Joe McKnight was shot to death by Ronald Gasser in a road rage incident in Louisiana on December 1, 2016. Gasser was set free after the incident. Police claimed research needed to be done before Gasser was charged.
Now we find out that the white man that shot McKnight, Ronald Gasser, has been arrested for road rage before. He followed a man to a gas station and beat the man with his fist several times. For whatever reason, the battery charges were dropped.

"The February 2006 incident involving Gasser was also the result of what was at first a verbal confrontation...]The victim in that case... [only identified as] a 51-year-old man from Marrero, called 911 to report a man driving dangerously in a pick-up truck along Holiday Drive in Algiers...
The victim noticed a phone number listed on the truck to report unsafe driving and dialed the number. Gasser answered and told the victim he was driving the vehicle, according to JPSO.
"A verbal altercation began between the victim and Gasser," over the phone, JPSO said. The victim then stopped to refuel at the gas station at Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard, according to JPSO.
"It was at that time Gasser, who had followed him into the station, confronted him and began to strike him with a closed fist several times," the press release said."

Ronald Gasser |
The top cop in that area, Normand, needs to explain why Gasser wasn't jailed immediately. I thought that BEFORE I knew about the other man Gasser beat up in damn near the same location. How could police NOT KNOW Gasser had been arrested before?
A witness, who declined to give her name, said she saw a man at the intersection yelling at McKnight, who was trying to apologize. The man shot McKnight more than once, the witness said. She said he shot McKnight, stood over him and said, "I told you don't you f--- with me." Then the man fired again, she said.

So, you tell me. Why wasn't Gasser arrested immediately. Also, please let me know why we shouldn't be trying to put the sheriff in jail?
