    Saw a white cop kill a black man who had a toy gun. Nowadays that would cause rioting. I could see the cop and he was definitely scared. No doubt he thought the guy was trying to kill him.

    Thats right there is why killer mike (rapper) advocates MORE legal and responsible gun ownership in the black communities he visits. (And hes a green party liberal)

    Same arguement as chris rock's "how not to get shot by the police" sketch

    Theyre armed, you know it, maybe dont antagonize em?

    Don't want to get into the whole debate. But it's pretty easy not to get shot by a cop. Just comply with their instructions.

    I tested a few officers one time when I was black out drunk and had no clue what I was doing. I lost. I came to and wondered why I was in cuffs. Kept resisting and that did me no favors. Felt like a complete jerk and deserved everything I got from them.

    They didn’t carry tasers back then.

    I maybe miss reading your post unless you think the man was shot due to skin color and not because he pointed a gun at a cop. The cop didn't know it was fake at the time.

    I do think urban area gun control is one of the reasons violent crime is so high. Tell the thugs that their victims can't fight back, glorify thug life and now reduce police presence and the consequences of their actions and you have a crap hole area to live in.
    More gun owned by good law abiding people would reduce crime.

    Turning a corner off 125th in Harlem one night some idiot jumped up on the passenger side and opened the door on my co driver asking for cash. Scared the hell out of us both. Lucky his dumbarse didn't get ran over

    I've been all over the ghetto in NYC and Baltimore. NYC really didn't bother me but Baltimore on the other hand was a different story. Doing food service. A few of my stops in the ghetto of Baltimore said DO NOT DELIVER AFTER DARK Lol

    Most days the Sig P938 is by my side. Nice little pocket gun that can fit in your front pocket and not even see it's there

    These types are the ones that I dislike. Chump bought an old squad car crown vic, went to pep boys and got a few of those fake antennas, and roams the highway playing traffic cop. 60 years old trying to dress like SWAT. This would be the guy that would give gun owners a bad name.
