Chapos, am I crazy? Seen news on reddit about how LA police shot a guy 16 times, because he was running from them, dropped a gun and tried to pick it up. EVERYONE in the comments was like, well, he dropped a gun, they had to shoot him, he was a threat. Am I crazy? Or are they just straight up fascists? All of them were, like, yeah, we need police reform, but this is just media inciting riots, bringing race into this. What the fuck.
People have right to own a gun in USA, like, what, you just gonna shoot every black guy who happens to drop it?
We're raised on stories of Cowboys & Indians.
Of course we, as a society, will bend over backward to justify the gunslinger who guns down the non-white. Dark man bad. White man with gun good. It's one of the first lessons we learn as children. It's baked into our cultural identity.
I'm disgusted every time I see cop apologists, but I'll never be surprised.
It's why we see blacks being lynched by cops on a regular basis, but these white shitheads keep getting taken alive.
