SWB: Shopping While Black

[Condunum]

You'd think the title is a joke, but it's not.

22 year old John Crawford was shot and killed by police, in an Ohio Walmart store.
Video

His crime? Shopping for an air gun in the store. His sentence? Death by cop.

Basically, a racist fuckwit called the police because he saw a black man with the audacity to consider purchasing a wal-mart product. Is he certainly racist? No, maybe he's just really, really fucking stupid. Like, really stupid.

Thoughts, NSG? Should the dumbass who called the police face time for this?

No.

[Condunum]

The best part is that if he was white, Ritchie would have probably just considered him a patriotic american defending his second amendment right by open carrying. Because if you're white, you can carry weapons in a wal-mart. But fuck me, don't let that n_gger touch the air guns.

No.

Misuse of police resources is a crime. I'm also going to expect he's gonna get sued for everything he owns.

With a side of fuck strips dipped in fuck marmalade topped with fuck sprinkles
this is so damn wrong I can't express how wrong it is.

It doesn't make sense why the police shot him. One dude calling the police for no reason is one thing, but why did they shoot him?

According to the article, the man who called the police felt threatened because the man pointed an air gun (Which apparently looked like a real gun) at random people. If he felt threatened, he should damn well have the right to call the police.

However, he shouldn't have been gunned down at all. That was horrible of the police to do. It's the police's fault; not the man who called them.

Well it's just as the Founding Fathers intended. They only have access to 3/5s of the Constitution.

No one gave the same story. Only the Ritchie's phoned the police. No one else was threatened. The victim is not at fault, at all. he was fucking shopping.

I hate how the article suggests that Walmart stops selling guns all because some uneducated cops killed a customer.

"While the Ritchie’s claim that other shoppers felt threatened by Crawford, it appears that Ritchie was the only Walmart shopper to call 911."

Was it deliberate misuse with the intention to kill?

[Othelos]

What.

Have you read what is said on other news sites? The one you posted is blatantly anti-police. What I read is he opened the package the gun was in, then proceeded to walk around the store with it. Scaring other shoppers and then would not drop it when told to. It had nothing to do with his race.

The Ritchie's claimed other shoppers felt threatened, yet no other shoppers said they felt threatened, or phoned the police.

You have no proof of this.

[The Serbian Empire]

No, the cop on the other hand should face negligent homicide. He was dumb enough to think airsoft guns are real guns and killed a man over it in a Goram WalMart.

[Maurepas]

I think the guy who called the cops should get a fine. I think the cop who shot the man should be in jail.

[Polkopia]

Okay, so you're saying that, because nobody else called the police, nobody felt in the least bit threatened?

If someone pointed an object at me that looked like a real gun, I'd feel pretty threatened, honestly. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't, actually.

[Nickel Empire]

If I remember correctly, aren't the police suppose to say get down on the ground first and shoot later not shoot first and then say get on the ground?

Yeah, being a bit of a prick totally justifies killing someone for shopping.

Was Crawford wearing a hoodie?

Could have been a heat of the moment thing. Police officers are trained to react when someone is holding something that could be a gun, and he repeatedly refused to drop his air soft gun.
