I can't imagine the Coast Guard Official confirming Travis's rendition. According to Travis you show a gun to de-escalate a situation.
So according to Travis he showed his gun to de-escalate a situation against a man who was running with no weapons on him and who was no threat to him. Travis testified that Ahmad was no threat to him.
No matter how you slice and dice this, Travis is the aggressor and Ahmaud was trying to defend himself against him.
Flight or fight.
For 5 minutes of this aggressive stranger chasing and yelling at Ahmaud, Ahmaud took the flight response. Finally, when the aggressive stranger got out of the truck pulling a rifle, Ahmaud's fight response clicked in.
No, none of this seems like Coast Guard training.
The purpose of someone from the USCG testifying ISN’T to confirm Travis’ understanding of his training. I’m not sure where you got that from what I wrote. The purpose would be to say that isn’t how the USCG does things, never has been, never will be.
