Dittos to what you said. No matter if you yourself know you are as innocent as a new born baby. “I want a lawyer”, that is the only thing to say.

“...especially if the guy now lying on the ground is another color than you.”

And the color you are is white.

When I attended 8 weeks of Army basic training years ago, I decided to practice what you show as "Layer Two: Functional invisibility."

For the first six weeks of training, my name was never called except for roll calls. I avoided taking a corner or edge position in all formations. I was never at the front or back of any line. I would go out of my way to avoid any contact with those of higher rank. If my bunkmate hadn't gone AWOL, I doubt even my own platoon sergeant would have realized I was one of his own guys.

If I hadn't gotten extremely sick toward the end, I might have remained invisible the entire time. Things can get boring in the service and this gave me something to do.

have "went"

Yo don't tense up, you sure drug out the wrong book on that one. Its "has went." BTW, the past participle has went out of English like you know, what, 20 years ago? Good riddance! I has drank with my pals to it's leaving many a time.

Don’t forget to get a new extractor & firing pin/striker as well since those also leave “tool markings” on a shell casing that can be checked under a microscope.

>>However, if there is to be a fight, the best one is a short one.<<

A change in thinking.

Become the predator. Flash a gun or a knife, confirm that there is a good chance that they will be shot or cut. If they hesitate then you take that opportunity to disappear. Have a plan for every situation beforehand.

No, I agree with the author. A Black man should think that he will not be able to receive equal justice under the law because White prejudice does exist in many police departments.

So the conservation officer conducted a quick investigation and the two troopers didn’t/wouldn’t as to the validity of this man’s story. Something isn’t being told.

Not all troopers are Sherlock Holmes.

I have found (and pointed out) evidence which troopers had overlooked (including, in one case, another involved vehicle) which seriously changed the interpretation of events at an accident scene.

If the troopers couldn't be bothered to cross the road to look for evidence of vehicle impact, they did a crappy job of investigation.

If they thought the guy was out picking off deer with a handgun, their interpretation of events is shaky anyway. (While there are a rare few who might be able to jacklight deer with a handgun, they are a very small minority).
