It’s not rocket science. During an encounter with the cops don’t make the cops fear for their lives and your chances of getting shot are near 0%. Not exactly 0% but near 0%. Doesn’t matter your race or gender. Either because of genetics or environment some people can’t understand this. It doesn’t go well for them. It doesn’t matter if you get a good or bad cop. There are a small percentage of bad cops. Rotten apples having bad days. If this alleged spoiled, rotten apple pulls over a black man who shuts off the engine, keeps his hands visible and stays civil that person will NOT get shot even if they have no license, registration, or proof of insurance. Even if that person has outstanding warrants. They might get arrested, but they will not get shot. As a civilian interacting with a cop you have to do your part in the encounter. Your behavior is 100% on you. I don’t think many (any) big city cops are still acting like country sheriffs in the segregated south breaking people’s taillights and then writing tickets. We live in a large, complex society. And males threatening cops and females getting nasty, hysterical and manipulative is bad behavior that should transformed into civility and professionalism. Not excused and encouraged.
