Fed-Ex delivery guy wants feds to take over investigations of attack on him

[butters]

Doing his job, delivering packages... gets followed by one vehicle then an attempted stop by a second, armed man (father and son) who proceeded to fire shots into his vehicle as confirmed by bullet holes and a bullet on the floor of the delivery van. After a week, the two men turned themselves in and made bail next day. Mr Gibson's concerned that the charges leveled at the two–and consequent bail–do not reflect what would have no doubt been leveled at two men if they were Black, and is pretty sure no week would have passed by before arrests were made under these same circumstances.

He said he dropped off a package on a street called Junior Trail at about 7 p.m. on Jan. 24 while wearing his FedEx uniform. He said he was not in a FedEx truck but in a Hertz van with the rental company's markings on the sides.

After the drop-off, a man in a white pickup truck began following him closely while honking his horn, Gibson said. He drove past a couple of houses and encountered a man standing in the middle of the road with a gun pointed at him, he said. The man was mouthing the word "stop," Gibson said.

Gibson said he swerved to get around the man, who started shooting toward the rear of the Hertz vehicle. He said he called his manager, who told him to return to the FedEx station. The pickup truck chased him all the way to an interstate, he said.

He eventually was able to get away from the pickup truck and called police to report what happened. He said a dispatcher interrupted him and asked whether he had been on Junior Trail.

"I said, 'Yes,'" Gibson said. "He was like, 'Well, I just got a call of a suspicious person at this address.'"

He told the dispatcher he was not a "suspicious person" and that he was just doing his job and had been shot at, he said. The dispatcher told him that had not been relayed by the person who reported seeing a suspicious person in the neighborhood.

packages just behind him took bullets that would likely have killed him if they hadn't been there. Bullet holes in 3 packages confirmed.

Well, of course the feds should investigate. If a FedEx delivery guy is attacked, the obvious culprit is a postal worker.

Hmm, we went from "They weren't black" to they're getting hosed. Are they getting hosed because they're white?

Gee, what usually happens when white people shoot at black people, Ish?

is there some sort of shield or privilege therein that makes you question the verity of justice here?
