No one said it's most cops, but we have video evidence not of mistakes but of cold blooded murders with taxpayer money, or black people being targeted (unable to avoid interactions).

You seem to be very removed from this problem so perhaps don't understand its pervasiveness, but it's a problem very different from everyday street violence among gangs and such (which is also a problem).
Since the number of black people actually murdered by government employees is statistically the equivalent of zero you're whole argument is complete nonsense. What a surprise.

I support protecting one's home but I've also had guns misfire on me. Knew someone killed by one that accidentally shot, too. Scary stuff.
Complete crap based on a study that has been completely and repeatedly discredited but which is the last bastion of the gun control idiots even when they know it's a blatant lie.

Protected class? What are minorities protected from specifically? It doesn't appear to be police brutality.

They sure havnt been protected from attacks from their fellow minorities who are much likely to cause harm than outlier police brutality.

Despite the carelessness in your home, not all home's with guns treat them with fear.
if every one is made aware of the capacity of the tool, such negligence can be avoided .
You work the stove and how often are you severely burnt ?
Do you lock it up so no one else is capable of using it ?
Misused they have killed every one in the apartments. either unchecked gas or fire both kill. either by accident or deliberately.
Though licenses are issued, people still kill one another with cars, license or not. drunk or sober.
Because you may have an unreasonable fear of closets does not justify out lawing them for every one else.
People have been locked in closets and forgotten either on purpose or by accident .
If ignorance is supporting a fear of a thing, it is not every one else's responsibility to compensate.
Criminals are a part of every day life ,and not knowing where they will strike makes it impossible for the law enforcement to be there when it happens ,since the perp and the victim are usually the only ones on scene .
Many of us choose situational awareness to avoid trouble in the first place .
However this does not cover home invasion , and that cannot depend on waiting for it to happen to some one else first before taking action personally.

There are security things that detour some, but some one determined, may over look normal security parameters, and go in any way.
Face it , the world is getting crowded in on us deliberately by our governments, as a false flag to pressure the action of the UN agenda 21.
Crowd people in ,take away their land, and their defenses, and they will look upon seeing mass murder as a necessity not an option, long as it happens to some one else.
There are those here that have expressed issues of over over population, and invite the idea of mass extermination .
May be not out right but subliminally .
Liberals don't mind taking away some one else's wealth, abusing government services so long as it adds to their own.
When the free food is gone the riots begin.
If your refusing to see this crowding effect, you really do have your blinders on.
They do not assimilate they demand the accommodating nation compromise with them. England France Germany Philippines the list goes on.
Are you such a teenager to think we are impervious to this damage?
Think again.
It may already be too late .
If your afraid of taking responsibility for your own security that's fine, don't be a hindrance to those that do.

Not nearly enough of them are in prison, that's the problem.

I love it when leftists and race baiters pretend to be ignorant of the blatantly obvious facts. Is that technique they teach in Karl Marx school or what?

Because they don't actually go to prison until their rap sheet is a city block long. They keep getting slapped on the wrist and just continue on with their murderous ways.

We have the world's largest prison population. And our prisoners are 25% of the globe's prisoners. And drugs are somehow getting into the prisons.
