Lahk What??? What the fuck is wrong with you? It's pretty simple If a cop tells you to do something, you do it. You don't resist even if you have done nothing wrong. Michael Brown did not follow the officer's instructions. No one will get out of a confrontation with the Police. the odds are all in the cops favor as they should be. The woman that was just shot in Baltimore would be alive today if she had followed the instructions of the Police. She is dead of stupidity.
A confrontation with the Police is a no win, untenable situation. This is true no matter what your race is. But if you are stupid enough to fight with the Police or point a gun at the Police, at the very least you will get your ass kicked and at the worst you will die.
This is called common fucking sense but for some reason a lot of black people think that these rules don't apply to them.

This issue is difficult for many non whites to understand, but from the beginning the criminal justice system in America was designed to subjugate and over criminalize black people. From the days of the slave patrols, to "Black Codes" to Jim Crow Laws to stop and frisk today.
Democrats wouldn't be able to use false narratives like "Hands Up Don't Shoot" if Republicans wouldn't pretend like people of all races are treated the same in most situations by law enforcement. If they would listen to Tim Scott and even Ben Carson, they'd realize that it's not just a figment of the liberal imagination that being black can mean being more encounters with the police even if you aren't breaking the law. If you're black and somewhat affluent like me, that just means maybe a DWB (driving while black) stop every now and then. If you're poor you could end up dead, whether you are in compliance or not. I'm not saying it's an epidemic (even though it's hard to dig up the stats, by design), but it happens more often than people might be aware of.
So it's not about black people believing the rules don't apply to them; it's that the rules "over" apply to us sometimes. If those cases were handled properly, the liberal media couldn't use the questionable/doubtful cases like Mike Brown or the mothers the DNC used to rile up certain people.
