There is nothing to say except he shouldn't have had that gun to begin with, he had no CCL and he shouldn't have been playing cop. It's sad that he got shot but it was a stupid thing to do in that situation.
In a statement released late Tuesday night, the Illinois State Police said that according to witness statements, an officer from the nearby village of Midlothian gave Roberson "multiple verbal commands to drop the gun and get on the ground before ultimately discharging his weapon and striking the subject."
The agency said Roberson was in "plain black clothing with no markings readily identifying him as a Security Guard."
Yeah, I retract what I said, doesn't sound like a cop problem. Sounds like a dummy problem where people still think they have something to gain by ignoring the demands of an officer with a gun pointed at them.
I've been attacked by cops before, and I am a white woman. I was minding my business. I committed no crime. No one cared. Cops don't just target black people. Cops target people for whatever reason they have at the time. I don't ever trust cops.
Youre right. If more people complained (black or white) the attacks by cops probably would have stopped by now.

So good guys with a gun should take no actions in a shooting situation?
Remind me. Have you ever made the argument that mass shootings wouldn't occur if there were more good guys with guns? Explain how that works if good guys with guns shouldn't use them.

He wasn't even a real "Security Guard" that is legal to carry a weapon. He was a bouncer who was carrying illegally.
