Quote:True, but they were giving in preconceived notions and reacting to a social system which is increasingly anti-police. The police have greater fear for their safety, therefore they shot faster, therefore people trust them less and attack, and the cops get more paranoid. The cycle is bad.

I believe if anything the victim should have shot the cop if we going off your belief of this social system. Especially seeing how their have been more blacks killed by police then police by blacks.. Hell thats going all the way back to the 1930's.. I believe blacks have greater fear for their safety so they tend to do things irrational in a tense situation.. Like being scared to get down in fear of being shot.."fruitvale station shooting" or putting they hands up and getting shot " Mike Brown shooting" or hell even running away in fear, and getting shot in the back "Nc shooting".. Blacks have many many reasons to be fearful... Now cops will too.
