Although he's white, so this should probably go into the police transgression thread we had before.
Agreed about the red herring angle. Just didn't want to make it look like I was hiding or ignoring the fact there was a weapon in this case.

Also, with the thread title including oppression, I figured this was still the best place for it. But point conceded.
