused to move the trial from Miami. Tension mounted as rallies were staged on both sides. Dade’s community relations board predicted 25 people might die in riots were Lozano acquitted. "It was a horrible responsibility,” said then-Dade prosecutor John Hogan, who scored a conviction against Koenig and led the state’s efforts against Lozano. "It’s hard to imagine how much stress it caused.” Courthouse observers predicted a win for Lozano. His lawyers were the prominent and eloquent Black and former cop Mark Seiden. The duo had just won the acquittal of Luis Alvarez, a Miami cop who fatally shot an unarmed man inside an Overtown arcade. Black and Seiden, however, knew the trial was an uphill battle. Every day, jurors walked into a Miami-Dade courthouse teeming with heavily armed police officers in the stairwells and snipers on the roof. "Jurors had a real fear, in my opinion, that a not guilty verdict would cause the city to burn again,” Seiden said. At trial, five eyewitnesses told jurors that Lozano aimed his pistol at Lloyd, tracking him in a dual-handed combat stance before firing the one calculated shot. In a halting performance, Lozano took the stand in his own defense. He insisted he stepped onto the street to pull Lloyd over and only fired — a hasty shot from the hip — after the motorcycle bared down on him with no time to spare. "You ended up, for lack of a different way of putting it, with the black folks with one version of what happened, and the police officers with a different version,” prosecutor Horn recalled. But Lozano’s account cut against him. The forensic evidence was key. The bullet’s trajectory was downward, which contradicted the hip shot, prosecutors argued. And over objections, the state was allowed to introduce Lozano’s departmental training that forbid shooting at a moving vehicle. At trial, three expert witnesses also testified that a cop should not enter a street with his gun drawn to pull someone over. "He knew other options because he had been trained in other options,” Hogan said. "That was an important thing for the jury to know.” Testimony lasted 13 tense days. And after eight hours, 13 minutes of deliberations, the six-person jury declared Lozano guilty of all counts. Worried citizens, watching the trial live on television, exhaled. No violence. But that did not end the divide. Some police officers wore black wristbands to protest. Farina sentenced Lozano to seven years in prison. He was allowed to remain free on bond pending an appeal. In June 1991, the Third District Court of Appeal reversed Lozano’s conviction.             |
