How much you want to bet this owner of the Ravens is a Kennedyesque limo elitest who thinks he is above the law that us mere mortals have hanging over our heads like a gleaming gillatine, thus his Zulu guard is only being prosecuted because of his race. Also, I bet he would love to see the rest of us disarmed by Caesar.

Notice how the article carefully uses the passive voice to make it seem as though it was somehow all the gun’s doing: “A concealed pistol carried by an off-duty police officer... fired while he sat in the audience,” rather than “An off-duty cop fired his gun while sitting in the audience.” And “the gun discharged,” rather than “He discharged the gun.” Even the headline is meticulously phrased: "Off-duty cop shoots himself by mistake," as if off-duty cops routinely shoot themselves [I]deliberately[/I].

Try and imagine how this story would have been spun if the "off-duty cop" had been a White man.

You're reaching; the story would have been spun the same way, as we're supposed to admire/worship all "authority figures." They are the ones who enforce the will of our international rodentine masters, after all....

Cops are the servants of ZOG, and as such, they get a special pass for this sort of thing.
