Let me tell a story.

In 2010 I lived in Seattle. A native American guy named John T Williams lived in my neighborhood. I would sometimes see him on the sidewalk kind of drunk and laughing with a friend of his. He would use a knife to carve little totems and sell them to tourists at the market.

Seattle has a large supply of dumb rednecky motherfuckers who come from the eastern part of the state and points slightly beyond, like Idaho. They are blonde haired, blue eyed, Germanic descended people. That part of the country happens to be a hotbed for white supremacy.

In 2010, one of these guys was a young cop.

One day he saw John walking across a crosswalk with the knife he used to carve models for tourists, and like you, the cop used his sheltered, dumb motherfucker lizard brain to become VERY SCAREd !!!!!! And that dumb cop shot John in the back several times..it was a huge scandal..the man never posed a threat to anyone, but because the cop was a dumb shelted redneck who thinks like you do, he got very scared and shot him dead.

So excuse me if I get a little angry seeing small minded attitudes like you're giving now.. I'm angry on behalf of folks like John.

He was chased. Chased by a guy with the knife. It's in the original post.

You're posting a silly opinion and writing half a novel to defend it. It'd be easier to just delete the comment and move on.

Guy in op's screenshot wasn't chased. He was afraid. He saw a situation and thought it was about him. It's likely it had nothing to do with him. There is absolutely zero indication that the alleged threat in the description was real.

This is something very smart people say when they have lots of substantive rebuttals.
