Armed citizens confront the police: nothing.

Unarmed citizens confront the police: beaten, gassed.

"Those white people in Michi-"

Who said anything about Michigan? I& #39;m talking about the Huey Newton Gun Club in Dallas, Texas.

"if Black people protest with guns they& #39;ll be shot"

Cops are racist. They& #39;re not stupid. They hunted down the Black Panthers in retaliation, but they wouldn& #39;t fire on them when they protested.

They don& #39;t do shit when people can shoot back.

Standoff in Phoenix. Police are armed. Protesters are not. Guarantee as soon as the police start some violence the protesters will magically turn into "violent rioters."
