[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 2255119, member: 6406"] Saying the law is "racist" is an oversimplification. It could have been passed with the very best of intentions, and it probably was, and still affect people of different races differently. OOOOOKAY I'm not sure how you're getting any of that from my posts but whatever. My point is that SYG laws, as most of them are currently written, hinge on the perception of law enforcement at the scene. I don't like that, because it's pretty easy to see how racial bias colors people's perceptions. I'm not saying that people are consciously thinking "that negro done murdered that guy, negros always shootin people" but it does happen at a subconscious level. I would like to see a rubric written into the law that classifies a good or bad shoot. Objective criteria should help take all the fuzzy stuff like perception and bias out of it. Granted, I have no idea what that would be. [/QUOTE]
