My quote doesn’t like to be broken up for whatever reason on an ipad, so i’m sorry for that ahead of time,
Ok. Now i know this is sort of rediculous, but when i watch a show like LivePD and someone gets arrested it’s all “I KNOW MY RIGHTS, YOU AINT STOPPING ME, YOU AINT RECORDING ME” and many times when these police brutality things are shown you can see the guy getting arrested resisting. Even if it is running away. Does that justify, in anyway police brutality? No. Will it solve every act of police brutality? No. But, a yes sir, hands up, will do a lot to improve your odds. Cops aren’t the best and brightest. They are just like you and me, maybe even a little below average. If you give a frustrated person authority they are bound to use it. My suggestion is to at least pretend to respect their authority. It will go a long way in avoiding confrontation.
Police brutality happens to innocent people, but it happens to completely innocent people a lot less than it happens to people who commit crimes. Again, criminal actions aren’t justification for police brutality. It happens, the goal most achievable is to try to avoid it.
I think people in general need to work to improve themselves, instead of focusing on the faults of others. If people aren’t listening to blacks trying to improve their image, they definitely won’t listen to them complain about police brutality. Just looks at what our own president is doing, working to actively shut them up. So, protesting police brutality may be justified, but how effective will it be? I think it will just build resentment.
