That's not what I'm saying at all, but go ahead and pretend I did if you think it makes your argument stronger.


Again, I ask you how many of these deaths occurred "mysteriously" in a van after a peaceful surrender as opposed to being shot dead on the street or in the van after a confrontation with the police? Right or wrong, the police have the upper hand in an arrest situation, and the chances of dying at the hands of cop go up exponentially when you decide to fight with one or run from one.





But that's not what you were responding to. He asked you for the numbers to back up your statement and you replied that everyone is innocent until proven guilty....

 

But that is a problem.  We can't just say right or wrong and continue on with our sentence.  The public won't allow it.  Technology won't allow.  Police are going to have to change how they do things or this will get progressively worse.  That is reality.  Cops no longer have the upper hand (at least not completely).  Technology is starting to even things out.  They are going to have more and more trouble getting away with abusing their powers.
