No NRA outrage? No gun lovers to the rescue. No right wing 2nd Amendment supporters speaking out. That's weird, huh?

no one on the "right" (NRA and gun rights supporters especially) want to admit the cop was wrong. Weird, huh?

I am a gun supporter. I have a CCDW license, although I rarely take my gun with me. In the two years I have had it I only carried the gun about five times. And that was only in a vehicle.

Tell me the story and I will tell you if I think it was wrong. I have not heard of this incident

More whites are shot and killed by police officers in proportion to capita than any other race, many are innocent of the crime they are accused of. However, there are no "whites matter" protests and marches. Why is this?

Singling out one race over another, trying to raise "awareness" when statistics don't support the movement, isn't helping anything.

You are confusing per capita and proportion.

"According to the most recent census data, there are nearly 160 million more white people in America than there are black people. White people make up roughly 62 percent of the U.S. population but only about 49 percent of those who are killed by police officers. African Americans, however, account for 24 percent of those fatally shot and killed by the police despite being just 13 percent of the U.S. population. As The Post noted in a new analysis published last week, that means black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers."

It's basically the same thing, just worded differently. Inner cities are made up of a majority minority people, which is where most of the crimes are committed. I wouldn't say it's a race issue, because it isn't. It's a wealth and status issue.

And let's not forget about that whole affirmative action bull crap that completely disrupts the whole "white privilege" argument.

Take the first two panels of the meme on their own. Take race out of the equation.

This ALONE is not messed up to you? Where are the 2nd amendment lovers and NRA to back him up?

The fact he was a BLACK law abiding LEGAL gun owner that didn't do anything aggressive etc and whose life seemingly has less value than a dog is not going to sit well with some folks.

I don't know this man and have never heard of him before your meme showed up in "latest." I can't make a judgement call based on this meme alone until I have the time to sit down and research him. I was responding to the black lives matter argument you put up in the meme.

I don't think any unjustified shootings by anyone is right. I also don't agree with singling out an entire race of people and raising them up as if they're the only race that matters. And that's what black lives matter does.
