Thoughts on this?

Is this the thread where a bunch of middle class white guys tell us what it's like to deal with the police as a minority?

Here’s body cam video. Its a dude getting shot so if you don’t want to see that then don’t watch.

So apparently the story is that a neighbor heard loud video games and thought there was some sort of domestic disturbance and called the cops. Cop knocks on the door, announces himself, guy opens the door with a gun in his hand, doesn’t seem to be pointing it at the cop, and cop just blasts him.

Genuinely curious what all the gun nuts think about this. If a representative of the state can shoot you simply for holding a gun in your hand, then do you actually have the “right to bear arms?” Would shootings like this happen if cops didn’t have to be so on edge that pretty much everyone they engage with could have a gun on them?

Murder. Jesus, that was tough to watch.
