In reply to the discussion: The Minnesota shooting is the lead story [View all]suffragette
(12,232 posts)42. A markedly different outcome from recent NJ arrest
Of the three people who had multiple arms, ammo and even body armor. And they were on their way with intentions of using those against someone. Yet somehow, they were all taken into custody without injury after being stopped for a cracked windshield.
Contrast with this man who had no vigilante plans and was obeying the officer and within the law, and yet he was shot four times and killed.
No question in my mind that if he had been white, he would still be alive.
