If this guy had taken the Chris Rock approach and responded with "yes, sir, no sir" and a nice smile, he might still be alive today.

But when you listen to the hate whitey crowd (which sometimes includes parents) that tells you that the cops are out to get you, you get paranoid and do precisely the wrong thing...and, boom, you're dead.
