A significant deterrent for black gun ownership is the fear that police will mistake a legal gun owner for a criminal during a crisis. Mo'fax and Curry agree that a black man holding a gun at a crime scene is statistically more likely to be fired upon by arriving officers than a white man in the same position. They reiterate the need for Hollywood to change the cultural imagery of armed black men to mitigate this bias.
The hosts analyze the iconic photograph of civil rights leaders pointing from the balcony of the Lorraine Motel immediately after the shooting. They argue that Jesse Jackson and others were pointing in the wrong direction based on the findings of the 1999 civil trial. This discrepancy is used to suggest that the immediate reaction was either confused or part of a staged narrative to misdirect attention from the actual sniper's location.
