I keep thinking about Sonya Massey and Thomas Matthew Crooks.

A white cop saw an armed white assassin about to shoot Trump and ran away.

Another white cop saw an unarmed Black woman in need in her own home and shot her in the face 3 times.

Why are white cops more afraid of Black women than armed white men? If they can think split second to run away from an armed white man, why can't they think split second to NOT kill an unarmed Black woman? This horrific injustice is unsustainable.

@QasimRashid Your argument is valid, but your example of Crooks is not. Crooks pointed a rifle at the cop, who did the only sane thing and got out of the line of fire as quickly as he could.

This kind of recklessly inane rhetoric needs to stop. If you want to win cultural wars, don't carelessly resort to such easily skewered bullshit. That just makes it easier for opposition to dismantle your arguments and convince others they shouldn't listen to you. Be smarter than that.
