What about the adults wandering around with real AR-15's? We should call the cops on them and see if there is a shoot out?

Did you miss my earlier post? I stated those guys that walk into establishments with their AR's making some kind of statement are idiots. Because they can legally do something, doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea. It makes non reeruned gun owners look bad.

If you view these all as isolated incidents, you could make a case, however it is stretched that the officer acted according to the police procedure.

The thing is that the majority of these shootings are of black people by white officers. Not every case obviously but we can't deny that there is a racial element to all thse shootings.

Add in some ancillary evidence that white people are carrying AR-15's into stores without any injuries to themselves or bystanders, you have to question that the racial profiling angle is more in play than we want to admit.

Yep, unfortunately, it's the reality.

We have a neighbor that lost their son due to a headlock from the police. He was in college, drunk and not cooperating with the police. They and the son are white. If he was black would they have just shot him?

My son is 6'4" 260 lbs. Headstrong as someone could be. I tell him at least once a month to not resist the police for any reason. Doesn't matter if you did nothing wrong, they are totally in the wrong. We will sort it out later.Get lawyers whatever, just cooperate and live.

What happened to the cop? Did they sue? Was he charged? That is my approach, cooperate and live. Now hopefully people can understand why my heart rate goes up when I am being tailed or pulled over by a cop and I have no record at all......

That's good advise, which would be hard to follow under some circumstances, but still solid advise.
