Jones said race was the reason why he had a gun on him.

Nahhh. I suspect the same thing would have happened if Jones was white. Too many cops see their badge as a license to commit thuggery.

So since they were black, there was no need to have his hand on his gun? And the cop was in a "shooting stance", even though his gun was holstered?

What a cry-baby! Call this poor persecuted black man a whaaa-balance!

""I think they [police officers] view black males as a threat," he told reporters."

Everyone should.

It’s not racism. It’s that they are Raiders fans. Deranged and dangerous.

There was prejudice. Police are prejudiced against fire fighters. He probably had an article of clothing identifying him as such.

FTA:
“...the officer did not draw his weapon...” and “Jones said race was the reason why he had a gun on him.”

If the gun is not drawn, it was not “on him”.

“... a few minutes of a stand-off....” probably was about 20 seconds for the firefighter to retrieve and show his ID.

Such distrust is unfortunate and very corrosive to society. It can be corrected from both ends. LEOs (of all races) should stop treating citizens as property of the state. At the same time black people should reduce the percentage of criminals among them down to the average level. Then the problem of "us vs. them" will disappear, as it is nonexistent between Whites and Asians, for example.

However there is no interest among those groups to do anything about this problem. They both are content with how things are. LEOs can be simply ordered to behave, and those cameras do help. However there are too few black leaders who advocate civilized way of life and rejection of racism, and there is no oversight of citizens' behavior. Gangs are just modern tribes, with a power structure, rituals, raids, loot. This has to be changed, as western civilization is incompatible with tribal mentality. We cannot afford "hunters" in our midst.

How do you get in a “shooting stance” without a gun?

I think the BART cop was black.

Cops view black males as a threat? Hell, yeah!

They view firefighters as a threat.

...the police officer, who did not draw his weapon, kept his hand on his firearm and ordered the Jones family to keep their hands up.

Sounds like a non-story that was only printed because the firefighter insisted it was racially charged. Nothing happened other than he needed to identify himself to a police officer. Likely, the officer was there to secure the station not knowing there was someone there.

Had the station been robbed because it was left open and the cop saw the guy in there and just turned his head, the cop would also be blamed. I dont know why anyone wants to be a cop, they can’t turn around without being called racist and a thug, just like on this blog.

He was “basically” in a shooting stance, which is to say he wasn’t quite.
