But in your first sentence you clarified this is okay. No change will happen until you, and every other American, change that thinking.

You don’t understand why a cop killed a kid in a country that will do backflips in order to find justification for said violence?

It’s only one small step from advocacy of a taser to advocacy of a gun.
