Dude was walking up to police with his hand out. They keep killing my people. It's so exhausting.

Edit: He might have a knife. I'm not sure if he does or if police are being scummy police.

Edit: Witnesses said he had a knife so that might just be true.

      for you specifically. if your response to someone near you having a knife is that they should be shot, you have no business being any form of police

          yes, clearly i am a suburban brat who does not know what it is like to be stabbed at all.

          you are afraid of knives, and apparently poor people.

          get over it.

              go to the poorest area in your country and try to talk your way out of a mugging.

              just amusing how you think im a rich suburbanite, but you talk like one

                  Dude you are having a fit right now and the desperation with which you accuse someone disagreeing with you of being sheltered is disturbing.

                  I'm truly sorry you grew up in a situation with lots of violence born out of poverty and have had to deal with lots of trauma. But using that as justification for defaulting to violence in every tense situation... while understandable,...is messed up.

                  I don't claim to know or understand your situation, but I've been mugged at gun point, etc. too I'm coming from a place of legit critique and not mockery

                    their immediate jump after being told they speak like a rich suburbanite was to "ebonics" and not to reflect on the fact that theyd just equated being poor with being a violent criminal.

                    as though we didnt all just watch a man die because the cops did that same bigoted math of black=poor=criminal=imminent deadly threat.

                    like, i appreciate you trying to be understanding and all, but assuming im sheltered is about the least disgusting thing that was thrown out there.
