T J Sotomayor on this: https://youtu.be/-C1gNObpcWw
Whew! "I'm Tommy Sotomayor. Eff you and good night."
In general, I think Tommy sort of has it right, but I disagree with him in believing that Drejka was trying to set up a black man for a shooting. I don't know Mr. Drejka, but I do know people who get personally upset when those who don't have permits park in handicapped parking spaces. I'm one of them. Personally, I'ma craven coward, so I don't get in people's faces -- I call a cop. The problem is, 90 percent of the time either dispatch "can't spare" an officer, or the officer doesn't arrive until after the scofflaw has fled the scene of the crime.
There's nothing racial about it. It's about being annoyed with people who don't think rules and laws apply to them. My response is to call a cop -- we pay them to deal with those things and that kind of person. Mr. Drejka's response is to speak up for himself. There's no way to know, but the store owner was cited as telling some "journalist" that Drejka often hassled people about parking illegally in the handicapped space. Are we supposed to believe that ALL the people he hassled were blacks? I don't think so.
On top of this, it's in Florida, and these are young people. You can't see from the security cam video because by the time the woman gets out of the car the driver's window is rolled down, but I'll bet when she parked there the window was rolled up, the a/c was blasting, and I'll bet the window is tinted with limousine film so dark that not even Superman could see who was behind the wheel. I don't think Drejka picked on her because she's black. I think he picked on her because she parked illegally in a handicapped parking space, and that happens to be Drejka's trigger issue.
Case closed. No racial motive behind it.
Now let's flip the coin: How would McGlockton have behaved if he had come out of the store and some BIG black dude was standing there chewing out the GF for being parked illegally in a handicapped space? Is it not at least possible that McGlockton's action was racaily motivated, that he overreacted because "that white MF'er" was arguing with his woman?
