(5,126 posts)However, the better question I have heard is....
A young black man (17 years old) walks down the street with an AR-15 and passes a bunch of cops.
What happens?
A) He gets "THANK YOU for your support!" and a water bottle.
B) He gets arrested for having an assault weapon and no license to use it.
C) Shot dead on the spot in under 10 minutes
Even assuming A - then this same guy walks on, people think he's an active shooter because he has a gun and they have been told shots were fired..... the crowd tries to disarm him and one person is shot
He moves on and continues to be accosted by people who think he is (and now he really is) an active shooter.
THEN this young black man walks back to the police after shooting people and tries to surrender.
What happens?
A) He gets taken into custody but released and goes home to his own bed to await trial.
B) He gets thrown in jail and is STILL waiting for his trial
C) He is shot dead before he gets to the squad car.
