Every situation is different. There are cases where black and white people have pointed guns at cops and not been shot. But generally, if you do, whether you’re black or white or rich or poor isn’t going to stop that cop from defending himself and rightfully so. Even if your Mom owns ‘half of Times Square’.

Quote:He’s the scion of an influential New York family filled with bankers, politicians and a federal judge.

His great-grandmother is among the Big Apple’s legendary newspaper publishers — late, longtime Post owner Dorothy “Dolly” Schiff.

But Patrick Allen chose a different path in life, and was shot three times by cops on Staten Island on Thursday when a night of test-firing illegal guns with a buddy went horribly wrong.

“His mom owns half of Times Square,” said a stunned building super who knows Allen’s dad.

Allen and pal Jonathan Derbyshire, both 24, took a cache of guns and drugs into a wooded area in the Charleston section and were popping off shots around 1:10 a.m. when residents called 911, cops said.

When officers arrived, Derbyshire booked it through the trees as Allen wheeled around and pointed a 9mm Glock 26 pistol, police said.

Cops opened fire, hitting Allen three times in the left leg and once in the left arm, cops said.

Being white and rich will sure help out your criminal record.

"Allen, who has eight sealed arrests for crimes including drug peddling, is suspected of regularly buying weed in Colorado and shipping it back to New York for resale, according to sources."

A bad case of Affluenza.

I'm not going to go so far as to say the justice system is color blind, but it's certainly better now than it has been at any point in US history. The justice system isn't racist, it's classist. If you were a poor person of any color with that arrest record you'd be in prison, yet not only was he not but they were sealed. Now I'm not sure how you solve that problem but the real fairness breakdown is at the class level not at race.

dumb*** is lucky that the cops were bad shots.
