    Just received this from his family "He was home from basic about to get deployed to his permanent duty station.He was so proud he enlisted as we are a heavily enlisted family. His father was a decorated marine and now ironically works for the you guessed it, police department. "https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1066317381302132736 …

    My God. American police just killed another "good guy with a gun." Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr., better known as EJ, the son of a police officer, was an active duty officer for the Army, home for Thanksgiving. Murdered by police yesterday in a mall shooting in Alabama. pic.twitter.com/xHsiOPUD5y

        For starters, I want to see @CNN @NBCNews @FoxNews @CBSNews @ABC and all of the other news outlets put this out there with the same frequency (if not more) that they trashed him yesterday.

        The fallacy of " good guy with a gun" ; The police do not ask questions when they see a black man with a gun; they shoot. The security guard shot and killed by police after he stopped an active shooter in Chicago is another prime example;

        Don't American police receive basic gun and law-enforcement training? I'm not being facetious but it seems unbelievable how many law-abiding, upstanding (black) people are shot dead by police.

        Lots of police departments are being sent to Israel to be trained by its military and taught to see us as the enemy. Police are equipped with military equipment as a way to get around posse comitatus. This is wrong on every level!

        I often go at least two or three days without seeing any news or social media. I do this because I NEED to in order to preserve my sanity. Inevitably, someone says, “Did you hear...?” and I dive back in...Today, it was this story. How are we not all on antidepressants ?!

        I’ve taken a few extended breaks, too. Up until the end of 2016, this wasn’t necessary. Yes, there was bad news, but not to this extent on a daily basis. How do we stay informed while still nurturing our hearts and soulspic.twitter.com/0UHpJaDzQW

        First, stay off of social media when you need to. It's fake. People say things to each other here they would never say in real life. Second, get your news from a variety of sources. It's not all bad, even though it seems that way. Finally, get outside, hug a puppy, enjoy the sun.

        It appears he was a "good guy with a gun" during a mall shooting incident, and police shot him, thinking he was the perpetrator... Then they lied about it, claiming he opened fire on officers...before coming clean.https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/24/us/alabama-mall-hoover-shooting/index.html …
