Oh, but it was a fake gun that our fine upstanding citizen pointed at the cops face!

I. Don't. Care. What kind of idiot walks around carrying a bb gun that looks just like a glock... And points it at a cop?

A gentle giant I am sure.

Why is a 44 year old man sitting in a car with a BB pistol? Seems odd.

Stupid doesn't have a skin color and that's all that was going on there, that guy wasn't killed because he was black he was killed cuz he was doing something stupid.
That's what's really frustrating about this narrative is that race has nothing to do with any of these killings it's the fact that the suspect was doing something dumb.

Not at all he's probably waiting to commit a robbery

That settles it then.

Any person observed in public with a gun gets shot on sight.

Works for me.

Suicide by cop. Seriously. Not only did he get someone to do it for him but now he’s going to be honored a national “hero” and his family will get more money than he could have provided them in his lifetime.

I can tell that you have never faced a real life or death situation in your life.

Yet, you truly believe that in a split second a cop or a legally armed citizen has the time to determine if that’s a BB gun or a real gun once it’s pointed at you?

People like you should volunteer to join your local police force and show all those evil racist cops that they have nothing to fear from a BB gun. I can pretty much guarantee that you will be dead within 1-3 years while proving your failed ideal.

Well, don’t worry... More and more cops are retiring or leaving law enforcement and recruitment is at a all time low for highly qualified applicants. So realistically, pretty soon, YOU might have to be our own “police.”

A dead one.

You are going to get the same response in most countries if you start waving a gun around, and refuse to put it down when told by armed police.
