Five days after the fact, state and local authorities have not released a video or details in the shooting of an African-American motorist by a white Highway Patrol trooper and the lack of information has fueled plans for a safety forum for black men.
“There is this sensitivity to this now, and it is raw,” Rep. Joe Neal, D-Richland, and a former chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus, said Tuesday. “People are worried.
“If this man (driver Levar Edward Jones) really was unarmed and there was no struggle, then why did the man (Trooper S.M. Groubert) have to shoot? What does this mean? Is this open season on black men?” said Neal, who normally is measured in his public statements.
He and a handful of other African-American ministers, who know Jones, 35, is black, are organizing a forum on Sept. 27 to, among other things, talk to black men about how to conduct themselves when police stop them. Details have not been finalized.[…]
There were people at the scene … who reported he was unarmed and he did nothing wrong,” said Rutherford, an attorney, who has yet to retained by Jones. “I do know that there were no weapons in the vehicle.”
Spry, the associate minister at the north Columbia church, said he was at the scene.
“They were definitely going through all his clothes while I was there,” he said, describing the examination as a “strip search.” Rutherford also used that term.
“I didn’t see any weapon come out of that truck (SUV),” Spry said. “They didn’t find any dope come out of that truck.”
Spry said Jones’ best friend has told him that Jones, an assistant manager at a Subway restaurant, had been visiting his mother near where the stop occurred close to the intersection of Broad River and St. Andrews roads.[…]
Ivan Carter said at the town hall meeting that despite being 30 years old, he still gets apprehensive when a police car is in his rear view mirror.
“Every time I see a cop, I get nervous and I don’t know why,” Carter, a prevention/intervention specialist with the Columbia Urban League, told The State on Tuesday. “I don’t do nothing. I’m not in the streets anymore, but it is a nervous feeling I always get.”
With the help of strong mentors, including Mayor Steve Benjamin, Sen. Darrell Jackson, D-Richland, and Urban League executive director J. T. McLawhorn, Carter said he turned his life around. He’s close to graduating from the University of South Carolina with a bachelor’s degree in social work.
Carter said he had brushes with the law as a young man and that his brother died in gang violence. He understands fear among young black males on the street.
