NOT the Only Ones

I thank my good friends at “Shoot Straight” who realized that the hero’s gun was taken as evidence and immediately gave him a brand new firearm. Above all, I thank the hero that recognized the imminent threat, rushed to Deputy Bardes’ aid, and ultimately stopped that threat. In a day and age where race is a near instant focus for media and other pundits in police incidents, the fact is that this hero happens to be a man of color who stopped another man of color from further harming or killing a white cop; thereby reminding us that black lives matter, blue lives matter, and indeed all life matters.

And that last bit is something mainstream "news" outlets don't seem all that eager to point out.

We talked about this on Armed American Radio the other night, and I posited fear of the personal consequernces of shooting an"unarmed" black assailant may have made the officer hestiate enough to let the attacker get the upper hand.
