One of the men goes for her phone. The other grabs at her hands. Ozturk screams. Shock and fear ripple through her voice. Two masked women join them, tugging at her backpack, peeling the straps from her shoulders. “I’m going somewhere, I need to call someone,” she pleads. “We’re the police. Relax,” one of the men says in response.
They surround her. Then, one by one, they pull their neck gaiters up to cover their faces. “You don’t look like police,” a voice off screen says. “Why are you hiding your faces?” The questions continue, but the figures don’t respond. Instead, they cuff Ozturk, cross the street, and put her in an unmarked SUV. She is gone.
This is a fantastic way to get cops shot and killed in the street. Please, PLEASE try this shit in Oakland or Los Angeles I am begging you.
Exactly, if I’m getting approached and they aren’t identifying themselves…. Guns are coming out. Fuck that game
There really is a strong argument for minorities to carry.
Worst case scenario you just end up with stricter gun laws.
Historically speaking, the only way gun restrictions get passed in the US is due to skin color…
Attempted and successful presidential assassinations have also historically precipitated the strengthening of gun laws.
I kinda doubt there’s many people carrying guns in Oakland California or LA…
Either Oakland has changed wildly in a very short time or you have no idea what you’re talking about.
