Update: while others had guns drawn, black guy had gun drawn while being black, heightened state of
panicthreat."Mr Bradford's family cited witnesses as saying that he had been trying to help by waving people to safety."

GOP hate group still silent on shooting. 2nd Amendment still only for white folk.

well while undoubtedly racism is part of their appeals to sell guns for protection, there's not a lot of any kind of potential for them in pointing to the story of a "good guy with a gun" who got shot and killed by police because he had a gun. They would only want to promote the stories where the gun slinger survives, no?
That said, I found this story especially tragic precisely because this was literally a "gung ho, law and order" family. Not only was it that He had a concealed weapon permit for the gun he was carrying that day, Crump said. but here's dad, according to your initial article at the top of the page
Basically here the thin blue line crew turned against it's own by racially profiling. And then the department doesn't even treat it as a tragic mistake but just tries to cover ass.

Like duh, something happened so they shot the nearest black guy - how tough is that even for Bama types to figure out? or is it they're starting to figger out there's aa problem with that M.O. Progress moves awful damn slow in the South.

It’s not just the South. This shooting was in Milwaukee. The police said the unarmed man was reaching for a gun hidden behind an air conditioning vent. The DA said the shooting was justified.

This comes on the heels of Chicago police killing a black security guard who apprehended a shooting suspect.

When a Dallas police officer shot and killed Botham Shem Jean while he was in his own apartment, the then DA, a black female Republican, the officer was charged with manslaughter. The newly elected Democrat will look into whether murder is the more appropriate charge.

There is very little reason to trust the legal system in dealing with police abuses.
