Do you just close your eyes when there is a post showing statistics that do not back your argument? Why don't you address those?
Minority's races are involved in more crimes. I'll admit that, that's a fact. Should minority's be treated differently or equal?

They should be treated equally and there's no evidence that they aren't. If a white man was being arrested while illegally carrying a concealed gun and resisted arrest while reaching for the gun, I would expect him to be shot just as dead as Alton Stearling was shot.
If you have a small percentage of the population that commits a majority of the crime in this country then you would expect that that portion of the population would suffer the greatest number of deaths by police officers being that they appear to interact with police on a much higher rate. Yet, that's not the case.

Absolutely. He should not have died that day. But did the police need to use force on him because of his actions? Absolutely.

Alton Sterling did not get what he deserved. He deserved to be tackled and subdued, however. It really looks bad on those officers that they (or one of them) used such excessive force.

So even though you admit minority races commit more crimes, when it is pointed out that more whites are killed by cops... You go straight to the "there are more whites than blacks" argument. How does that even make sense? If minority races are committing more crimes, then they are having more interaction with cops and thus should proportionately be killed at a higher rate than whites. Yet this is not what the facts show. So...

All people should be treated fairly
If a person gives off a vibe of compliance /calm, the situation will go smoothly
If a person resists and is combative, the situation will go poorly
The LEO is only human. Despite training, it is hard not to match force with escalating force.
I have a very large physical build. I make a concerted effort to lower my voice and assume passive postures when dealing with LEOs. Once again, it circles back to situational awareness and making good decisions...

It's not whether or not they are actually treated differently but the perception...do women get treated the same by cops? What about an 70 year old vs a 20 year old? The issue is compliance and understanding that keeping it real can get you killed.. You've basically advocated textbook resisting within this thread and you seem to believe it's not.. I was taught at an early age on how to deal with cops.. It's ok not to be hard during that interaction and sucking up your pride is easily worth my life.
