Who needs to justify a BB gun though? Is it illegal to have one? If so, why are they being sold?

it was race based.... the white couple called the cops due to racial stereotypes... wth are you saying. If it was as crazy as these racist claimed it to be... they wouldnt have even needed to call the police because the commotion would have alerted walmart and its employees to which they probably wouldve got law enforcement involved.@ you OP.
Toy gun my ***. This kid was looney as ****. Deserve to die? Probably not, but the picture you painted in the OP was waaaayyyy off. This is less a race thing and more mismanagement by cops. Sick of everyone trying to ignite race talk and point fingers at people, races or stereotypes...And then wonder why nothing changes.
This thread should be locked.
So that right there pokes holes in this whole he was running rampant around in the store waving a gun threatening customers... I mean really a dude waving a gun around pretending to shoot ppl in a store of walmart magnitude and no one not an employee saw this.. and no other ppl were alarmed or scared... and it took a middle age white lady to find the courage and what... sneak off and call the police? lol im sorry that sounds redic....
um ok thats emphasized for what... i mean the story and accounts of a racist... to which the party being stereotyped is dead... and in 2014 no one has a video of this...lol um okI guess people just skipped over this

from what I personally see black on black crime is always swept under the rugWe won't have the same outrage because we've been having the same outrage for 50 years!!.. The government has shown CLEARLY that they don't give a **** about black on black violence. Their has been hundreds of marches, hundreds of cease fire organizations, hundreds of parents with deceased children who have met with politicians... The results are the same... government in America doesn't give a **** about stopping black on black crime, because it's profitable for them.
So when we are protesting and up in arms about police, it's because these are "supposed" to be the people we rely on when those black on black crimes are going down, their supposed to be able to intervene & protect.... instead they are doing the same activities as the criminals except they have legal immunity to do whatever the **** they want and get away with it.
Dudes kill me with this revisionist ****, talkin about why don't black people have a problem with black on black violence.... WE DO, unlimited hours, resources, and attempts have been made to stop it, Nobody outside of the black community Cares!!
I was gonna say. Arent the BB guns packaged up in boxes and plasticView media item 1126412

If the underlined portions are true, then son was wildin. They also said that he was poimting thegun at people/children thatwere walking by. I definitely want to know what took place between the time the coos arrived and when he was shot. There has to be surveillance footage.

by its own community
a person can know exactly who the killer is
but wont step up just because in the black community being labeled
a snitch is a major offense
so dont give me that countless BS about what people do about black on black crime
i see no marches no peacfull protest or any of that going on
and you say no one outside the community doesnt care but the community should care first
we kill each other for petty **** on the daily and dont value our own or each others
life but expect someone else to ok

Walmart is a toy store now? He opened up the toy in the store, in a public place and thought that was ok? Why is a grown man walking around pointing it at people? Common sense has to be used sometimes in a society where we as blacks are being killed for the smallest things
Does Walmart not have a large section that sells toys... was he not holding a toy gun?
did he shoot anyone with this toy gun?
Is it very possible that this talk of him pointing the gun at people is a lie?
Even if he did point the Toy gun at people did he deserve to be shot down by officers?
I Am so ****** sick and tired of this ******** excuse of you know how we our treated by the cops etc etc..... I KNOW that cops don't have a licence to kill you because of stereotypes, I KNOW that cops who are scared of black people shouldn't be given an option to brandish weapons at black people.
Stop with the ******** deflecting, How can you honestly sit here with a straight face and say that the cops reacted correctly by killing a man who posed no threat. Unless your willing to sit here and tell me that somehow cops actually believed this man was walking around Walmart with an Assault Rifle, while talking on the phone, and not shooting a bullet at all.
Also do you HONESTLY believe that if this was a white man walking around with a Toy gun the cops would have shot first then asked questions?
thats not even my point you showed up to me and his covo latePleas stop with the Black on Black crime BULLS***
Where are the White on White crime stats? Asian on Asian crime? Latino on Latino?
"In Mexico Mexican on Mexican crime is at an all time high!" You see how stupid that looks/sounds.
Homicides overwhelmingly happen among people who know each other.

nah bruhYou mean that's the only time it gets news coverage, right?
NBC news did a special about
chicago shoot 82 people over the 4th of July
weekend not one protest happened wasnt no pictures on social media
or any of that but let a story like this happen and all of a sudden your upset
but wont have this same outrage when it happens in your own community
by a person that has the same skin color
so lemme get this straight....
-man goes to store
-man buys toy gun that looks like a real gun
-man walks around same store pointing toy gun that looks like real gun at random strangers
-people get concerned and call the authorities
-police arrive, ask man to put down his toy gun that looks like a real gun
-man refuses
-man get shot and dies
and yall trippin? cmon. Im aware of all the situations that been happening lately, but this one doesnt fit those molds.
The cops dont know if that gun is real or not. They are responding to a distress call. And why didnt he drop
the toy gun when they asked him too? whats the point of refusing? This is not a racial thing, this is just somebody
not thinking clearly and ultimately paid the price by losing their life.
ok I understand thatMy point is that crime in the community is a problem and it’s true that the majority of black murder victims are murdered by blacks, but the same holds true for whites: Most whites are murdered by whites. And in both cases, this race statistic is not available for all murders, but only ones where the race of both perpetrator and victim can be determined. So why when it comes to Black people do we have to label it Black on Black but other races its just considered crime?
I understand where you're coming from but the video surveillance will show whether he was walking around with it or he stayed in one place. And the whole "if he was white it would have ended differently" is still speculation.. Once again we don't see a news article often on here where a white guy is killed by cops. Also we need to know the time frame from when the cops told him to put the gun down and what his reaction was when told to do so
social media activist =/= real protest the old fashioned wayFALSE. As a Chicagoan, it was all up and down my social media page when it happened. Dont say black on black crime doesn't spark as much outrage as _ on black crimes when it does.
its hard to bring in the idea of "common sense" when a man is walking around the largest discount retail store chain with a mock assault rifle.This just doesn't make sense on the cops part... even if he had the gun in his hands were there people in Walmart running from him, was he pointing it in someones face? acting aggressive with it?
If the video comes out and he's simply pointing the gun around, why was it okay for the cops initial reaction to shoot him, simple logic would say that if they received a call about a guy with a gun and said man is walking amongst people in Walmart without causing them panic, Talking on the phone, and walking as if nothing he's doing is illegal.
common sense would make it seem pretty obvious that this man wasn't out to hurt someone with an assault rifle.
i would buy that if ppl (in particular white ppl) go INTO places with REAL GUNS ie restaurants, etc... and how often do we here oh we was so scared he/she was gonna shoot us so we called the police and the cops came and gunned them down?The point is you dressed this story up to get posters riled up. Now everyone is going back and forth on minutiae. There's too many drama ****** on NT who will still make this out to be something it's not, simply because the impression they got by the thread title and then your OP. It's sickening to me. You're way off base with this. It's like people WANT there to be racism so that you can get mad about something.
I don't care what ******* color you are. If you have a BB gun out of it's packaging in a goddamn Wal-Mart, somebody, if not most of everybody will have some degree of discomfort. Waving it around or not. And then he doesn't cooperate when the police are involved? I mean, that's one issue, but the race card...Like I said...I'm sick of the jump to conclusions.
By the way...I used to KILL small animals with BB guns. The fact that it's still being referred to as a toy is stupid.
social media activist =/= real protest the old fashioned way
true it can be used as a tool to get the word out but how many people actually care beyond
