Was the Alysha Duran Shooting Justified?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Let's get into the story. The internet is divided.
It's not about a black person.
It's about a young white woman.
Her name was Alicia Duran because she is now dead.
She was shot dead by an officer in Westminster, Colorado after stopping her car on the wrong side of the road and reaching for her gun.
So let's take a look at what happened.
Roll down your window!
What's going on? You're in the wrong lane.
Are you okay? Now, you just heard Officer Adams.
He's speaking to that woman, asking her multiple times if she's okay or if she needs medical attention.
There was no response.
But after a minute or two, that woman grabbed a handgun.
What do you got in there?
What do you got in there? What do you got in there?
What do you got in there?
Oh, s***! The windows of that vehicle you can see there were shot out.
Other officers rushed to see if they could help, but the driver, she was not responsive.
Officer Adams then races to a driver in another SUV who watched this all play out.
Ma'am, are you okay?
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
You can hear the emotion in both of their voices.
One of the bullets from Officer Adams' gun actually went through that woman's windshield and was embedded in the steering wheel.
Luckily, she was not hit or injured, just shaken up.
Officer Adams is currently on paid administrative leave while an independent investigation gets underway.
Officials say it'll likely take several months to complete, then needs to be presented to the district attorney's office for further review.
So was that shooting justified?
Let's see. Just to recap, you have a young woman who was driving on the wrong side of the road in the opposite direction.
The officer is very polite to her, asks her if she needs help.
She's not answering him.
She's not replying. She's not saying anything.
I don't know what she's going through.
I don't know if she's on drugs.
And then, having not said a single word back to him after a couple of minutes, she proceeds to grab a gun in her vehicle.
Hmm, let me think.
Justified. Justified.
Why is justified? It's not even a question whether or not it's justified.
Because when you play stupid games, you sometimes win these sorts of prizes.
You have to imagine, you hear that officer's voice, you hear the emotion in his voice, how terrified he is.
Now, we don't know his circumstances. Let's say he's got a wife and kids at home, young kids.
Every single time that an officer pulls over a person in a vehicle, they do not know what they are going to get, right?
So he thinks he's going to have a conversation with this woman.
It turns out she grabs a gun.
That situation immediately transformed into life or death.
Whose life was it going to be and whose death was it going to be?
Now, if you're an idiot and you've had your brain rotted by BLM and you hate the police and you go, oh, no matter what, he should have thought to grab a taser while she grabbed a gun and tried to...
He could have put her in a chokehold, coulda, woulda, shoulda, until there's a gun in your face.
He shot her because she deserved to be shot.
It's unfortunate that she's dead.
Yes, it's always, as I say every time, you never say you want the result to be
that somebody is dead.
I said the same thing with what happened to George Floyd, even though, obviously, he took enough fentanyl
to kill a horse, it's a sad thing when any individual dies.
But in this circumstance, everything the police officer did was justified.
Gratefully, he is able to go home to his family.
Gratefully, the woman that was behind and was in the line of fire
and basically could have been shot survived that, and she gets to go home to her family.
Gratefully, every single person on that freeway, who knows what she would've done,
maybe she was gonna grab the gun and go on a shooting spree,
gets to go home to their families that night because of something that the officer did.
And if you hear his emotion, I hope that that compels you because there's this media simulation
that makes people think that officers are just having a good time.
They just like to go out and kill and hunt people.
He breaks down crying, right?
Because of how quickly he realizes that things could have gone very badly.
He could have been dead. He could have accidentally killed the innocent bystander.
Officers are human beings that have to make these life or death decisions in an instant notice.
It's very easy for us. Easy for us.
We get to watch in the retrospect.
What are 20 different things that I might have done now that I know that this woman has a gun?
That's not how they're able to operate in the moment.
They don't have that information available to them.
And so as I said, this woman unfortunately did something very stupid.
The officer did the right thing in response.
This was an absolute justified shooting.
And I'm sure the court system will show that because we know that there's going to be no protests.
She's white. Nobody cares. This happens to a white person.
Nobody cares.
They're just like, oh, it only happens to black people when they don't know.
This is what happens in general when you don't listen to police officers.
It doesn't matter what your race is.
So there will be, as I said, no marches, no protests.
There will be no demand to lock him up and throw away the key because people will be able to think about this case sensibly because there is no race dynamic here.
All right, if you like this video, you're going to like the full episode even better.
