I do so enjoy your over generalizations. Not sure if it’s troll bait or just simply what one may expect out of “Redneck Hell, Florida.”
At any rate, since you repeatedly insist you know what you're doing, there is no doubt in my mind you have the capacity and willingness to shoot anything that moves. Goodluck with practicing drawing your gun out of your bike fanny pack. I’m sure that must be a very useful and comforting exercise for you.
I wish you well.
Incidentally, the “all mighty cops” do not generally make a habit of “emptying their weapons at suspects”. Up here us paternalistic liberals tend to insist the poor fellow slide from the "suspect" category into the more altruistic "homeless person who litters" category before emptying a clip into his ass.
Or is that the way things work in “Redneck Hell Florida”? You might consider moving.
Why don't you ask the black guy in NYC who was shot at 51 times by NYPD because they thought his cell phone was a gun? Or how about the guy in Oakland who was shot while on the ground? Police fire their weapons more now that they have been issued pistols instead of revolvers(do you know the difference?). It's a fact.
DC appears to be the worst, though:

BTW, it's not a "clip". It's a magazine. Clips are used in the M1 Garand rifle, or to load cartridges into a rifle magazine. You might want to get your terminology straight if you wish to discuss matters about which you are clearly uninformed.
As to the "you forgot to mention how much you bench press..." comment another poster made---it's not quite the same as the Ronnie Coleman wannabe, now is it? I carry a firearm. The responsible thing to do is practice with it. That's what everybody's beef is, right? "Untrained, unskilled...." and all that jazz. Well, I'm trained AND skilled.
But, I forgot. The bicycling community is filled with idealists and middle-class white people who live safely in suburbs or gentrified urban areas and believe nothing bad can ever happen. When something does, like the gentleman in Minnesota who was beaten to death, the blame shifts to the victim. "Well, he was buying drugs...", or, "He shouldn't have been there...". Anything to justify their ill-informed and naive world views.
