Today's shooting in America thread

[Centurions]

How was this middle aged, white woman not shot de... Oh, never mind.

A drunk with mental issues shooting at bullet proof glass with no else in danger. They did the right thing regardless of her race or socio-economic position.

They absolutely did do the right thing.

HOWEVER...

That would have been a VERY DIFFERENT outcome had that been a drunk black teenage male with mental health issues. And that's precisely the point.

If you had turned left rather than right you may have been run over by a bus, however you'll never know as alternative universes (probably) don't exist. In the same fashion you can't say that with certainty regardless of other cases.

She must have been lucky that none of her ricocheted bullets hit her.

I know. I bet he can’t find even one example of a black person being shot dead by American police when posing little or no threat

You can, however, make a fairly accurate guess. Somewhat disingenuous to suggest that there is no inequality when it comes to being shot by the police in America.

Where did I say there is no inequality?

Was my inference entirely incorrect then?

True, I'm surprised she didn't loose a few bullets when hammering on the glass with the loaded firearm with no safety on.

Your inference was total bollocks.
