What are you supposed to do if you are a police officer responding to a call and a guy comes at you with a knife? Now if I was the guy with the knife, I'd drop it, and do what the police officer said. You know, stuff like: "Put your hands up," and "Now turn around and put your hands on the car". You know, I could follow those kinds of instructions pretty easily. I might get my dumb self shot by the police officer otherwise and I really don't want to be shot. Yeah, I think if I was the guy with the knife, and given the below options of:
A. Drop the knife and then follow the police officer's commands
B. Come at the police officer with the knife in my hand

After careful consideration, I pick option A.

The lack of outrage is driven by compensation. People will be more outraged if they are going to be rewarded by either attention on tv or paid to shut up. On the other hand, if they open their mouth about someone in the hood. They may be rewarded in a different, not so fruitful manner.

Especially if they needs a new TV.

If a person doesn't want to die, they don't resist the police-just do as they say and no one will get hurt. We'll all be happy-sort of...

I won't say that. However you will live to sue the pants off the police department IF you have a case. I've seen many videos (Police Activity is a good channel to watch on YT as they show both types of videos) where cops have overstepped their boundaries. Yes, there are dirtbags in uniform. But many more times the situation is escalated by the arrested.

Do stupid crap win stupid prizes.

However racism is alive and well in america and sadly most of the times it's not the caucasians that are the racists.

I remember telling it once before but I am sure some have missed it. I was at the store pretty late with my wife and a woman was in the middle of the isle in a power cart with her grand daughter. I was tired and came up and said excuse me twice and which point in time I figure you are probably ignorant at which point in time I walk past. The grand daughter stood there at the same time and I know she heard me but didn't say, "Grandma there is someone there." or anything else. Grandma starts complaining that I walked past and I told her I said excuse me. My wife about this point in time is going past as well and I am near the other end of the isle. Little girl pops off and says, "Well I'm black and your white." Pissed me off something fierce and I am pretty sure half the store knew it, when I raise my voice you know it to say the least. I don't remember everything I said but I pointed to my wife and told them exactly who she is as playing the race card does not float with me. I am absolutely not racist, every color has crap people. Later on I saw the same two and the little girl didn't have much to say, I was still hot under the collar but I apologized for raising my voice. But I also informed the little girl that bringing up the race card made her the racist, grandma agreed.

Unfortunately racism is a learned behavior, I was taught that when I lived at home as a child but joining the military and getting along with others of all races took care of family learning. It is passed on from parent/s to children and they in turn grow up and teach others. It's not right, not productive and certainly not healthy but it exists and we have to live with the problem.
