So here's what you can't do, for fear of waving a red flag in front of the bull:
1. Have your car break down on the street.

So, it appears that a lot of people get killed who aren't doing anything that should even get them arrested. If I don't have to do anything, then what the hell can I do? Is there a book on how not to wave a red flag in front of a timid cop?
Wake up, Jai. I'm not talking about criminals who actually are threats to the welfare and safety of cops. They deserve what they get. I'm talking about people who have no potential to harm the cops but are shot due to the "warrior police" mindset that is festering in police departments everywhere. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014...08040780519904
All I'm asking for is a fair and open hearing on the facts instead of a rubber stamp investigation that nearly ALWAYS exonerates the cops of wrong doing. If you have a son, grandson, brother, father, friend of color, then you should be as pissed as I am. Don't think that you can't be next in line.
This is not about Black on Black crime. Black criminals are arrested and sent to prison all the time. This is about Blue on Black crime, where cops are barely disciplined, let alone charged for killing people like us without cause.
