Some may think that accidents like this tend to wonder in the minds of the common people about how they happened and what was the reason behind it. I looked more into this case and I can tell that this was just another act of racism in our everyday lives, however, this one went a little bit too far. I feel that if the 19-year-old wasn't carrying and gun, the outcome would of been different.

This may be considered an act of racism but I believe that maybe Roshad McIntosh was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is wrong that the police shot Roshad just because he was armed. There's a possibility that Roshad could've had it for self protection. The 2nd amendment protects this situation.
