I don't think black folks should protest in this case. The suspect was violent and stole a weapon from an officer which he attempted to use on the officer before getting shot. Protesting will make it look like they are defending a man who engaged in a violent assault on a police officer.
I really am going to have to get into a firearms class and buy a handgun. I've resisted thus far but I realize that was foolishness on my end.
I was just thinking the same thing. I use to be anti-gun in my younger days but seeing the way our country is going, the 2nd amendment all the sudden makes sense to me.
As bad as it sounds one of the end results of this is that law enforcement are going to find themselves basically having to use every non-lethal method possible to subdue suspects, as the liability of using a gun is going to be too high. Yes, that does mean that more police officers will die while on duty.
This should already be the case. A cop can only use his gun when he feels his life or someone else's life is in imminent danger. This has always been the case. It's the reason why a cops first words are "I feared for my life" when I pulled the trigger. If this was strictly enforced we would not have all of these body counts.

Too late. They already burned down the Wendy's where it happened.
If you are intoxicated, sitting in the drivers seat and in possession of the keys you can be arrested for DUI. The keys don't even have to be in the ignition in some states.
You are suggesting they ignore this? What happens when he leaves the lot and kills someone? You'll be complaining they should of arrested him.
No. I'm trying to see if de-escalation was possible. If he wasn't cooperating, then he should've been arrested.
Next time I don’t get what I want, I’m going to burn down some property and destroy jobs in my community. Nothing says social progress like decreasing the numbers of opportunities, jobs, and property values in low income areas.
When Asian Americans discovered they were discriminated against at Ivy Leagues, they didn’t burn down China town and Korea town. They sued.
Oh and they educate themselves, that’s how they win. They don’t have to destroy anything. They just whoop your butt in school. We the black American community have a lot to learn from Asian Americans and African immigrants.
CNN just reported that the officer who killed the man has been terminated.
