Bet the NRA doesn’t say about this.
WGN TV reports that 26-year-old armed security guard Jemel Roberson was working at Manny’s Blue Room Bar in Robbins, Illinois on Sunday morning when he was attacked by a gun-wielding man whom witnesses say had been kicked out of the bar earlier in the evening.
Roberson returned fire on the man and managed to subdue him and pin him to the ground.
However, when a Midlothian, Illinois police officer showed up on the scene, he opened fire and killed Roberson because he thought Roberson was the true assailant.
“Everybody was screaming out, ‘he was a security guard,’ and they basically saw a black man with a gun and killed him,” witness Adam Harris tells WGN TV.
The Midlothian Police Department has so far released very little information about the shooting and is only confirming that one of its officers was involved. According to WGN, the State Police Public Integrity Task Force is running an investigation of the officer’s decision to open fire on Roberson.
Pastor Patricia Hill of Chicago’s Purposed Church tells WGN TV that she’s horrified to see another young black man fatally shot by police despite the fact that he had risked his own life to prevent a potential mass shooting.
“Once again it’s the continued narrative that we see of shoot first, ask questions later,” she said.

For why? You want to take the guns from the cops, too?
Shut up, Derp.
Lol gimpy mono
The good guy with the gun got shot by the police according to this.
cops doing as their racist culture says: "black guy with gun? fire away"
It's embarrassing to admit in public that a black guy with a gun -- even if he's a good guy, and everyone around him is yelling out that he's a good guy -- is target practice.
Not really a gun issue here as it is a trigger happy cop issue.
How does a cop not recognize a security guard outfit
Good question.
Crappy training?
Coward?
Bad character?
....racist training? systemic racism?...
Helium asphyxiation? Time shift? (if we're throwing out wild possibilities).
Ah, plain clothes
"According to witness statements, the Midlothian Officer gave the armed subject multiple verbal commands to drop the gun and get on the ground before ultimately discharging his weapon and striking the subject,” state police said in a statement late Tuesday.
Gregory Kulis, an attorney representing Roberson’s mother, said Roberson wore a hat emblazoned with the word “SECURITY."
“Everybody was screaming out he was a security guard," witness Adam Harris told WGN-TV. "And they basically saw a black man with a gun and killed him.”
Authorities have not released the name of the officer, who is white......"

Yeah you gotta drop the gun and get on the ground when told to
apparently, the bar was filled with helium.

In an alternate space/time domain.
No conservative coming in and defending the cop even a little bit?
Chumpettes still need to be triggered.
It is indeed embarrassing. For a number of reason I.E why does this not occur to Asians..m
When is the last time you saw an Asian security guard at a bar?
