So you also don't know if I'm wrong. My perception is based on what's been made available.

Lose your shit, to me, means lose your cool, which in this case is tied to people expressing what I consider to be irrational fear and hysteria.
Also, I never said that it was more upsetting than anything else at all. I agree that most if not all people have some sort of irrational fear (including myself). I just called out what I believe it is. Again, let's stick to what I actually said. > >You mentioned Arnesha Bowers yet I linked an online BET >article expressing how upset communities were about the >occurrence. >
Upset isn't an indication of resulting fear. It's just a reaction to it happening at all (i.e. "that's messed up"). Additionally, I just read that article and there is nothing in there that actually supports the title. The only direct quote is from a Police major.

You can believe that if you want, we don't have to agree. But I do appreciate you making an attempt to stick to what I actually said.
