WATCH | Naked white murder suspect attacks police officer and gets taken alive
It’s one of the most bizarre videos to hit the internet, an 18-year-old man accused of murdering three family members, shows us what a double-standard in American policing looks like.
Matthew Thomas Bernard, of Keeling, VA, was arrested after police say he killed his mother, sister and sister’s child with a shotgun. Bernard’s sister is the wife of Tampa Bay Rays baseball pitcher Blake Bivens.
But before Bernard would be taken by police, video from WSET shows him running around naked, running directly towards a police officer and charging him. After the officer runs away from Bernard, he sprays the suspect with pepper spray. The suspect the runs away and towards a church groundskeeper, who he begins to choke by the neck.
Bernard eventually lets him go after the police officer swats at him with a baton. Watch for yourself as Bernard survives the encounter.

The apprehension of white mass shooters and suspects has made national news, as critics wonder how they manage to be taken alive by law enforcement, while Black people accused of far-lesser crimes like selling cigarettes or reaching for an ID are often killed by police instantaneously.
This man, Matthew Bernard killed the wife, child and mother-in-law of Tampa Rays minor league player Blake Bivens.
He’s a murderer & will get to see his day in court.
Mike Brown, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland & Eric Garner never did.
