        It's Open Carry if you're White. It's brandishing if you're Black. I thought everyone understood that by now.

        So when do the rioters have a news conference to apologize for jumping to conclusions?

        Sadly after the incident caught on tape in SC where the police officer planted a gun, many will not believe this.

        He was wearing a vest that said POLICE in big letters and was with other officers. Mentioned in the press conference.

        I mean I didn't know him personally but unless he was a maniac it just doesn't make sense that he'd threaten law enforcement...

        Not complying is seen as threatening, esp if you have a gun. Cops don't know your motives and have to guess in an instant.
