Christian Family band members in brawl

in Walmart parking lot
http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/11/us/arizona-parking-lot-brawl-video/
<snip>
Arizona investigators have released dramatic video of a Walmart parking lot brawl that left a police officer wounded, one man dead, and reportedly involved members of a Christian family band.

Enoch Gaver, 21, was killed in the fight in the town of Cottonwood, and suspect David Gaver, 28, was shot in the stomach and taken into custody. Police Sergeant Jeremy Daniels was hit in the leg by a bullet fired during the melee.

The police dashcam video, released Friday, shows Cottonwood Police approaching the group of eight people -- all identified as members of the Gaver family -- around a large SUV in a Walmart parking lot on March 21.

White, Christians, a family band, Wal-mart parking lot, SUV - stuff of comedy.

It's a good old fashioned christofascist revival meeting, and they just got too much of the spirit, that's all. The police were violating their religious freedoms!!111!!

Just imagine what they would do to LGBT if they could express similar love and faith of their religion without going to jail for it.

Perhaps, but their not being dead would have everything to do with their race, not their religion.

my mother lives in this little burg, cottonwood. there is an apache tribe there, but very few AA in cottonwood. according to mother, (this) walmart will no longer allow campers in their parking lot after this incident.
