It's unwritten. Everyone knows it is suicide for a black man to open-carry in public. I would never attempt this ****. That guy could have been killed.
This country has never been equal and probably never will be.
The world is not equal. Equality is a concept, not a reality.
Oregon is an open carry state.
Both men are legally carrying their AR-15s in public.
Can you guess what happens next?
Proof its same town? Same County? Same State? Is black guy KNOWN to police? Hell I am surprised the cops didn't murder him and his pregnant wife/gf? Either way proof of nothing more than 1 cop didn't over react and one did 2 totally different cops in what looks like 2 totally different areas of the same state? Try doing this test again with SAME cop in SAME town. Then we will see. MAYBE the black guy was in a high crime area that's known for crime?
If he was I would be a hell of a lot more suspicious and used to crime involving a gun there than in a low crime area....ya know COMMON SENSE. Again there is no proof of pretty much anything.
It's true that the gun carriers were deliberately trying to provoke a reaction. It's also true that each cop chose to take the bait. And I bet if you repeated this social experiment enough times to draw a statistically meaningful conclusion, you would find that most of the time, the reaction to the white guy would be calmer than the reaction to the black guy.

Even if it was an experiment, it definitely shows there is a heightened level of discomfort at the end of the day when it come to a Black man owning a gun. It shows even if laws have changed, opinions have not.

What crime? They need reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime to detain him.

I agree I am just saying maybe that's why supercop there reacted like someone was murdered....neither guys open carrying did anything wrong...some cops are just punks that were bullied in school who become cops to get that power back and are scared when someone with a gun is near them even in a non threatening manner.
