Working while black means you have to take attempted murder in stride and just keep on working

So here's a guy going about his day delivering packages for FedEx and he gets shot at by a father and son pair of thugs, very likely because he was black and these are two evil and violent racists. The next day he files a police report and gives his statement to the police (as one does when shot at by raving lunatics) and FedEx tells him to go back to the exact same route, which he did for a couple of days despite that the indisputable villains in this story were released on bail and out and about.

So here's a guy going about his day delivering packages for FedEx and he gets shot at by a father and son pair of thugs, very likely because he was black and these are two evil and violent racists. The next day he files a police report and gives his statement to the police (as one does when shot at by raving lunatics) and FedEx tells him to go back to the exact same route, which he did for a couple of days despite that the indisputable villains in this story were released on bail and out and about.

During a news conference on Thursday, Gibson said he was told by his superiors to run the same route the day after the chase, CBS affiliate WJTV reports.

“The following day, we had to go file a police report, and as soon as I was done filing a police report, they put me back on the same route. I did that for like a day or two until I started having real bad anxiety attacks, and I just couldn't do it anymore. I asked them for some time off, which I do have, but it's unpaid,” said Gibson.

'Real bad anxiety attacks' is a candidate for greatest understatement in the English language. Getting shot at is far more anxiety inducing than just 'take some time off (unpaid) and come back when you can' sort of thing.
