Gibson told The Associated Press on Friday that he was in uniform when the incident happened. He said he was in a van rented by FedEx but that it did not have a FedEx logo on it. He pulled into a driveway and dropped off a package sometime after 7 p.m. on Jan. 24. Before he turned his van around in the driveway to exit, he said, he noticed a white pickup truck pulling away from another house on the same large lot.
He said the pickup driver tried to cut him off as he exited the driveway. Gibson swerved around him and then encountered a second man.
“I drive down about two or three houses and there's another guy standing in the middle of the street, with a gun pointed at my vehicle,” said Gibson. The man motioned for him to stop. “I'm looking at him, like shaking my head, because why would I stop for somebody with a gun?” "
^^^ I can understand a driver not wanting to stop thinking it make be a robbery or other threat, but maybe, just maybe if he did and the turds saw the FedEx uniform ..... just maybe they would have realized their mistake and it would have been over.
Not saying they had a reason to do it in the first place.
But I can also see the turds trying to make a case that the driver tried to run him down. You know, the whole self-defense thing ....
I don't know, but I don't find this response appropriate:
"Police chief Kenny Collins did not return calls from the AP seeking more information.
Early this week, Collins, who is Black, pushed back against allegations on social media of racism in Brookhaven. “We’re not going to have outsiders coming in trying to stir that up,” he told The Daily Leader. “Brookhaven is not a racist, prejudiced town. You can’t judge a town by the actions of two individuals.”
“People need to be careful what they post on social media,” Collins said. “If somebody is killed or hurt because of what you post on social media, you will be charged, too.” "
Lawyers for a Black delivery van driver in Mississippi say they want more serious charges filed against two white men accused of chasing and shooting at the driver after he made a delivery last month
