Same/different: In very similar case, on the same day, in the same jurisdiction, involving a White suspect running away, prosecutor Chris Becker decides not to charge Kent county cop with running over Riley Doggett (on the same day lesbian, democrat criminal feneral goes after Brian Keely in bLACK, Sterling case)

[“lesbian, democrat, michigan criminal general Dana Nessel has just announced: ‘If you’re a White policeman, you may not arrest any black men in my state’; she has set up second show trial in one year for a White policeman who killed a fugitive, black persistent felony offender who resisted arrest in grand rapids.”]

“no charges for Kent county deputy after teen hit by cruiser

“grand rapids, mich. (wood) — though he acknowledged the death of Riley Doggett was ‘tragic,’ the Kent county prosecutor has decided he will not charge the Kent county sheriff’s deputy whose cruiser hit the 17-year-old last month.

“‘based on the facts and circumstances, I did not find the basis to charge the officer,’ Kent county prosecutor Chris Becker said tuesday, going on to say he could not find evidence of intent to kill or commit great bodily harm, gross negligence or reckless driving.

“Doggett was running away after jumping from a stolen range rover in which he was a passenger.

“‘(the deputy) is trying to apprehend what he believes to be dangerous individuals,’ Becker said. ‘they have run from the police in holland just before this. they have an extensive chase here. there’s a possibility of guns being involved. given the totality of the circumstances, at that speed, I can’t say to the ‘ordinary mind’ that death or great bodily harm is going to result.

“Doggett’s mother told news 8 she believes the deputy should have been charged.

“‘He used his vehicle and ran my son over,’ she said.

[N.S.: She’s thinking, “well, when a cop kills a black man under similar circumstances, it’s ‘murder’ and there’s a huge payout, so why not in my son’s case?”]

“Ven Johnson, the Doggett family’s attorney, told news 8 he will ask the michigan attorney general’s office to review Becker’s ruling. He also plans to file a civil lawsuit against the deputy and the county.

“Becker said he has filed charges against the 17-year-old who was driving the range rover. He faces charges of fleeing and eluding causing Doggett’s death and continuing criminal enterprises. Becker said he will ask the court to try the defendant as an adult, citing the ‘totality’ of his criminal history.”

GRA: Sterling had eluded cops for two years on weapons charges and other felony warrants, was spotted, and ran. Doggett ran after crashing his vehicle. Both are being represented by [White] Ven Johnson.

The key: “police are trying to apprehend what they believe is a dangerous criminal”—that’s Sterling (and Doggett) in spades.

The difference: Sterling was black-that’s why Nessel is filing charges against White cop Keely.
