@BBCBreaking This shouldn't be being turned into a race debate - any personal of any race wielding a gun will get shot!
@pervlens @BBCBreaking don't say that!!!!
@tom_peters1 @BBCBreaking Hmmm I will say that (I did) you wave a gun around. You (and everyone else) should FULLY expect to get shot! #fact
@pervlens @tom_peters1 @BBCBreaking shot, maybe. Executed? Shows a lack of skill or training on part of policemen.

@jacktink @BBCBreaking that what the police officer said. What if he isn't telling the truth?
@mawanamtwa What if there were multiple surveillance cameras outside the gas station backing up the officer's story? which there are
