    Most people have the decency to not act on it to that extreme, though,

    And if you’ll scroll up a couple comments, you’ll see a very in depth explanation of why he likely can’t control his implicit biases…

    You’re acting like someone that can’t control them, is always choosing not to.

    While also implying someone who controls it because they know those implicit biases are wrong, is the same as someone who believes they’re right, but hides them for optics. There’s literally no way to change implicit biases once you’re old enough to understand what they are, it’s already too late.

    But I can’t explain it any better than I already have. Those were the cliff notes already.

    I think it would be best if you just read this thread again after calming down.

      And if you were paying attention, you’d have seen how that the shotgun thing happened before he was in office. Before his stroke.

      I liked the guy before too. I was fooled. It’s okay, I’m not omniscient.

      Edit: Here’s a 2022 article on the 2013 incident.
      and a 2013 article

      He jumped in a truck and chased down a guy that was running after getting spooked by fireworks. Getting spooked is understandable. Chasing a guy down in a truck is not. Brandishing a weapon to detain the guy you have no cause to detain; after chasing him down?

      This story reads more like Ahmad Arbery, than hero mayor. Maybe he tried to right the wrong, but he still did wrong- and very nearly got a man killed.
