EJ Bradford had a concealed carry permit. He was in the Army. He may have been trying to stop a mall shooting. He was the @NRA’s definition of a good guy with a gun except for one thing: he was Black.

They don’t want to put his name on bylines because they don’t want the incident to get the attention. Let me be clear Mr. Bradford did not have to be killed, his family is devastated. But when you are black and carrying a weapon you don’t have 2nd Amendment Rights. Yes I said it.

Tamir Rice held a toy gun in an open carry state
•Police executed him

Jemel Roberson stopped a mass shooter while on duty
•Police executed him

Emantic Bradford was stopping a shooter in an open carry state
•Police executed him

The “good guy with a gun” myth is a racist lie

"It's like someone ripped my heart out."

The parents of the man shot and killed by police at an Alabama mall on Friday are calling for "equal justice" after they say authorities shot someone who was simply a good Samaritan. https://t.co/PEqcujWABG pic.twitter.com/npepGqE5jk
