Drop the racist beliefs that all blacks are getting killed by police because thy are not complying with police commands.
Are you calling me a racist? You wouldn't if you knew me. Throwing the race card to invalidate the other person's point of view is worn out. In the post Obama era, all it does is make you look lazy.
By law we do not just have to do whatever the police say.
OK. Not arguing here. But you might also want to consult the Law of Survival. You might want to use a huge amount of common sense and self restraint. Cops REGULARLY kill people they come into contact with. That tiny fact seems to be overlooked by many people.
When you come into contact with a cop for whatever reason, however minor the encounter starts, you need to keep the fact in the front of your mind that you are in a life and death situation and that thought alone should govern your actions.
This stupid little white boy got killed for essentially acting like a jerk. Had nothing to do with being white. He was just too stupid to live in our environment. The cop pulled him over for flashing his high beams. A few moments later he was dead. This is example A of an easily preventable death by cop.
There is no such thing as the race card. So if you are not racist you don't use terms racists use or believe the same things they do, such as playing the race card. Police need o be imprisoned for killing people. Every police shooting that ends up in a death should be treated as a murder and a jury trial should be held, not sham "investigations" by the police departments internal affairs division. The jury decides whether or not the shooting was justified based on the evidence only pertaining to the shooting and not police press releases trying to make people criminals in order bias to allow the community to agree with the killings.. It should not be a life or death situation when you are pulled over for a busted taillight.
Again, you need to understand that things operate differently for blacks than for whites. While you can say a white kid got killed for acting a jerk, therefore race has noting to do with it, that is the completely wrong assessment when you talk about things that happen to blacks given the reality that police departments have been shown to have serious racial bias and that racism is rampant in the justice system.
"...given the reality that police departments have been shown to have serious racial bias and that racism is rampant in the justice system."
But that has not been proven to be the reality. Don't beg the question.
