When a police officer asks you to stop and put your hands up, and you stop and put your hands up, there’s a 99.9999% chance you won’t be killed.
The DA in Travis County, Texas, was an uncooperative suspect (talking over the officer, not staying in one place, etc.). She was handled with kid gloves after they ascertained who she was (checked up on her DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM claims). Something like 50 minutes for a simple roadside sobriety investigation (no test administered for the first half hour).
Even simpler than that. The deceased knew he’d just committed a crime. When the officer merely asked him and his wingman to get out of the road, he could have - and should have - beat feet to the sidewalk and quietly disappeared to go make blunts of his ill-gotten Swisher Sweets. Act innocent and respectful, tell the nice officer, “Yes sir, thank you sir. I’ll be on my way now, sir. Have a good day and stay safe.” Officer Wilson did not know of the robbery and that he was facing the perp. Take that “lucky” break and get outta Dodge. Nobody shoots. Nobody dies.
A white friend of mine about 25 years ago in Brooklyn was shot in the arm by a cop for not complying and it had absolutely nothing to do with racism. He was pulled over because they thought he was driving a stolen car and they told him to put his hands on the dashboard and being the wise ass he was he jumped out of the car yelling “What the F is this?” and BANG! He was damn lucky and incredibly he won $100k in a lawsuit even though HE was 100% at fault. This kind of stuff happens because idiots like him have no respect for the cops so when the cops pull them over or ask them to do something they pull attitude, what crap like these Furgeson “protests” that are fully sanctioned by the Obama cabal do is they promote even more disrespect for the cops which is going to get more blacks killed.
