[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most innocent people get killed by cops for not following instructions.

When I was 29 I was driving a red Jeep at 4am by myself and I kinda saw a cop way back behind me. I was dead sober. I actually feel asleep on GFs sofa on a Thursday watching a movie and was driving home cause I had work the next day

As I approached the county line an unmarked car came out of now here cut me off and the cop car behind boxes me in.

Cop comes out with gun puts it towards my head yells put hand in dashboard don’t move Fing hands and a third cop car boxes me in one left side.

I stay quite hand in dash. Finally he puts gun away.

Turns out someone carjacked same exact Jeep I had same color with a discription of single man age late 20s.

As I was approaching county line unless in hot pursuit could not follow and was running plates when he pulled me over.

I would have been shot of did not follow directions. [/quote]

Alas, some people would be shot even if they did follow directions. Or, as we can see from the topic of this thread, would be giving conflicting commands and beaten to death.[/quote]

Yes that is the experience of many POC - even judges, professors and doctors of color report being mishandled by police during routine traffic stops.

It is a big stretch from one guy’s personal fortunate experience to “Most innocent people get killed by cops for not following instructions.”

Probably mentally unwell people of all races have bad experiences because their responses are misinterpreted as aggressive.

This is why more police training in deescalation and appropriate levels of force are needed (in conjunction with support services for cops and accountability measures to discipline bad cops). The majority of cops are just trying to do their job and probably need more training and counseling support. The bad actors need to be removed from the force. [/quote]
