And not just black dudes, but you'll never cultivate allies in the African American community it if you treat black CCWs the same way you treat white CCWs that get shot by cops.
I know you are also trying to cultivate allies in the Law Enforcement world, but lets strike a batter balance, huh?

"This is why we don’t expect the NRA or the president to say a word about Bradford and Roberson, all but vindicated in their deaths. Nearly two years later, we are still waiting for them to adequately respond to the death of Philando Castile, the Minnesota school worker who even told the officer during the traffic stop that he was a Good Guy With a Gun and wasn’t believed. We are most useful to them either as victims or as the victimizers. Never as the hero."
And that is how come we don't win. We reject one set of potential allies for another set we sort of have.
I thought we all knew the NRA never jumps at the first set of news and not even the second. It takes at least a week with confirmed information before they issue a statement.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting on Philando Castille, Miguel. Has that one been long enough?
ReplyDeletePhilando is the reason I quit and am never going back.
