<description>&lt;p&gt;Bingo,

The person you quoted was being SARCASTIC. NO ONE here agrees with you.

You really think it was ok for him to shoot at the cops after they asked him to drop the weapon he was running through the streets with? You seem to be ignoring this fact.

You act like the cops muster up and plan &quot;Let&apos;s kill black people!&quot; 

It&apos;s frightening how retarded you are.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;#1 People with any sliver of people skills would know that firing at cops is the same as digging your own grave. Why you would try to group everyone together based on color and not how stupid or smart each of the victims were is beyond me and probably the rest of the cognitional readers here.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;If you&apos;re running down the street with a gun in your hand, it doesn&apos;t really matter to anyone which direction you&apos;re running.  One less Darwin award to be handed out,  next!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;yes cops have no right shooting at any criminal, no matter how violent, that is black. Blacks should be placed on a pedestal and we must be careful not to step on their toes lest we incur their wrath. I hope someone told Sharpton about this! &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;bingo,

Thanks for letting me know that 39 shitbags have been properly disposed of by the men and women of the NYPD.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I don&apos;t care what their race is, or what direction they are running.  If someone shoots at the cops, they are within their rights to fire back.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;You shoot at cops, they shoot back. That&apos;s how it is.

Don&apos;t get pissy because there are more of them and they&apos;re better shots.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Where does it say the suspect was a &quot;person of color&quot;?  He may or may not be, but it&apos;s odd that you&apos;d automatically assume that.

The guy had a gun and was shooting at cops.  How else do you expect the cops to react?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, the man allegedly didn&apos;t stop and drop his weapon when they asked him--instead, he fired.  You can&apos;t run around the streets holding a gun--I&apos;d expect the police to ask anyone running with a gun in his/her hands to drop it.  We&apos;ll see when more details come out about the shooting.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
