To Drunk But Otherwise Innocent-Black Man

If in your sleepy & drunk state, you do grab his TASER before he does do what he threatened - taser you - keep running. Do not look back.

I do not condone the death of an "otherwise innocent black man", Anil, yet I also do not condone the behaviour of those who disrespect and disobey the law. As we well know, a tiny spark is enough to start a fire! ~ Regards & Peace // paul
