    Another day, another black man murdered by a cop.

    Another day, another instance of a cop shooting a black man who posed no immediate lethal threat.

    Once again, we see evidence that the vetting process for determining the emotional stability of individuals who wish to become police officers — to see how well they handle stressful situations — is completely inadequate.

    Bottom line: if you, an armed police officer, regard a person not in clear possession of a firearm, someone who legally owns a firearm but has not demonstrated any threat to use it, or someone who has already been detained … to be making you “fear for your life” simply because of their complexion, then you are clearly ill-suited for this line of employment.

      “Hashtags and protests will erupt. Mothers and grandmothers and daughters and sons will mourn on our TVs. And through all of this grief, we must remember one thing: it’s still feels like it is illegal to be black in America, let alone try to carry
      a gun in a gun-happy nation.” ~ The Guardian

      of course he’s right. just look at the incident that took place where a fuckin’ white guy took a shot at the police.

      He was born with a silver spoon, but the man has some smarts and integrity.
