the motto's DENY ignorance.. not EMBRACE it dude..
Fine, the video you says proves he had a gun is cut off and we don''t "see" a gun, only a raised arm. The gun on the ground is a "gun on the ground".
Deny that.

If I were a black man, I'd carry a gun too.
At least if you've got a gun, you've got a chance to defend yourself from a group of people that have already demonstrated that they will not hesitate to kill you even if you are unarmed.
Youre talking about other black people right, since over 90 percent of the black people killed in the US are killed by other black people......
Yes of course thats what you mean........
Read my other reply to this stupid logic.
its not stupid logic, its fact backed up by data.....
In 2013, there were 6,261 black homicide victims in the U.S.—almost all killed by black civilians—resulting in a death risk in inner cities that is ten times higher for blacks than for whites. None of those killings triggered mass protests; they are deemed normal and beneath notice.
The police, by contrast, according to published reports, kill roughly 200 blacks a year, most of them armed and dangerous, out of about 40 million police-civilian contacts a year. Blacks are in fact killed by police at a lower rate than their threat to officers would predict. In 2013, blacks made up 42 percent of all cop killers whose race was known, even though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population. The percentage of black suspects killed by the police nationally is 29 percent lower than the percentage of blacks mortally threatening them.

So are you trolling or just conveniently ignoring facts

So you're not willing to take the video as evidence even tho its clear that he was doing something that mimicked at least raising a gun....because you say theres not enough evidence
But you're willing to speculate that the officer planted the gun......

Please, by all means then.........tell me how any of those facts are lies?
I backed up my post with facts , where are yours that all these stats are lies?
For your claim to be even close to true, it would have to presume that white officers kill more black people, then all of the gang bangers and murderers in the black communities killing each other......
that figure doesnt even come close to computing.......
Over the span of more than a decade, 2,151 whites died by being shot by police compared to 1,130 blacks.

You just said it, too.

My agenda is theres no connection of him to the gun as yet. This is not a court of law, is it?

lol.....you asked for stats and I gave them to you........
You just dont like what they say, thats the gist of it........
I like how youre willing to take PART of the stat as fact, but the rest of it that doesnt fall in line with the narrative you want to portray MUST be false.......
Sorry dude, cops arent out there killing black people in masse.........
Your assertion was that you would be armed if you were black because cops are out killing black people at will....
Thats what you were positing, then you asked for stats when rebuked........
Its more dangerous to be a black male in a black ghetto with gangbangers then it is to be a black male standing next to a cop.............and the numbers prove that.....sell your diatribe somewhere else......
Not to mention, this guy PULLED A GUN on a cop, or at least until the facts come in it appears that way........
So your point is moot
Its clearly a gun or something shaped exactly like a gun that he outstretched his arm and pointed at the police officer. This guy had a death wish.
