Damn I wonder if it’s as bad as having the cops kill your family member? Probably worse I bet.

Who said it was either-or? It's not a competition, I just find it very insensitive to say something like "it's just a handbag".

The hypothetical handbag in question does not exist. You are doing this on a post about a real young man who was shot dead by police for wearing a hoodie. Read the room.

You're getting very antsy about a hypothetical handbag.
