I'm not offended by your ignorance, I'm just disappointed in it. Nice try to trying to deflect from your racism though.

Is it not true that African Americans are massively over-represented in crime figures......or was that some malicious factoid being spread around the interweb by them pesky white racists?
So, not irrational or "ignorant" (thanks for that).
However, I apologise if I have offended your delicate political sensibilities.

Yes, because you will do the dance dance revolution on him before he even gets close enough to use that taser. The preemptive self defense is a classic
Not fighting at all is much more efficient.
This is where parkour comes in. I can already visualize the massive eye-roll as you read this.

Yet more sadness brought upon by reading an article off of ATS I knew there was no reason to read. I'm addicted to nonsense......
Anyway, this is just going to keep happening more and more often as more and more people begin to arm themselves. Those numbers are going up in all concealed states, not dropping.

I think that kid that got 18 months should have stayed in longer, I don't know if the kind of person who would do that could really reform. But it's weird, I'm a dumb kid, same age, living in a really poor area with all the things a place like that tends to bring and I've never heard of this, thought of this, or saw anyone ever doing this.. are there more articles about it floating around?

And you would be right if that were the case, but unfortunately for you, you're not. He wasn't stating a fact, he was using a fact to make a generalization about a group of people. This shouldn't be hard to understand.edit on 28-8-2013 by technical difficulties because: (no reason given)
But he implied it with his "What a precious 14% of the US pop. they are." comment. Just because he didn't flat-out say all blacks are criminals, doesn't make it so. Perhaps you should try denying ignorance as well.

Its not hard to understand, he made a comment on the individual who committed the crime and talked about the statistics of violent crime and the race of those who commit those crimes. He did not say all blacks are criminals or anything even close to that.
Just because he didn't flat-out say all blacks are criminals, doesn't make it so.
“‘I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that, I’m high you know, I just wanna go home,’” the teen told the man who had just shot him.
A witness told police the man stayed by the teen and appeared supportive and non-threatening.

The problem is, like I stated in the OP, this is a common occurrence. Chances are this kid and his buddies have done this before.
Things are a lot different in the states (urban areas) than our cousins overseas think. It's shameful really.;

So you make your assassins creed get away when you see someone who MIGHT be a threat?
What the F****** HELL has gotten into the minds of these kids where things like this are 'Ok, as long you apologize'? The hell? They should have made an example out of him, but lord knows it would have been seen as either Police Brutality or they would have tried the guy who shot the gun. Man what the- I can't even mmmmmmmmmm Damn I'm mad.
