That's the problem here as folks are afraid to look at stuff like this
because it will "stress them out". Shouldn't it be "line on water" by now?

Minnesota, Wisconsin, same state. One has more cheese, the other, more
lakes. Your hypothesis that had he not been carrying a gun , he would
still be alive, maybe, but not necessarily so to BLM.
If you watch the video it's pretty clear that he reached for his
wallet or ID while telling the cop that he has a gun. Yeah, it sounds
insane but it's pretty clear from the videos that I've seen. One
problem here is that marijuana was also found in the car. No big deal
but might be partially responsible for his *decision making*, reaching
for an ID while announcing he has a gun.As I said, not a smart move.
In states that have open or concealed carry laws, the moment you are
approached by a cop, it is your responsibility to *first* announce to
the officer that you have a license to carry and that you are carrying
a weapon. At that point, the cop is aware of your weapon ( no
surprises )and will give further instruction on how he intends to
proceed. Usually they ask "where is your weapon"? They may want to
disarm you before doing anything else, just for safety sake.

My guess is that had the guy in Minnesota (not Wisconsin) not been
carrying a gun he would still be alive. More guns do not make people
safer. When he told the cop he carried a gun, that spooked the cop,
who went on super-alert and overreacted. (I have read or seen nothing
that says he said "I have a gun" while reaching for his wallet. It
doesn't sound like something any sane person would say and do at the
same time in the presence of a cop.)

The cop in Wisconsin or where ever it was, obviously over reacted and
had bad training. Unfortunately, the only thing the black guy could
have done differently was, tell the cop he had a gun and a license to
carry *before* reaching for his wallet, which the cop had asked for.
Reaching for your wallet while saying "I have a gun" was not smart.
But the cop gave conflicting instructions and over reacted. Bad
training on his part! No racism here. A tragic incident.
Baton Rouge is a different story. The guy had threatened a store owner
with a gun earlier or may have just shown the store owner his gun.
Police were aware he may be armed. They were in a position to taser
the guy if they felt threatened. As I recall, the guy resisted arrest
and a take down ensued.They were way too quick to shoot this guy fro!
m what I've seen so far. The police pulled a gun from his pocket which
they undoubtedly will say he was reaching for. I don't think his
shooting was justified either.

What about the two shootings last couple of days that precipitated
this? Cops being judge, jury and executioner? Shall we disarm
everyone including the cops? Knee jerk reactions are not solutions.
