The original message on the 4th panel of today's offering was "Reason NOT to shoot: If the suspect is white."
Yes, I know. In the past two months we have seen two different black individuals murdered by police while holding toy guns in a non-threatening manner, but it's pretty clear that the police will shoot anyone for any reason. "Death by cop" is second only to "death by intimate partner" in Utah, a state that's 88% white.
If the domestic constabulary is so afraid that every American might shoot first you'd kinda think that the police unions would be the first in line to argue for strict gun control, but it's clearly not their decision to make. Someone(s) much more powerful have decided America is better off in the chaos of gun ownership rather than the relative peace of a gun-free populace... as in every other industralized nation. (A strong argument that America is every bit the banana republic it appears.)�
