When you shoot yourself in the foot

Oh boy oh boy, have I got a good low quality youtube video lined up for you. It's so old you can see the jpeg compression artifacts. Now I know what you're going to say, that I used a term that only applies to a particular format of image and not to videos, but hey, DO I LOOK LIKE I KNOW HWAT A JAY PEG IS? I JUST WANT A PICTURE OF A GOT-DANG HOT DOG! Anyway, here it is:

That was quite painful to see, right? Oh yes, with all the racially charged events that have occurred over the last few years(like the Cincinnati Zoo shooting), I just had to rub salt into an old wound, didn't I?

But there's a lesson to be learned here. We need to start asking ourselves the real questions here, in search of the deep philosophical essence that defines our humanity. 
Like, why is there suffering in this world?
Why do we as human beings perpetrate such acts of senseless violence on each other?
As one commentator on the video so succinctly pointed out, this instance is yet another example of a police officer shooting a black man for no good reason.

Lest I'm accused of merely promoting more racially charged nonsense, I am compelled to point out that in this case, the black man was armed, and he clearly shot first.

Unlike in those other cases, I'm not defending the police officer, I still think he should have lost his job for that. I'm not going to say he was acting in self defense, because that's definitely wrong. 

No, in fact it was quite the opposite. I guess you could say he was acting in....

...self offense.


YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
