Another police involved shooting of a black man. The odd part was that the guy had a job as a barber and was carrying a gun holstered with two mags which is not typical of a gangster which it clearly shows in the body cam footage. It is not confirmed but it is said he had a permit for it. The odd part was he was questioned by police but ran and was shot when he put his hand on the gun. Why would he run if he was legit? Odd shooting but no need to protest after seeing footage.

We had three more KC MO police officers shot today. I do not know their conditions at this time. Perp is dead!!
We have had 5 officers killed in less than two years in our area. This is not Chicago. This has to stop.
Life is sacred, but when you are armed and don't listen, expect the worst.

What people don't seem to understand anymore, is that when an LEO tells you to do something it's NOT a suggestion, but an ORDER, and one that he/she is gives with the full authority of the government. Yes, they may be wrong. But at the time the order is given is NOT the time or place to debate it. That's what judges and courts are for. What's so hard to understand about this????

He had a FOI (?) card, but not a carry permit: two different things. Basically, he could own the gun, but not concealed carry.

Woods Walker. I agree, it's pretty simple. Just listen.

Heard on the radio this morning a protest demonstrator explain the shooting this way. I’m paraphrasing, but this is the BS essence of his explanation. “He told the police he was carrying a gun. The police told him to take the gun out and when he reached for the gun, they shot him.” Hmm . . . . taking it (gun) out while he was running from the police? Hardly in compliance with the police request and since when did police start asking detainees to disarm themselves? Laughable that the news media even gives this air time.

I just got to survive two more facility inspections this month and I will have made it through all 30 Chicago facilities I got for the year. Then I can be assured to make my Wyoming deer hunt this fall!
