Benjamin Crump has entered the Corey Ruiz shooting, calling the police use of force unconstitutional. I don't think the facts—or the law—support that conclusion.
In today's show, I walk through the video evidence, the circumstances surrounding Corey Ruiz's confrontation with police, and why I believe the officers were faced with an imminent deadly-force threat after an officer was allegedly stabbed and Ruiz continued advancing with a knife. I also explain why Madison's decision not to equip frontline officers with body cameras has become a major issue in the aftermath of this shooting, and why I think that decision says far more than Benjamin Crump's latest press conference.
I'll also discuss the protests that followed, the impact on local businesses, and why I believe body-camera footage has fundamentally changed public understanding of police use-of-force cases.
