The majority of the "unarmed black men" that are killed by LEO's tend to be exhibiting some form of active resistance at minimum (running away, fighting, etc.). It would stand to reason that if you didn't do those things, your chances of being killed go down drastically (probably close to zero). Your assertion that these men are running because they're actually afraid of being unjustly killed falls flat on it's face in the logic department. If you don't actively resist, LEO's won't have to use physical force to subdue you. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I just had a thought.......... Nah. What? That he was fleeing because cops in this country have a habit of killing unarmed black men? Nice edit sparky. If you don't run from Cops, they won't chase you. If you aren't running, and they aren't chasing, guns are less likely to be drawn. Also, stuff like you being tackled by multiple LE, breaking things, won't happen. Fighting or running from LE is a conscious decision, one that carries consequences, whether YOU like it or not. Or you could just try not committing crimes..... Therefore......my "Nah". |

This is exactly right. The media is starting to give people the illusion that running is an acceptable thing to do because if something bad happens when you're caught the media will blame the police. When someone runs they take what might be a minor charge and amplify it with an additional charge. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I simply don't care anymore. Either the public will accept that the police do this and accept it as the new norm, or the criminals will start to organize and use proper weapons and tactics for the situation they put themselves in. Simple as that.

Of course this is between the times they are driving around looking to violate rights and do gun confiscations for the democrats. So, according to GD, its always OK to run from the police because all they want to do is kill you anyway. Just cuz. |

"We believe the police are keeping the circumstances of Freddie's death secret until they develop a version of events that will absolve them of all responsibility," Murphy said. "However, his family and the citizens of Baltimore deserve to know the real truth; and we will not stop until we get justice for Freddie."

I used to work for the Baltimore City Solicitor's office. One of my cases had me stay at busy (read "the hood") fire stations on the busy days (when the checks hit). The police would often bring their breakfasts, lunches and dinners and eat them in the firehouse. I will never forget the look of relief on the officers' faces when they made it into the fire stations. The only thing I can imagine was it was like patrols coming back "in the wire" after a firefight. I used to know some city cops. Most of them were regular guys.
