re: Things that would not fly if A Christmas Story were released today?

Mega troll job IMO. Applying today's semi police state perceptions where cops seemingly shoot first and ask questions later to a recollection of getting a BB gun for Christmas in the 40s is asinine to the Nth degree. This is coming from somebody who constantly gets shite at the office for being too liberal b/c I think cops do tend to treat the varying races differently due to systemic issues caused by long term divides the current generation did not create but still has to deal with until a bunch of old fricks that lived through 60s and their kids who grew up listening to their biases (on both sides) die off.
