Here's my point:

The police in the US are more trigger happy because suspects are more likely to be armed. That means, in essence, that if they fuck up, they are MUCH more likely to be killed. So, with that in mind, a police officer is much more likely to shoot because he or she would rather kill a suspect than be killed themself. Their motto might be "to protect and serve" but at the end of the day, they don't want to die on the job.

If you're confronting the police and are black or poor, this is especially worse because black and poor people tend to commit the types of crimes that police are called for. So they're more suspicious of black and poor people as a result.

Rich white people tend to commit white collar crimes which the police don't deal with and thus they tend not to be suspicious of rich white people as a result.

By "tend to" I should clarify that these are the crimes REPORTED to police. It's been well established that, for example, crimes committed by black or poor people are more likely to be reported.

i say again: what

you do realize how close you're skirting "black people are more inclined to crime" right

Wut

I said the types of crimes that police deal with, for one (did you even read what I wrote on white collar crime????)

for another, it's pretty well established that black and poor people are much more likely to be REPORTED for committing crimes

Guess what? If the crime isn't reported, then the police are MUCH less likely to deal with it -- thus, they're undoubtedly getting a skewed sample size

I think anon means cooperation = less likelyhood to be *killed*... only.

They seem to be saying, police may dump a whole bunch of other bullshit charges on you, but better that than death.

This, basically. If you shoot at police, you will be shot back. It's not rocket science.

The majority of people are concerned with the situations which don't warrant being shot. Which are abnormally common. Hence the concern. It's not rocket science.
