What's ridiculous is that if you get a call of someone brandishing a gun, why the hell would you drive your cruiser straight up to him?
Seriously, if it was an actual crazy shooter with a real gun neither one of them make it out of the car. How crazy would that video look?

I do, however, think it's entirely possible that a cop seeing a black guy leads much more often to "shoot quickly" than when it's a white guy.


As long as you concede that this is true for black, brown, asian, mauve, plaid, ecru, violet, etc., cops, maybe I'll concede this is at least a subconscious factor.

Having said that, how are we going to eliminate subconscious bias against blacks that is certainly present in some blacks, yet not all whites?

Too bad he didn't have a dismal handgun performance here and shoot himself instead of that kid.

Major problem...cops have become like catholic priests...brutalize someone in TX get fired, move to LA, rinse repeat.
