BTW...I don’t agree with him on that point anyway. I don’t care who’s there when I turn around.

You guys are the ones that brought up Jesse Jackson.

Are you relieved when you turn around and find that the men behind you are white? I’m not. Nor am I worried if the men behind me are black. Are you?

If you’re scared, say you’re scared.

Spare me fairy tales black men are not getting judgmental racist treatment from cops.

Police have alleged that Yarber was “wanted for questioning” in a stolen vehicle case and that he “accelerated” the car towards officers when they tried to stop him, but his family and their attorney argued that the young father posed no threat and should not have been treated as a suspect in the first place.
The San Bernardino county sheriff’s department said officers were responding to a “call of a suspicious vehicle” and attempting a “traffic stop” when Yarber, the driver, “suddenly reversed the vehicle” and hit a patrol car and then allegedly accelerated.
If this is true, then he got what he deserved, end of story. I am getting sick of these criminals and their family's trying to justify their criminal activity and not wanting to suffer the consequence. Threaten a cops life and you're gonna get shot.

Can you provide us an example of the NRA either demonizing black people or selling guns?
That's what the NRA does, nowadays.
Then provide some examples.
Still haven't found any?

No worries, it's only been a month. I'm sure you two will come up with a trove of examples any day now.

The NRA has stores that sell guns? I wasn't aware of that. I canceled my NRA membership, but not because I had read even a single article that demonized blacks. I canceled because the sky is falling phone calls about the UN is going to take our guns, can you donate more money.
Last I checked the NRA accepts members of all races religions and sexes.
Yeah I just looked at their membership application. They don't ask about race or sex.

This isn't the Treyvon Martin case, where there was a witness who testified that he observed Martin slamming Zimmermans head onto the ground (or cement ...don't remember which it was), and pounding him with his fists "MMA style." When Zimmerman tried to get his gun, Martin tried (unsuccessfully) to take it from him. He would have used it on Zimmerman, had Zimmerman not been able to get to it first.

In the Michael Brown case, there were a lot of lies told, that were later disproven. "Hands up, don't shoot," was a lie.

Why would this guy have been going for his I.D. (as is alleged) before the officer asked him for it? That was just plain stupid, if true.
The Zimmerman case was anything but open and shut. Not saying Martin was an angel, but he wasn't the one who pursued and pushed the issue. Zimmerman should have done as he was told and stayed in his truck. I know he thought of himself as a super cop, but really he was just a racist little man who has anger and control issues.

I agree with you in regard to the Brown case.
Like you I dont know the facts of the Philandro Castle case.
