Why Black People Running From the Police Makes Perfect Sense

[Lee-Lee]

21. No- it still doesn't make sense

Consider the numbers- how many arrests per year in those neighborhoods? How many killed by police?

Even without asking how many of those killed or injured during arrest were trying to win it on the streets by fighting or running- even in those area statisticly an arrest is still not very likely to result in what you describe.

Yes, I know that it's not cool to look at things in the big picture, but rather to claim the exceptions are the rule.

But when you do that and further encourage minority youth to fight police or run, you are doing absolutely nothing but giving horrible advice and guidance that is going to cause them more pain and hardship and maybe ruin thier lives and futures by turning a minor deal into a big one.

Even in the worst place in the nation with the most corrupt police, you are still only making things worse for yourself and increasing the odds of a bad outcome by running and/or fighting with the cops in the street. That is the reality- and you can't show me any department with statistics showing otherwise.

Document, record, have others do so, fight it in court. Especially now the unprecedented availability of video and audio recording devices in everyone's pockets makes that easier than ever before. When the cops are in the wrong you can win it that way in court and/or in the press.

Don't get stupid and try to win it on the streets by running or fighting. You won't.
