Um no. Don't want to be shot by cops, don't be black.

Really? Lots of completely innocent Black pepole being gunned down by police at random, are there? Got some examples?

Because the three worst examples of unjustified police shootings I can think of all were white people shot by police. None was a criminal. None were armed or resisting arrest or refusing orders. One was in her pajamas, for Gods sakes. Two were in shorts and T-shirts and confronted by groups of heavily armed SWAT protected behind barricades or walls, the suspect out in the open, and shot because a cop felt their hand might have moved somewhere in the general direction of their hip or something. One was the infamous "swatting' incident, and the other was a guy shot while crawling on all fours and crying and begging the cops not to shoot him.

There is a definite problem with police training and how the mindset is created within them of being ready to be violently attacked at any second, and to be ready to respond with their guns. They're poorly trained in fighting and disarming anyone with a weapon, and far too ready to shoot. But that applies to anyone they encounter. They just encounter more Black criminals proportionate to the numbers of Blacks in the population because Blacks are far more likely to be involved in violent crime.
