    Perry has insisted he was acting in self defense when he shot Foster, asserting that he had no choice but to open fire with his handgun when Foster pointed the AK-47 he was legally carrying at Perry.

    Only in America.

      The Black Panthers didn’t point their guns at the police.

      They would only shift the guns from one arm to the other and temporarily have the barrel pointed in the direction of the pigs for a fleeting second. They knew that aiming it at the pigs would get them executed. Using guns was for them a tactic of intimidation and deterrence. If you’re gonna arm yourself against the State, be smart.
