The only way I would have opened fire is if I felt seriously threatened with perhaps losing my own life.
I wish I knew why they all carried on firing.

It's from that source that most trouble is coming!
According to official FBI statistics in 2015 51.1% of people arrested for homicide were African American; even though African American people account only for 13.4% of the total United States population.
There's a message there that explains a great deal that very few people are open to receive let alone accept.

Here's another thought too - how come our cops in this country manage to make most arrests without shooting the culprit multiple times ey?

Not entirely true Todger.
From what we read in the papers, nearly everyone here seems to carry a knife now.
Don't you consider that 'tooled up?'

Its certainly a growing trend though thanks to the filth that have been allowed and in a couple of cases encouraged to enter the UK and bring their savage jungle culture with them.
