He should have been charged

at shoppers.

The racist had too much time on his hands.

Anyone who tries to harm others is a sociopath.

Synchronizing the phone call with the store video shows his call was simply a vicious act against the black male shopper, as there was nothing on the video which related to what the jerk was saying.

For calling 911 if they believe it's real.

cameras.

“He’s, like, pointing it at people,” Ritchie told the dispatcher. Later that evening, after John Crawford III had been shot dead by one of the police officers who hurried to the scene in Beavercreek, Ritchie repeated to reporters: “He was pointing at people. Children walking by.”

One month later, Ritchie puts it differently. “At no point did he shoulder the rifle and point it at somebody,” the 24-year-old said, in an interview with the Guardian. He maintained that Crawford was “waving it around”, which attorneys for Crawford’s family deny.

No other conclusions are possible for anyone who can see and hear, and understand it.

Horrific decision to let this piece of trash walk away from what he did.

Do we have a double standard, possibly?

think and act on their own, not treat a call as tactical orders.

convicted too imo.

The shooting is all on Officer Williams. Getting called to a location does not mean the cop MUST shoot someone. Both morons, but only one pulled a trigger.

... and so is that scumbag prosecutor. His evil ass should be in jail, but smart psychopaths become prosecutors. They know they'll never be called to account, no matter when malignant crimes they commit.

deceitful in order to paint the 911 call as a valid report of a possible active shooter in order to help the city and police department's defense against the civil suit.

... your previous response proves that Ritchie was lying through his teeth! The prosecutor had to have seen that as well. Depraved prosecutorial misconduct is rampant in our joke of a justice system, especially when it involves Black men.

who always reflexively side the with police/prosecutors in these cases in spite of what the actual evidence clearly shows or what can be inferred from it.

He claimed that the number of decorative skulls a person has on their body, clothing, or vehicle is inversely proportional to their IQ. More skulls = more dumber.

For the most part, it seems to be true. The exceptions just prove the rule.

with another intentionally frenzied false 911 call!
He suffers no recourse so why should he think he can't do it again?

unfortunately.

Doesn't look as if there's any place where he won't make life far more painful for many.

A sigh of relief. I have seen several DUers suggest doing this exact course of action any time they see a person with a firearm or item which appears to be a firearm.

Unless you are saying false 911 calls are ok as long as police shoot the person regardless of color.

Its amazing how many DUere have suggested doing the exact same thing.

The callers actions were being defended by pro-gun-control posters in the gungeon. It was stated the responsibility was all on the police and the caller had no liability.

I wonder why they have not checked in here supporting this decision to not prosecute?

What evidence do they have for this? How the fuck did the officer not get charged? The guy looked like he was shopping, did not look like he was going to use it even if it was one. This video was painful to watch. I once was arrested at gun point, thrown against the hood of the car by some dickhead officer because a security guard had a thing against me (I did not even know the guy). I really should have sued them, but i was young and naive that they did not do this crap to everyone. Hopefully these two will be haunted by the blood on their hands until the day they die.
