No need to gun these kids down 1 1/2 seconds after driving up on them...











Nope, no need at all. They've got REAL guns, see?


(No, I've NOT advocating that the police gun these kids down, if that's what you're thinking. If you did, don't be ridiculous.)

I think that's what the OP is getting at, some people get due process and a situation evaluated for actual threat while others do not and judging by appearances a great deal of what determines whether or not you get due process is your race.

How young is too young. Do you think the 3 year old that got a hold of his mother's gun should have just been taught to have more control over the gun?

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.
