Defense Lawyer [Public Defender]: “Your honor, in light of what’s happening in this country with unarmed black men being killed by police, him running from shots being fired is a very reasonable response”.
Broward County Judge [ Jay Hurley ]: “Don’t give me that, That is so off base. We’ve got a young man, I don’t care what color he is, he’s in a neighborhood he doesn’t live in at 1:41 in the morning, hiding under somebody’s dock in the water with a holster on after a police officer had a shot taken at him. Don’t hand me this, ‘running from police brutality’. […] That is not appropriate in this case. I’m not going to let you poison this case with bringing in something that has nothing to do with it”.
The judge is now under fire (first two minutes of this news video) and the grievance industry is aligning to get the judge fired.
