if they were carrying those weapons and went into a bakery and were black?

The issue is the difference between how white people and people of color are treated in this country by the criminal justice system. If the went into a bakery like that, the people in the bakery would have shot them if they'd had a gun, or would have called 911 if not, and the police would have then come and shot them.
