I’m more inclined to believe that they believe they can push a cops buttons precisely because they know the last thing most cops want to do is resort to lethal force. Dumbasses.
I am also inclined to believe that. 👍
I doubt their thinking is that complex. They're simply being impulsive, reacting moment-to-moment, with no clear plan or thought for longterm consequences. (Longterm, as in beyond the next 15 to 30 seconds.)
In a traffic stop situation, it seems black people should’ve learned by now that they only have two options. Either behave peaceably (and accept the consequences of their illegal traffic action)...or resist/start a fight and get shot/choked out. Common sense would tell them to take Option #1. But no...they opt to die. Why? I just don’t understand that.
If I’m pulled over on the side of the road, with a cop car behind me, their blue lights a-flashing...yes, that’s the LAST PLACE I WANT TO BE. But, I refrain from dying by a accepting the ticket for my traffic infraction...and live to see another day.
