If someone pulls a gun on a cop then whatever happens is their own fault. What about the ones that did nothing wrong and were shot because they were black? Do you think Tamir was guilty? what about John Crawford. The media stays away from those cases and exploits the others, causing riots. Why is it when a white guy goes nuts with a gun they figure out how to disarm him. How many white guys aimed guns at the police during the Clive Bundy deal and not one was shot or even arrested.
I see all this talk about the second amendment. Black folks are literally using it to escape oppression and the white Gun lovers are turning a blind eye to it.

When an officer goes into a call he must go on what he knows, up to that point. From there he tells the suspect to put down the gun (whether a toy gun or not, you do what the officer says), but the problem with a certain mentality of our society is they wanna do what they wanna do, and at the end of the day all the officer wants to do is go home to his family, not get into a long drawn out quandary because some moron decided he was going to do what he wanted. We have rules for a reason in society, listen to them.
