A white cop with a gun. A stop. A black man, who may have a gun? A Fear of guns. A Fear of the black man. Guns, guns everywhere. Death, everywhere.

Melt the guns, melt the fear, kill the deaths by guns and by fear of the GUN.

This is systemic. Been happening for years without cameras. Cops used to get awards and commendations for this shit and still do if nobody is filming. Black people know this. Everyone else can pretend it is a rare thing and give us lectures on politeness and MLK.

Stupid people who think it's rare do all the talking and arguing. Some of the rest of us are just dumbfounded at how grotesque and horrifying that this crap is going on every single day in America.

How to live in a police state. When you watch the police apprehending professional criminals, those guys know what to do. We don't. We get shot because we are amateurs. There are two kinds of people, my friend. Those who have been arrested and those who haven't (yet). And if you're going to survive, you're gonna have to learn how to get arrested.
