alot of you all know me . met me. Fished with me, I'm not the thug like what you see on TV. . Im Great guy awesome dad. Etc.

But The 1 thing you all will never understand or experience is the color my skin and how I'm looked at regardless of how good i am, dad, loves his kid fishing, working hard etc.

If you keep it simple and look at it that way youll understand but at the end of the day you can't that a fact. I'd say.... but carry one...

True story.

I'm a cop I was at work and in class C uniform and someone ( driver on the interstate) called the cops on me , Said there is a black man holding a gun... (Holstered gun) on the interstate.
I was at work watching inmates cut grass on the over pass.
Luckily I had a radio and was able to cancel every body buy by the time I noticed what was happening. They had 4 cops approaching me.

we can see from your perspective you are right about that, but lets say you were not a cop, say you were just the regular upstanding citizen you are, if the cops were called on you and you had a gun the cops tell you get on the ground, what do you do, tell them no and fuss with them? or get on the ground?

I've had many encounters with LE while packing. I open carry so it's obvious to a trained eye. Rarely am I questioned about it and when I am I make it clear that I'm not a threat. When you're carrying a gun your body language will tell LE more than what you speak. It's really simple. Hands out front be respectful and if asked for ID ask the officer to remove your wallet from your back pocket. Especially if its on your gun side. He is nervous too and wants to go home to his family. Think and it will be a smooth event for both.

Never met you but from what I know about you on here you are a great guy. Not saying it did or didn't have anything to do with the color of your skin but there is a lot of stupid, scared people out there when guns are involved. I've run into a few myself.

Was waiting for you to post..............you are correct, we cannot understand it.........period............that also means to some extent we cannot be the ones solely responsible for fixing it either.

You and our other non Caucasian friends here are treated with the utmost respect the you damn well have earned and deserve. I am often jealous of your and C's post.

A guy like this Sterling guy is the one that tarnishes all the great people of color who honor and respect themselves, their freedom and their fellow man.

When we see "Black lives matter" running around with their pants on the ground, bottle of Vodka in their hand, laughing and living a party at the expense of a dead man, we don't understand.


When the leaders of the black community take "lead" as opposed to taking advantage of a tragedy they will get listened to and respected.

Soooooo many people exploit this for their own accord, having no real agenda or care in the world about the person.

While NO ONE deserves to be shot down for no cause, No one should get a free pass on a life time of poor, stupid and down right selfish decision making.

HE put himself in that situation when one, he had a gun as a habitual convicted felon, he pointed that gun a innocent people, and three he fought the law over standing down and paying the price for yet another stupid decision.

I feel for ALL of our community, all races, all social economic states, and genders and all sexual preferences.

We have allowed our politicians to absolutely corrupt generations of young people.

convincing them there is boogie man out to get them.

My grandfathers generation taught us indeed there was a boogie man..........and that boogie man is you/me.ourselves

Today everyone is looking for an excuse to be a moron. Situational ethics and situational morality...........

You want social justice?? Demand social responsibility.


None of this is directed at you personally as I know your thoughts are genuine as well.
