Scofflaw with a broken tail light is taught a lesson

would those men be treated the same if they carry those guns in public.

it depends
if I was at a Walmart and saw two lines available at the checkout counters
one line had a white skinhead looking dude in line #1 vs a black guy wearing a suit/tie in line #4....
and they were both wearing guns
there is no doubt I choose the line with the black guy
if it's a thug looking black guy with jeans half way down his ass vs a white guy in suit/tie
there is no doubt which line I choose....I choose the line with the white guy
is that kind of instant impulse decision always accurate?
no....but we live by the odds on many choices in life

Of course, we can assume that neither Mr Skinhead with a gun nor Rico, played by Michael Thomas in a suit with a gun caused the slightest disturbance. No one was shot, pistol whipped, threatened or otherwise bothered. So your decision to judge these two by their haircuts, race and apparel was preetty much a waste of time, since it really made no difference.

  Do you mean the dead guy would be deader if he had had a weapon?

   

[sirs]

That is not how it went a-tall. sirs has the answer, Officer Slager had a BRAIN TUMOR.
\
Yessir, that's it, a brain tumor, thass ekzackly what he had!

Idiocy on grand display.  You just can't read for squat can you.  You have your mind made up on something specific, and everything has to be bent to fit that narrative (in this case, that sirs believes that a brain tumor caused the officer to act as he did).  The brain tumor crack was simply analogous to the non-existent officer must have been racist crap

[sirs]

it was brought up here before and I`ll form it into a question.

if two men of both races who are legally allowed to carry a gun in public in whatever state that allows it. would those men be treated the same if they carry those guns in public. note those men will be apart so one cannot vouch for the other.

Regardless of race, its a BAD idea to carry you weapon openly.  It defeats the purpose of the effectiveness of a CCW.  Open carry paints a HUGE target on you, for the bad guy.  The bad guy knows precisely who he's going to shoot 1st with his concealed weapon, if he has intentions of doing such harm.  So, in general, I'd opine that carrying guns openly in public, is a bad idea, regardless of race. 

But to address the question, IF they were legal to carry their firearm openly, I would have no problem with anyone's race.  If they're walking around, doing whatever it is that they're doing, and they have visible sidearm, and they're not causing any kind of a rukus, nor have they been approached by any law enforcement, I treat them both the same way....as in they are either off duty law enforcement, or they're legal to openly carry gun owners.  Race not mattering, what-so-ever

(in this case, that sirs believes that a brain tumor caused the officer to act as he did).

"Brain tumors may affect your cognition, which is your ability to think, reason, and remember.
Many people with brain tumors have problems with these kinds of cognition skills as well:
Concentration, Language skills. Memory"

hehe......oh absolutely that's a "possibility".  Minus any facts of the events that led to that moment, just as much a possibility as him having shot the man, because the officer was racist.  Yet the professor seems to embracing one scnario while pfft'ing the other

[Christians4LessGvt]

Of course I have no idea whether the police officer's brain tumor played
into his terrible decision to shoot a guy in the back running away from him.

[Christians4LessGvt]

He certainly didn't deserve to die, but the guy the police officer shot had a
warrant our for his arrest and he had been arrested about 10 times previously.

[sirs]

I can understand why he'd was running away from the police now (and NO, xo, that doesn't justify him being shot or killed.  We're just addressing various facts, being presented, as I was not aware of any arrest warrant)

Since most people's house never burns down it is pretty much a waste of time having fire insurance! 

[Xavier_Onassis]

So choosing the checkout like is the same thing as buying fire insurance?

[Xavier_Onassis]

In all the Western movies, everyone carries their gun where  everyone can see it.  It's the Code of the West.

sirs is against "The Code of the West".. The Ghost of Charleton Heston is gonna swoop down and revoke his NRA membership.

[Christians4LessGvt]

So choosing the checkout like is the same thing as buying fire insurance?

Yes in the sense of avoiding a bad result.
Avoiding certain lines at a store could avoid a rare but possible bad event.
Paying for fire insurance could avoid a rare but possible bad event.
We make those kind of split decisions all day every day.
Would the event be likely to happen?
Probably not....but why not try to make the best logical choice given multiple choices?
I don't buy a lot in the ghetto and build a nice big new house...because I want to avoid a possible bad event.
I don't walk around in downtown Dallas at 3AM wearing jewelry because I want to avoid a possible bad event.
I don't refuse to buy fire insurance on my house knowing a fire will probably never burn down my house!

Good for you!

You are obviously a genius.

I am glad people cannot wear guns in Florida.

Too bad Texas is so dangerous these dorks need to packing heat.
