Holy fuck this is disgusting and just the other day someone was trying to tell me that people don’t need to be armed because of the color of their skin, gender, or sexuality.

in fairness, i am kind of skeptical that being armed will really help you against the literal, actual cops, particularly if you're a minority in this kind of situation. maybe it'd act as a preemptive deterrent—but if it doesn't they'd then have pretext to murder you, and they'd probably get away with it.
