It Looks Like Another Black Man With a Gun Was Killed by Police After Trying to Help
On Thanksgiving, yet another young black man with a gun, who seems to have been trying to help apprehend an active shooter, was mistakenly shot and killed by police, this time at a shopping mall in Alabama. Twenty-one-year-old E.J. Bradford Jr. died after being shot in the face by a uniformed officer. Coming in the wake of the death of another young black man with a gun who had just apprehended a suspect when he was mistakenly shot and killed by a police officer, Bradford’s death suggests one of the biggest limits of the conservative argument that “good guys with guns” are what’s needed to prevent gun violence: The police can’t always tell a good guy with a gun from a bad guy with a gun, and when the good guy with a gun is black, the police sometimes assume he’s a bad guy.
Being a good guy with a gun did not save Bradford or Roberson. Indeed, having a gun seems to have been a major factor leading to their deaths. Officers learn in training that a person with a gun in hand can lift, point, and shoot at an officer or others before officers can react. Anyone who has a gun, officers learn, poses a potential threat unless and until that person is separated from the weapon.
Ultimately, it is difficult for an officer to know whether a person with a gun is a good guy with a gun or a bad guy with a gun. Bradford’s death is a reminder that more guns are not the answer to gun violence.

That sucks.
You don’t know?
1. Target practice.
2. Hunting
3. Cradle them while having macho fantasies about stopping bad guys. LOL.
Those are the ONLY 3 things and not necessarily in that order.
Perfect! Every time most of you clowns post about guns I know how much you belong in South Dakota or Kansas. Enjoy!

You arrogant piece of shit....fuck you.
Nearly 25 states’ policies allow schools or districts to give permission to “individuals” to carry guns:
- Alaska
- Arizona
- Connecticut
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Mississippi
- Montana
- Nevada
- Ohio
- Rhode Island
- South Carolina
- Texas
- New Jersey
- New York
- Utah
- Vermont
- West Virginia
So wait, you’re not from Kansas or South Dakota? But isn’t that how you guys have the senate? Because the 10 dipshits like you who live in those places have as many votes for senator as people in New York and California?
You guys?
Fuckin' punk, New York is on the list that allow guns on school campuses.
Read the Constitution, perhaps then you won't come off as an 16 year old.
Oh yeah, the idiot who wants teachers to carry guns, when I point out how no civilized country would do that, starts with the constitution. LOL. The well-regulated militia, you mean? Are those the kids, or just the teachers? Get a clue. Welcome to California, dude. Or are you in Ventucky? Close enough, right?

These guys should go live in that near the middle of the country state, in that city with all the gun control laws that keep the bad guys from shooting people. I heard it's really safe there in the Windy City... really safe for guys like Messy.

Sure thing tough guy.
My daughter was recruited by a school not far from the city with "the toughest gun control" laws in the nation. She passed on it. Smart kid.
