    if he was black, he would’ve been shot at the 20 second mark, 32 second mark, or they would’ve turned his vehicle into swiss cheese when he drove off

    Is this where the cops get praised for showing restraint?

    "Just comply" is the response when black people are shot dead.

    Lololol

    New information just came in the case as to the methods used to determine by the police to exercise lethal force or not

    Anytime anyone gets pulled over, just put your hands up and start barking out "DO YOU HAVE A BODY CAM? DO YOU HAVE A BODY CAM? ETC..."

    Oh...and act white while you're doing it.

    I once did a presentation in hs polysci about getting pulled over by police. I took material from Prison Planet, so it was all about knowing your rights and not telling popo jack shiet. This was during the 90s with an overachieving half white half Asian student body.

    The next presenters were a couple of white dudes that coincidentally had the exact topic but went 180 on what to do. They went all Carlton Banks and saying stuff like acting respectful and being a good citizen while handing out potentially incriminating info. Guess they never watched any John Singleton movies.

    Only the non-white kids in the class knew what was up. Teacher was more interested in my discussion.

    The problem with people is they are more concerned with their rights than their responsibilities.

    To paraphrase Robert Heinlein when this the case in a society that society does not endure.

    As a society it feels like we're faceplanting pretty hard by trying to hash this out via anecdotes.

    ...one reason for that might be because, as a society, we're not all telling the same story.

    ...and some stories...depending on who's telling them...seem to have more weight than others...

    Stories are good at playing on people's emotions. Getting reactions and shares are the name of the game. Truth isn't really the priority.

    Not even just their restraint even the way they were talking to him is much different.
