VIDEO: White man pulls gun on black Minnesota man he assumes is a drug dealer

A black Minnesota man recorded a tense confrontation with a white man who pulled a gun after apparently mistaking him for a drug dealer.

Demetrius Taylor, of St. Paul, said he was sitting with his nephew in a parked car that he was considering buying when a resident began photographing them.

Taylor got out of the car to confront the man, who has not been identified, while using his own cell phone to record video of the encounter.

That’s when the man pulled a gun and loaded a bullet into the chamber, Taylor said.

“You just pulled a gun – I got it on video, I’m videotaping just like you,” Taylor says on the video. “Make sure you call 911. I got it on video just like you. (You) just pulled a gun on me, for no reason at all. You taking pictures and you recording? I’m doing the same thing – it’s not against the law. I’m not armed.” ..................(more)

5. In all fairness to the white guy, the black guy was black.

sarcasm thingy here for those without the gene

6. Why is this guy permitted to walk around with a gun?

He should have his permit taken away.
Again the guy with the gun takes no responsibility and gets no penalty.
Is it not a crime to pull a gun on someone?
Do people with guns have the right to play cop?
If the Black man feared for his life and tried to defend himself he may have been shot and the shooter was afraid for his life so no charges would be filed. Just like Trayvon.

7. so the asshole white guy whines about reverse prejudice, claims that taylor is "playing the

race card""?? how do people so clueless, so ignorant, so oblivious to their own behaviour, get to walk around without keepers?
