I don't care what you look like, you do as you're told in situations involving police and you won't be shot. Period.
you've obviously not been paying attention lately to what has been happening to people who have.
Explain where I'm ignorant of all this rampant police brutality.
Give me one incident (other than the lady reporting the rape, who was incidentally white) that have been killed while complying with a police officer.
The one that disgusted me was the black guy who told the cop he was carrying a gun, and then told the cop exactly what he was doing, and nevertheless got shot in front of his kid. The cop's explanation was incredible: "if he was willing to carry pot around his kid, who knows what he was willing to do?" Yeah, the dude's a real loose cannon. Al fucking Capone, let me tell you.
That's basically what I mean when I say that too much ordinary behavior has been criminalized. A lot of people smoke dope. A lot of people have guns... guess they don't trust the cops to protect them and their property. Imagine that.
That cop should be on death row in my opinion, and the NRA should be ashamed of their failure to stand up for the victim.
