(4,035 posts)Black kids automatically become thugs twice their own age when they pick up a toy weapon, giving cops free and clear rights to kill them.
White kids with real, loaded weapons have the constitutional right to brandish them everywhere, not to worry, 'cause the cops will protect them against those unarmed black kids.
