If you are not black, you chances of getting shot in public by the Po-lease are very small.

But - with all the open carry, I suspect we are going to see some accidental dead people. Consider it the price of freedom...freedom ain't free.

As long as I have a choice I won't reside in places where guns on civilians are typical. Just because the law allows something doesn't mean every tom, dick and jane should do it.

Hey, Police are the good guys with guns. Therefore, by the very definition, if they feel someone is a danger to the public or to them they will likely shoot first and ask questions later.

Your chances of getting shot by the police are already very slim, regardless of race.

If you're black, your chances of getting shot by another black person are significantly higher than being shot by a rogue cop.

In fact, cops shoot more whites than blacks.

Amazing how skin color turns people’s brains into mush.

Some people think that an unarmed black teenager and an armed white adult are equal threats.

You can’t be serious. You really need that explained to you?

You realize there are many more whites right? You need to adjust the numbers for population differences before touting a statistic like it means something.

I know, math is hard.

I have no idea how much of a threat she thinks the armed white man in this thread is.

So, how could I possibly state that she thinks that they are equal threats?

Those types only care about proportionate statistics when they can be used against blacks.

Is it important that this story can't be found on a single reputable news source? Or that, other than this story, there is no record of a Cpl. J Reese on the Benbrook PD? No? OK.

How about the same story making multiple mentions of Warrior 12 apparel, including links to their site, and even serving up their ads mid-page? That doesn't raise any flags?

It's a fake news viral ad taking advantage of a very gullible target market.
