“Exactly, you do the right way, and a police officer, I thank you for that.
But what would the response be if an officer walked up and you had the gun in your hand? As friendly, polite?”

Well, you being a LEO, you know that everything is situational, as would be the officers response. If it should be my lucky day and the officer was cool headed, I might be asked to lay down the gun. If it should not be my day and the officer should be a bit wobbly, I might very well get myself shot, dead.

black man who had gun was a convicted felon, he doesn’t have the same gun rights that I do! I suppose journalists never heard of such a thing as depriving a felon of his 2nd Amendment rights, they are so well read and so much more intelligent than us.

Why does anyone still buy newspapers in the internet age?

Those that watch and listen know that Mr Robinson has been stuck on stupid for a long time. I don’t think I have ever seen him on TV that he was not promoting strife between the races. He lives in Chicago, and like there’s nothing going on there to talk about the number of blacks being killed. Could be that he just has not noticed.

More brainless and leftist hand-wringing racialism over the proliferation of Black crime under obama and the supposed role of the NRA.
