Angry residents confronted police today in Belle Glade, Florida after a white police officer shot and killed a young Black man fleeing from a traffic stop.
The shooting of 19 year-old Henry Bennett reportedly followed a traffic stop in which two occupants of the stopped vehicle fled with one pointing a gun at the deputy.
Like so many that #BlackLivesMatter has tried to champion, #BelleGlade's Bennett was a violent criminal with a record, including child abuse

If you brandish or point a firearm in the presence of a LEO, there is a good chance you'll end up shot. Common sense, folks. #belleglade
