Step-6, if you are black don't even TOUCH a toy gun. Even if you are in a store that sells toy guns, stay away from them.
Amendment to Step 6...If you own a toy gun, dont be a dick.Step-6, if you are black don't even TOUCH a toy gun. Even if you are in a store that sells toy guns, stay away from them.
Did you forget the part about pointing it at people and the cops?
No, I didn't. And neither did John Crawford.
Seems strange that people that are swinging guns around in stores wouldn't think to listen to police officers when told to stop doing it.

Maybe if they gave them more than a split second to actually comply, maybe they would listen.

Have you watched the video? There is no warning and no time to respond.
It is telling that you aren't at least calling it a tragic misunderstanding and go straight to blaming the victim.
He ran away instead of complying.
No he didn't. They shot him within seconds of arrival and no time to even run away.
John Crawford dropped the gun and ran. Then...for some inexplicable reason, turned around and darted BACK for the gun in front of cops. If you are leaning on the Tamir Rice incident or the John Crawford incident you have to be HONEST. Tamir Rice spent an hour threatening people with what he KNEW was modified to look like a real gun. When police responded to a call of an armed individual threatening people in the park they came upon a guy that jumped up, walked TOWARDS them and reached for the gun. Tragic circumstances...but thats NOT on the cops.Maybe if they gave them more than a split second to actually comply, they would listen.
Watch the video. The video VERY CLEARLY shows his actions. Either you havent seen the video or you are being dishonest. Watch the video.No he didn't. They shot him within seconds of arrival and no time to even run away.

How are you going to make that claim? I presented the link, told you the precise point to go to in case you are too busy to watch through all 54 seconds. You SEE the man drop the gun and run and then you SEE him turn around and dart back towards the gun. Are you denying that actually happened or did you just not watch the tape?Have you watched the video? There is no warning and no time to respond.

In the Crawford shooting, police responded to a call of a man pointing a gun at people. They came upon the individual who dropped the gun and ran, THEN turned around and darted back for the gun. The video evidence is very clear.
There ARE clear incidents of wrongful police actions. Some where I would call it negligent like the recent Milwaukee shooting and some where I would call it outright criminal. But when all the incidents are clouded by Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, John Crawford, and Alton Sterling the 'movement' loses all credibility.
Kudos.I saw the video but I was thinking of something else. He does run back.

He is talking on the phone. Holding the pellet gun, pointing it down. He hears the police, looks up, sees a gun pointing at him, flinches away, and is shot. From there he is running for his life.https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/sep/25/ohio-shooting-walmart-video
Watch the video. John Crawford was fine right up until the 28 second mark. Watch the video. Be honest. Whatever stupid decisions HE made prior to that point and whatever the call was that went out WATCH THE VIDEO. Police respond to a call of a man with a gun pointing it at people. When they respond he drops the gun and runs. WATCH THE VIDEO. He dropped the gun and he ran. Then...at 28 seconds into the video, for whatever reason, he turned and ran BACK to get the. Watch the video.
Now...all this aside...you SURELY arent claiming that this is the typical shooting incident?
Last time...because you either are not watching the video or are so invested in the lie you refuse to be honest. Did you or did you not see the man DROP the gun and dart around the corner? Did you or did you not see him then run BACK FOR THE GUN?He is talking on the phone. Holding the pellet gun, pointing it down. He hears the police, looks up, sees a gun pointing at him, flinches away, and is shot. From there he is running for his life.
Put yourself in that situation if you can. You are minding your business, not paying attention to your surroundings because you are talking on the phone.
You hear someone yell something, you look up, there is a gun pointed at you, you flinch away BANG!
You haven't had time to register what is going on or perhaps even who is shooting at you.
