Hey doughnut boy, explain this one.
When the cops shoot a white, it’s not in the news. When it’s a black, all hell breaks loose.
Who the hell was the a$$HOLE who called the cops and said there was a man with a gun? No gun! This is the kind of mad hysteria that gets people killed!
Very grateful this gentleman survived.
Two questions come up with this with me:
1. There was no mention of black or white being in question throughout the article so I begin to wonder, if he was white, would he have been shot?
2. I read a few articles on this and found that the he was shot actually one time because they mentioned “the”bullet that hit him. According to the articles, there were three shots discharged. It took three shots to hit a man on the ground one time? The articles didn’t say if all three were from the same officer.
It was a big screw-up, but not intentional. Sounds more like a guy, or group, was scared, didn’t use proper weapon control. This or just plain stupid.
And I’ll bet you before the smoke clears, the feds will be in there mucking things up like usual.

How terrible! Condolences to the family.
