(2,287 posts)they have on many, many occasions. Would they have engaged him??? Would they recognize that their state has an open carry law and maybe, just maybe he deserved the benefit of at least a conversation. Seems like the police seem to act very, very fast when the "perceived" assailant is Black. Not so much when they are White. And that my friend is the problem.
I'm not even going to get into how the so-called witness was trotted around every morning show with his tails of reckless behavior on the part of Mr. Crawford and how he was a good witness because he was "ex-military". Of course, Mr. "ex-military" was only military for several months until he was kicked out and then he recanted everything we hear him saying on the 911 call,
It seems that in situations like this everyone is entitled to the benefit of the doubt except the nigger who got shot dead. And I'm Black and when decisions like this come down which is just about 100% of the time, that is what we feel this country thinks of us and I'm not softening it with a fucking asterisk.
Maybe some other DUers can help refresh my memory but the last time I remember someone barging into a WalMart and gunning folks down, the perpetrators turned out to be White.
