A. The kid WAS African American

B agreed,  but could have gone either way, the cop should be lauded, have you ever had a gun pointed at you?

Unless you can show us a birth certificate showing he was born in Africa, I am gonna stick by my guns and say the kid was American.

Warren isn’t Indian.  You are not Jewish.  That little boy isn’t African.  

 

Nope, having a great day.  Just don’tthink mis-labeling should be allowed to become a trend.

In calling Warren Indian I claimed that was like calling me Jewish because I have it pretty far back in my history as she claims, African American is not an uncommon label for a black.

 

Glad you choose to buck that trend, seems trivial to me, but more power to you!

To me, it is no more trivial than sexual abuse claims that are decades old, or the premise that all white males are racist.  It’s just the opposite of a fact, Jack.

Just as I am not Caucasian, though that label is often forced upon me.

Aren't cops given training for this sort of thing? Why become a cop, if your first reaction is to shoot first, ask questions later?

I assume your answer to B is no, first reaction is, a gun is identified,  end the threat, not determine if it's a toy
