Worries

[EgoDeath]

I don't live my life in fear and I don't think that BQ should either.
I told her as much.

Okay.

But the reality is that she must routinely carry a device that police have repeatedly been shown to mistake for a weapon, and that is a legitimate concern.

A bit paranoid, in my opinion, but okay. I won't claim that the concern is completely unfounded.

The implication that she is more likely gunned down by "the brothas in the hood" is ridiculously presumptuous and dismissive since she's made it clear multiple times that she does NOT live in the fucking hood.

This is YOUR projection, not mine. I simply relayed what I've been told by multiple friends of mine and in no way implied that I knew where she lived or what type of neighborhood she's from. You're the one being presumptuous here, not me.

If she's that concerned, don't go outside with your cane. Figure out an alternative. Problem solved. I'm sure it's tough enough living as a disabled person, let alone having to worry about the police thinking you have a weapon. But at the end of the day if the thought scares you THAT MUCH, do something about it.
