I know there are about 20+ states that have the open carry laws but this seems quite extreme with no one, especially the PD/Mayor etc refusing to do anything at all. And it's possible he may be an undercover rat. This is not a case of cops killing a black person this is a black person asking for the protection he pays for via his personal/business taxes. No mention of putting him under surveillance, because he has a right to carry.....WOW. http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/2015/12/ohio_barber_confronts_white_man_walking_around_black_neighborhoods_carrying.html?wpisrc=see_also_article Deone Slater, owner and master barber at Kangaroo Kutz in Akron, had enough of the antics of Daniel Kovacevic, 25, who was walking around with a rifle strapped to his back. An Akron, Ohio, barbershop owner had enough of one young white man who was walking around the neighborhood with a rifle on his back, so he confronted the 25-year-old outside his shop on Thursday and called the police, Cleveland.com reports. Deone Slater, owner of Kangaroo Kutz, did not want Daniel Kovacevic in front of his shop that morning. "He was a threat to my community," Slater told the news site. "If I can prevent him from shooting up the city, I would. I won't condone it. Somebody's got to stand up." Police arrived shortly after and tried to calm Slater, who was reportedly shouting at Kovacevic. "[Slater] was obviously emotional and concerned about his safety and the safety of everyone in the community," Police Sgt. Doug Sandor said. "I told [Kovacevic] to take his guns off," Slater said. "I told him let me have five or 10 minutes with him without his weapons." Slater also called officers out for trying to calm him instead of engaging with Kovacevic. "[The police] asked me why do I have a problem," Slater said. "He's a threat to me and my people. He's a threat to me. "[The police] were more concerned about me than him, as if I were the threat," he added. "It it were me with a gun, they would have shut the whole block down." Officers are claiming that they have their hands tied—even as Akron police spokesman Lt. Rick Edwards acknowledged that the man has been spotted in predominantly black communities—because of Ohio's gun laws, which allow open carry. Some, however, aren't too thrilled with the police response and suggest that race may be a factor in the toned-down response, especially considering the deaths of Tamir Rice and John Crawford, both of whom were shot in Ohio by police while carrying toy weapons. "It's different if it's a black person. People say it isn't, but it is," one person, 26-year-old Traneece Johnson, told the site, referencing Tamir. "[Kovacevic] was approached, and they gave him a chance to speak and say he was expressing his right. The little boy didn't get that chance." Edited by Can't Help It, Dec 5 2015, 05:51 PM.

The man reporting should have been calm when making the report. You must realize that a raving person looks exactly like a raving person. Regardless of whether or not the person has a valid reason to be raving. It's imperative to be calm at all times. If you see a baby about to fall from a window, well that's a time to start raving for something to be done, because action taken has to be quick to save the baby. But a white man carrying a rifle in a black neighborhood isn't anything to become hysterical over. A simple calm call to the police would have gotten better results.

Oh c'mon, we know the deal, and if a black man walked around the same hood armed, he'd be lucky to live to tell about it. Perhaps if they have a TV show where they have authorities come on and tell Negros, "we hate your black asses and wish you'd die", maybe then Negros would get the message.

You haven't presented a reason for hysteria over calm behavior. |

Just as a social experiment, let's see blacks in that area get the open carry license and walk around with a rifle strapped on their back.

It's a useless endeavor when everybody already knows the difference between the darker to lighter view. That the common response to melanin isn't the same as with non blacks. So the better solution is for black people to learn to stop going into hysteria whenever it comes to lighter ethnic groups. If it's legal to carry rifles around in Ohio, then the man had no cause for flying into hysterics over a white guy carrying one. Freaking out will never help the situation. I say this again and again, that the key to effective living is learning to be calm. The man's erratic behavior rendered him results suitable to it. Let's not overlook that thinking his argument can be won with the race card, because it can't. Race or no race, the man was unnecessarily hysterical, which is no way to deal with a situation. Black people socially defeat themselves in hysteria all the time and then blame their self defeat on racism when the real issue at hand is that they don't know how to handle themselves in difficulty.

My point, which historically, is well conveyed with the incident involving Malcolm X and the police over beating a black man in Harlem. Malcolm dealt with the police in a perfectly calm and collected manner, and got results. Which another onlooker was floored by because he couldn't believe his own eyes in seeing a black man not defeat himself in hysteria and win results in calm but firm confidence. The racism was still there, but didn't stand in the way of progress. Now, the man who would have defeated himself falling to pieces would have walked away blaming his failure on racism. Which racism has nothing to do with. Edited by cisslybee2012, Dec 6 2015, 05:58 AM.

He doesn't need to. Since you have presented no pro-Black argument here, as you merely sucking the White man's ass. the Black man is hysterical only in, your mind, and in racism-cop's minds. So fucc off. That White freek you are protecting here...was intimidating the customers and the business owner in front of place of business which he pays taxes on and he feeds his family with for years. He is entitled to use whatever passion he, desires, in order to bring attention and outrage onto a racist White man who specifically sought to agitate Black people. |

Right... Flying into hysterics and defeating yourself is really showing the white man. And by the way, Everybody else is entitled to whatever passions they desire too.

What I presented was facts, and wasn't shooting for anything else.
