Again? Already?


Yesterday I wrote about a video we saw on TV of a police officer executing a helpless African-American as he lay pinned to the ground. That happened on Tuesday. On Wednesday it happened again in another state. A young black man, apparently a model citizen, was executed by a police officer in front of his girlfriend and her young daughter, all of this caught on streaming video by the girlfriend. The dead man had a permit to carry a gun, for all the good that does. My wife noted that black people have learned to turn  the video on the instant an officer approaches them. That way they can record the deaths of one another. 


From yesterday:

"The white to bear arms is a fundamental American principle. We were reminded of this on television today. We watched two videos of several police officers pinning a black man to the ground, holding his arms, and then someone noticed that the black man had a gun in his pocket, so they shot him, killed him as he lay there on his back. The Second Amendment doesn’t apply to African-Americans."
