BS. Black and Latino cops understand and approach me differently than the majority of white cops.We are not talking about the intelligence of a reaction. You will find that most reactions have nothing to do with thought. Its a freeze, flight or fight response. We are talking about the cops tendency to escalate the situation when dealing with Black/Latino people. Since they do this all day and I pay their salary, the onus is on them to approach with respect.A bad attitude can be provoked by a disrespectful or racist cop. You need to bone up on how your body language and tone of voice can give someone a bad attitude.Using the "attitude detector" police know to single out blacks.
Thats a new one
It's pretty easy to spot a bad attitude within a few seconds of speaking to someone. At least I can.
Of course. When that person, however, is armed and has legal authority to place people under arrest and utilize whatever means necessary to render a person harmless, the smart thing is to not react to "provocation".
Since cops of all skin colors react generally the same ways when approaching people of varying skin colors, perhaps there's more than just racism involved.
