Here's A Crazy Thought: Why Don't Black People Simply Obey Law Enforcement?
Posted on 8/25/20 at 4:30 pm

I do what law enforcement tells me to do, and I haven't been shot and killed yet. Am I foolish to think that this same "out-of-the-box" thinking might work just as well for black people?
I mean, let me think of some of the shootings of black men, trying to recall their behavior:
1) Michael Brown attacked a police officer.
2) Freddie Gray ran from police.
3) Alton Sterling resisted arrest.
4) Rodney King forced L.A. police to pursue him on a high-speed chase (he wasn't shot, just beaten when they captured him).
5) The dude at the Burger King in Atlanta resisted arrest.
6) This Milwaukee dude resisted arrest.
That's all the specific incidents I can think of off the top of my head. So, here's my question. At what point does this simply become a matter of:
"Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes."
???
EDIT - Yeah, I can't believe I forgot about George Floyd. Or as Nancy Pelosi called him, George Kirby.

There are white people who don’t follow police orders too, and they get shot, too - you just don’t hear about from the media.

because it's easier to play the victim, not hold oneself accountable and hire a high profile race baiting attorney to get some cash out of the deal, even if police are not at fault.

Its hard man... really hard, especially when you have not been taught to respect authority at any point in your life...

Actually there are white people who follow police orders and still get executed.

One of the many, many societal fallouts from the lack of fathers in the home.

Too busy keeping it real?

Comply or die. That's a catchy slogan for the police. They should run with it.

That’s not part of the narrative

Because they didn't do nothing.

A lot of them for the most part accepted Democrat Leadership to fend for them.

They have been trained to hate law enforcement by the media and democratic government.

You criticizing their culture man....cause it sounds like you're criticizing their culture.

They need to keep statistics on how many people were shot or killed when NOT resisting arrest.
My guess is that it would be near zero.

Well, it's easy to forget Floyd. I mean, he only had 5 funerals.

This guy obeyed law enforcement:

But it’s worse than that. They are taught...taught to resist, scream they’re being hurt, can’t breathe etc.

Instead of being taught personal responsibility, black people today have been told their whole lives that everything adverse that happens to them is the white mans fault. We are witnessing the fruits of that upbringing.
