3. What does your link have to do with this

Because it DOES appear you came back here to defend a couple of dumb assed half wits.

Whatever the case, the violent encounter should help illuminate the very real fears so many black families have when calling the police. This family needed help. They wanted to report a crime in their neighborhood. The husband wanted to protect his wife. These are all very basic rights we have, but day after day we see that gun rights don't really apply equally to African-Americans.

his man did his JOB trying to protect the woman he LOVES.

Why is it so fucking hard for non black folks to understand that black men actually love and cherish and want to protect their 'woman'?

I don't get what this block is?

What is this mental block?

Just show EMPATHY for this woman whose protector is lying in a hospital.

She certainly can't expect the police to protect her . . . now can she? She's lucky they didn't chase her around her house and shoot her too.

Confusing? Blue_Tires made the point in his op title JustAnotherGen Aug 2016 #5

Possibly because you're broadening a premise beyond its original scope. LanternWaste Aug 2016 #6
