Here’s A List Of Just Some Black Americans Who Were Acquitted On Self Defense
Kyle Rittenhouse was recently fully acquitted due to self-defense.
Instead of accepting this, or better yet—celebrating this verdict, the left took to the internet and the airwaves to shout claims of racism, discrimination, inequality, and white supremacy.
The left seems to think that you can’t be black and exonerated on self-defense in this country, or at the very least they are peddling this nonsense while knowing it isn’t true.
This absurdity is simply the latest insanity of the American left, and Amy Swearer has so thoroughly dispelled these claims through her lengthy thread, and I encourage you to read the entire thing.
For now, here are some highlights from that thread:
Jaleel Stallings was acquitted of multiple attempted murder charges related to him shooting at several St. Paul police officers last summer. He [reasonably] claimed self-defense and that he had no idea these guys were cops. https://t.co/8DPWDdRIut

It took the jury only four hours instead of four days to acquit Stephen Spencer of murder in a white man's death during a race-related dispute. Spencer claimed self-defense.https://t.co/DahVnwpc3D

WPBF News 25, a local ABC affiliate, had more on the exoneration of Andrew Coffee IV:
Andrew Coffee was found not guilty on all counts of murder and attempted first degree murder Friday.
Coffee is accused of firing at Indian River County Sheriff’s Deputies during an early morning drug raid at his home back in 2017.
His girlfriend, Alteria Woods was caught in the crossfire, shot 10 times and later died. Coffee was charged with the murder of Woods after a grand jury exonerated two law enforcement officers for her death.
Trey Adams stabbed a high school classmate to death. Acquitted for? You guessed it – acting in self-defense. https://t.co/oFMlMvO9Et

The Associated Press likewise featured another case where a black American was acquitted on self defense:
A black man has been acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of a white man outside a bar in a case his attorney said stemmed from “ugly racism.”
Jurors deliberated for four hours Friday before acquitting Stephen Spencer of homicide, aggravated assault and terroristic threats. He was freed after 453 days in Luzerne County Correctional Center following the July 2017 shooting.
