If you pull a gun on a cop, Darwinism applies. Yet there are still extenuating circumstances in every encounter.
There have certainly been standoffs with black suspects who had guns pulled that ended without the suspect getting shot. And there are certainly cases where white suspects with guns have been killed.
A guy with a gun yelling "get off my property" (black or white) is a much different circumstance than chasing a suspect who may have just committed a violent crime down a dark alley. Both situations are threatening to the cop, but to different degrees. And there are also different amounts of time to make a decision about whether to shoot or not in each case.
So again.....saying a black suspect would definitely be shot and a white one wouldn't is not only incorrect, but is also divisive.
