It's not a black problem...it's a white behavior problem

@Spacekatgal: All white people should read hashtag #IfIDieInPoliceCustody - it's shocking. This isn't a black problem, it's a white behavior problem.

Are you freaking serious?

Maybe I'm missing the point but how is it the fault of all white people that (some) black people feel like the cops are out to get them? A good number of the "brutality" stories I've read involve people that have been involved in criminal actions or they pulled an attitude with the cops when they were stopped.

You wouldn't tolerate someone coming into your place of employment acting like that, the cops shouldn't be expected to deal with that crap either. Cooperate when an officer stops you. They are doing their job. They have to be extra suspicious to avoid letting potential criminals stay on the street.

Unfortunately, there will be profiling based on the area they patrol, their experience, etc. In some areas the most suspicious people might be black men. In others, it could be white women. It all depends on what activities occur in that area.

Not all cops are out to get you. Some may be. Some may be racist but disrespecting them and acting like a complete ass won't get you ahead and will only make the cops more suspicious and angry.

How to Not Get Arrested
1. Don't break the law
2. Cooperate with law enforcement
3. Don't behave like an ass
