Trump.
This is a gun crazed nation and the NRA promotes open carry and being armed. Being armed means a certain death sentence for a black man who seeks to carry for protection. Both incidents captured on video and streamed. In AL no matter what happened prior it was murder when you shoot a man in the head while he is laying on the ground, unable to reach for anything.
In MN a black man can't even obey the police and reach for his license and registration. What trauma to the child in the car to see her dad shot and her mom placed in handcuffs.
It is even hard to type through the tears...I am so sick to heart about how police think it is just fine to shoot a black man or woman on any whim...whites in the same situation are NEVER treated this way.

(53,521 posts)It seems like to me that the cop was offended by the very idea of a black guy having a CCW and had to "put them in their place".

The store owner said they just came up and apprehended him and the guy wanted to know what was going on and they tased him.
No wonder BOTH of the body cams fell off cause it looks like they did very little to deescalate that situation

(212 posts)the NRA will be all over this clear violation of the Second Amendment. Because not to do so will leave them revealed as absolute racists.
