Most people haven't grasped this.....but the guy shot....Rayshard Brooks....was actually walking the streets while on probation.
The deal? It appears that back in 2014....he done some crime and the court came to a decision...if he'd admit guilt. Spend one year in prison, and get six years of probation. The start to the deal? Going back to 2016. The prison in prison occurred and all he had to do....stay clean for six years. Fail at any point over six years....go to prison.
So when this DUI unfolded....reality set in as the .108 came up on the breath test. Once arrested and the court episode unfolded....he was going to do a minimum of three years in state prison.
Resistance? Go and think in his shoes. A stupid day out....drinking heavily, and one screw-up like this.....getting three lousy years in prison.
This is the problem with probation. To get the 4-star deals, you have to admit guilt, and then live this amazingly clean lifestyle upon your one year of jail/prison. The DA and judge gets this 15-minute session and rubberstamp your case....guilt and just doing a marginal amount of time. Then when you repeat your screw-ups....another 15-minute session stamping the end of your probation.
This guy was in the Wendys parking lot and looking at a terrible mess, and no real hope. So escaping from the cops made perfect sense. The cops? They probably deal with one guy like this every single week.
