[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Hobie]Like I suggested to Brian, some of you need to spend an evening in a ‘ride a long’ with local cops. It’s free, and will open your eyes. Enough of the knee jerk reaction to cops techniques. Go ahead, try yourself to negotiate with a crazy person. Live and learn. We live with lots of crazy.[/quote]
it’s the price we pay for the 2nd am. And shit loads of guns in a culture of violence where cops reasonably believed people who hate them are armed. It seems unfair though when they jump the gun more on black citizens. If they do.[/quote]
It’s a matter of statistical odds, I think. They will be more wary in circumstances that warrant it, at least in their minds. What we need to ask — and HONESTLY answer — is why they think that certain situations are more dangerous than others.
