Stolen car, armed with an illegal weapon, running, South Central... hmmm
None of that matters. Did he have the gun in his hand or was he reaching for it when he got shot?

Pull all police presence out of welfare/EBT areas. Let them police themselves. When the going gets weird, cordon off the area and call in Maxine Waters to pass out the pacifiers.

He had a gun and he was committing a crime, who cares.

Blacks have a much higher percentage of criminals among their group and even the one who aren't criminals will rally in support of the criminals just because they are of the same race. 65 percent of Blacks support the Black Lives Matters movement. That's an overwhelming majority.

I am sure his baby momma will say it wasn't a gun but a bible he was carrying.
