If your response to a black man shot over and over in the back is to say “he should have followed instructions” you are the problem. “Not complying with an officer” is not Punishable by death in any circumstance let alone an extra-judicial execution.

I don’t disagree sir.

I don’t think the postponing of games tonight really does much at all in the grand scheme of things.

However, I do believe that there are issues with systemic racism across the world and we do need to take this seriously.

Is it possible to have a middle ground ?

Only when BOTH "sides" identify their needs, admit to their faults, failures, abuses, etc.
But nope, I see mnone of it, only finger pointing and a general digging in on both sides...the exact opposite of what is needed to reach a point of resolution.

Gun Safety Training tonight,
Concealed Carry class in 2 weeks.
1,000 rounds of Ammo
My plan is coming together

weird...I see about 4 prospective customers a day here...
the unrest is unbelieveable, and I am stunned at the number of people who have become gun owners recently.
We may be inching closer to a civil war

Well it's a to prong, not listening and then going for a weapon you are putting your life in danger. Did he deserve to get shot 7 times "NO" but it wouldn't have escalated to that point if he would have just stopped.

What would the white supremacists' leaning side be fighting for? They are already the dominant culture? That police should be able to kill at will? That the constitution is null and void?

If Blacks were more powerful they would be the ones who would have the gripes, they are the ones who live on the other side of the tracks, go to the sh*t schools. There were 200,000 people in prison in 1970 there are over 2,000,000 in prison now for selling dimes of weed a few times and then there are corporate embezzlers and money launderers who get probation. So, what is the b*tch for the war on the angry white males side for a war?

This. Not listening escalates an already uncomfortable and escalated situation. He didn’t deserve it, Floyd didn’t deserve it. And I hope, with undeniable proof that the cops get what’s coming if they are found guilty by a selection of their peers. Just like all victims should get. And we should all take a lesson on how to lower the chance to minuscule of being the next victim by complying, and bring up injustice the next day. There’s middle ground in all situations and we all would be better off if we looked for it.

Nice ! Another levelheaded response.
Good luck with your classes. Target shooting can be a lot of fun.

In addition with the way things are in the world, eg defund police etc, you may need it to protect your family.

I am not a angry white male, but petty wars have been started for less. I am not the one who has degraded there neighborhoods to the point where businesses don't want to stay there or people don't want to live there. Funding for schools is helped by the people that live in those districts and pay school taxes, less people means less money, time to look in the mirror and say I have brought some of this on myself.

Agreed.

However, if he HAD complied, he would not have gotten shot. If you're ignoring or can't understand that, you are ALSO part of the problem.

If a (frank)ing cop asks you to sit your ass on the curb, YOU DO IT. I don't care what color you are.

Makes you wonder.

It's not rocket surgery.

It all starts in the home. Teach your kids to respect others, use basic manners, and basically raise them right (don't talk back to the (frank)ing police, for one), and the rest usually takes care of itself.

So, you didn't answer what is the reason you or your kids would die for in a Civil War?

And if you were one of the 13% of a country you wouldn't be talking so arrogantly about how life should be and how easy it is especially when banks redline and develop segregation.

I can't seem to go anywhere without this garbage everywhere.🤦🏻‍♂️


This is all about a pedophile that had a warrant out for his arrest, not "social injustice".

A pedophile that resisted arrest and fought with law enforcement officers, refusing to comply with their pleas and that defiantly continues to his vehicle, opens his door and only God knows what he is reaching for when he goes into his vehicle.

He was not shot because he was "black", he was shot because he turned into a bigger and more lethal threat to every one and anyone at that scene.
That's why he was shot!
Not because of his skin color.

If the man was white, he would have and should have been shot too.
If I am the officer, I don't know what he is going for in his car?

I'm shooting him!
Black ,white, red, purple, yellow, I am shooting him!
I want to go home to family too at night!


It's his life or mine is what your mind is calculating at that particular moment in time as a law enforcement officer.

Put yourself in those police officer's shoes.
Try to...
He was a threat.
He became a lethal threat when he tried entering his vehicle and reaching in for only God knows in that moment.

I think that this pedophile felt like he could act this way and get away with it because he says to himself, "they will never shoot another black guy right now because of the destruction/looting/burning and violence that it is going on in other Democrat led places...would they"?

He gambled and lost!

Again, his skin color had nothing to do with him being shot.
Not complying with direct orders and fighting/resisting law enforcement and then becoming a lethal threat is why he was shot, not because of his SKIN COLOR!!!

I'm out.
God help this country and those that make everything about one's skin color these days.

No, never said I wanted a Civil War, said it would be a horrible thing for this country. But I would protect my family and it wouldn't matter what % of the country you were. Arrogant, I worked my Ass of for everything I have, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. People act like every race doesn't struggle, you control you life, you make yourself who you want to be.
