So this happened.
A white Florida man who has clearly been watching way too much Batman (or George Zimmerman) decided to tackle a black man he spotted walking into Walmart with a gun holstered on his hip.
Now that man, 43-year-old Michael Foster, is being charged with one count of battery for bulldozing Clarence Daniels — a 62-year-old man who had a license to carry the weapon.
Daniels was in Walmart to pick up coffee creamer for his wife. Far cry from whatever Foster was thinking.
From My Fox Tampa Bay:
Foster followed Daniels into the store, put him in a choke-hold and brought him to the ground, the sheriff’s office said. He then started yelling that Daniels had a gun.
A struggle ensued, with Daniels yelling that he had a permit. Security detained both men until deputies arrived.
They confirmed Daniels had a permit for the gun, and arrested Foster.
We’ll refrain from speculating if Foster was actually well-intentioned or racially profiling (sound off in the comments below), but maybe he should leave the apprehending to the cops.
On second thought…maybe not. Especially not in Walmart.
