StarfishSaver's JournalIf cops in a wealthy Chicago suburb got a call that someone was shooting at passing cars
And when they arrived, they found a 13-year-old white kid running down the street and they ordered him to stop and put his hands up and he immediately stopped, dropped what could have been a gun, turned around and put his hands up and they shot him in the chest less than a second later, no one would be insisting that the cop was justified in shooting him because the kid had tried to run, or he turned around, or he may have fired a gun gun earlier, or shouldn't have been out at 2:00 in the morning.
What would you do?
Imagine you are a 13-year-old kid in a group of older people who are being chased by the police. You have a gun, but you don't want to use it and you don't want to get shot. You just want to go home. You're willing to be arrested and deal with the consequences if that means staying alive.
As you run, a cop yells for you to stop. You immediately stop. The cop then tells you to put up your hands.
What do you do?
I wonder how this cop behaves when cameras AREN'T on
No, actually, I don't.

We resist, we get choked. We comply, we get crushed to death. We surrender, we get shot.
White folks break the law, resist arrest, assault the police, loot, destroy and kill - and they get Burger King, bail money, and GoFundMe pages.
And you wonder why we "keep making it all about race"?
