First off, the
same police rules don't apply to us. We are considered the enemy
regardless of the action we take. Cops are always going to be a
little bit more trigger happy than say a white person. They're
looking for a reason to arrest us. Don't give them one.
Don't argue with
them: We'll always lose no matter what. Remember, you're the enemy
in their eyes and want nothing more than to arrest you.
Yes, it shouldn't have to be this way, but this is reality.
It's tragic to
see Sam DuBose get shot and killed like that. But, WE have to be the
ones to control the situation. We have to be aware that at any
moment that cop is going to arrest or shoot you. He probably going
to jail anyway, but he had to power to keep the situation calm by
just complying with the officer. If you were wrongly arrested, sue
them. Don't argue with the officer, because you will never win.
They don't like us. We have to be the ones in control of our lives.
I remember the
process LeVar Burton says he does each time he gets pulled over. We
need to follow this every time.
