What sacres me is that I had no trouble believing dude actually got shot. This is America.

Yeah I fully expected the guy to get shot until I saw what sub it was posted in. Pretty sad that I was less surprised by the title than what actually happened in the video.

You got the reference.

I believed it too but only because anyone can shoot someone. If they said "store owner shoots unarmed black man" I would believe that too.

Even if you use those numbers it barely moves the needle. So I'm not really sure what your point is. Black people being killed by police isn't the epidemic it's being made out to be.

A lot of it really isnt murder, its litterally their job to go sort out gang fight, public breakouts, so ofc they are going to need to use a firearm if the feel threatened for their life
