How would you all have judged this if Brookes had been shot in the leg, apprehended and charged with assault (and obviously hospitalised)?

There are degrees of response required and "shoot to kill" shouldn't be first instinct.

btw, I'm fully on the side of Higgs here (except when he wrote "He ran and shouldn't of" :shake: )

Instead of debating liberal fantasies like “racism,” we should instead be concerned by the strange surge in black men hanging themselves from trees.

Another one just today. It gives me the same feeling as seeing all those Ferguson protestors "mysteriously" being discovered in torched cars with execution-style gunshot wounds. It's almost so blatant that they want you to know who's doing it

As long as we don't talk about the 400 people shot in Chicago last month.

If only Chicago had a well-funded police force! That number could be zero!

Take it to the BLM thread. Surely cops aren't doing this now.

Thinking you can take guns from Americans is even more unrealistic than testing and tracing down millions of virus cases. It's just people living in liberal utopia fantasy land.

I don't know if stripping blacks of their gun rights is such a good idea with all these racists around.
