What Should Black People In America Do, To Avoid Being Killed By Police Officers?

[sp1814]

Last month, we found out that being a professional psychologist lying flat on the ground doesn't stop bullets, and now being a pastor with hands raised doesn't work either:

As these gentlemen weren't gangsters, exactly what should black people do now?

[ummmm]

He looks like a bad dude too....wft!!!

Unbelievable....

stay indoors.

[Mamyalynne]

Horrible.

[ummmm]

Do they forget they're being filmed...

[Smowball]

It really is getting out of control now

//exactly what should black people do now? //

do you mean "black people"? or do you mean "black americans"? because whatever the spoilt offspring of white champagne socialists might have you believe, there's not been much recent evidence on British streets....

Maybe when they find out, they might be good enough to pass the tip on to the White people, because 'White Lives Matter Also'.

The title of the thread is "What Should Black People In America Do..." so I am pretty sure he's not talking about British streets, Mushroom

Actually, that might be a bit difficult, seeing as so many of these fellas are being killed.

Yet again, we see a case of where some American Police think they are invisible.

Poor chap....maybe Randy is right ?

What do you expect when only last week a USA police officer was sacked for not immediately shooting dead a black man who was thought to be reaching for a gun!
This is an inevitable consequence of the USA's love affair with guns.

As ff has pointed out - this thread is about black people in America.

I assumed that contributors to this would get that, because of the question title, "What should black people IN AMERICA do...etc"

[mikey4444]

I have watched this video a couple of times, and I can't see any reason why the Police Woman should have opened fire on this poor man......none whatsoever. Perhaps he should have called the AAA ?

SP....don't worry....it was obvious to most of us !

Read your question, then read my answer "Maybe when they find out".

So I am obviously referring to those who have found out how to survive, so consequently they would be alive, so as to be able to pass on their tip.

I assume that the White Lives Matter pressure group already know the answer to 'how not to be shot'.

It's 'be white'.

[mikey4444]

AOG....there may be something more to this case than we know now, but it seems that he wasn't doing anything wrong at all, other than to break down on the highway.

I expect he was entirely sure that he was doing everything possible to protect himself from an attack by a Police Officer, when he left the house that day.

Turns out, though, that it obviously wasn't enough.

If you look on the internet, there are 100s of videos of blacks be shot in the States, and assaulted.

Its amazing how quickly the cops get back up when they call over their radio that its a black male.
They seem to come out of the blue, with their guns ready to fire, or blazing away like the old cowboy movies.

But sometimes when the blacks do get stopped, they do have a tendency to mouth off loudly, do their swagger walk, and give the cop the intention, they are going to attack him.

A more in depth story, I too assumed that he seemed to reach into his cars side window, even before I read this report.

Enlighten me, is there really a 'White Lives Matter' pressure group?

/// It's 'be white'. ///

Dear me sp, isn't that remark a tad racist?
