I know people mean well when they talk about being extra careful around cops etc.
but black people don't get shot because of carelessness or rudeness or whatever.

they get shot because they are black and because cops have no accountability whatsoever.

so asking black people to be careful, does not in any way really help them, since they have never been the real problem.

Racism, lack of accountability, powerful people closing ranks, prosecutors who need to remain on good terms with police departments, those issues are the problem.

15. Any time, ANYONE is stopped by the police, the following etiquette should be observed:

1) Be polite
2) Keep your hands at the 10 and 2 position on the steering wheel unless otherwise instructed
3) Answer questions with "Yes sir", "No sir", "Yes ma'am", "No, ma'am"
4) This varies state to state. If the state you're stopped in requires you to inform the officer you have a firearm, do so. Tell the officer where the firearm is but DO NOT move your hands from the steering wheel. If the state does not require you to inform the officer, answer honestly if he/she asks. IF the firearm is in the center console and the officer asks for documentation and your wallet is in your right back pocket (for women the purse is on the passenger seat), inform the officer the firearm is in the center console and you have to move your arm in that direction to get what he/she is asking for. Let them decide what you need to do.
5) Provide all required documentation. Insurance, license, ccw permit if you have one, registration
6) BE POLITE and DON'T argue.
7) Most (not all) confrontations begin when the subject of the traffic stop adopts an attitude (which only escalates the confrontation). Resist this urge. (See numbers 1 and 6).

Anyone, white, black, brown, yellow, red or whatever, that follows these rules, the chances of you getting shot by cop is next to zero.

That's my experience. YMMV.

18. Why does that matter?

I wasn't relaying anything personal that happened to me, just rules to obey during a traffic stop.

It's all about being polite and following instructions. Look upthread for a video.

20. Because you are generalizing from your own experiences to that of others

So I'm wondering if your experiences with cops is actually relevant.

22. I'm not generalizing anything from my experience

I've never been stopped by the police in my life but I drive like an old fart and obey traffic laws.

I simply relayed rules to follow to avoid a violent confrontation during a traffic stop.

Nothing more, nothing less.

43. With all due respect

I'm trying to help people get out of a situation should they find themselves in one, and all I get is an argument.

I'm not placing blame on anyone. If, however, people develop an attitude, argue, and refuse to comply with officers instructions, well, that's on them. What happens, happens.

I don't care one way or the other.

35. My skin color doesn't matter

I obey the law, don't speed, stop at stop signs, don't drive with lights out (headlight or tail light). I give them no reason to stop me. IF they did, however, I'd obey my rules.

In a way that it didn't protect Tamir rice or many other black kids.

It's alright, I'm white too. We tend to think it's all equal out there because skin color is typically not an issue that works against us.

52. You literally said "That's my experience" in your list of rules.

And it assumes the cop is ALWAYS well-behaved and well-intentioned from the start.

Some people get shot by the police before even getting to step 1 in your list.

Which of those rules did Tamir Rice break?

33. It's up to you whether or not you follow them on a traffic stop.

Argue with the police if you want, develop an attitude if you want. Personally, I don't care either way whether you go to jail or not. None of my concern.

But if you want to significantly reduce your chances of something bad happening, they should be followed.

These rules were taught to me when I took my conceal carry class many lifetimes ago.

49. You keep using that word "rules" --they aren't RULES.

if they were rules, people have to follow them.

they would be codified.

you lose. bad post. you're just blah blah blah blah blah white person says this is how to have a good interaction with the police.

and then the people who aren't white thank you profusely for explaining this to them because because how on earth could they think of the "rules" that you wrote without your help?



i also know you're white because you think that what you have to say is valuable here because you thought of it.

54. It's victim-blaming at its worst, and assumes the government is ALWAYS right and polite.

And ignores the countless times when a white person breaks every one of those rules and manages to avoid getting killed.

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The very best outcome of being an ass with police is having a bigger dent in your wallet.

The very worst is TNBing and you get shot.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Black people don't need to exercise common sense during encounters with law enforcement, they are protected by black privilege:

I'm a white guy and if I told a cop to suck my d**k, I'd be spitting teeth.

Common Sense Rules can still be called rules without being written down and signed into law.

OTOH, most liberals have only a passing relationship with common sense, and DUmmies have less.

Hi5 for sayimg what I wanted to say. It's apparent that the DUches have never read the definition of 'common law':

http://thelawdictionary.org/common-law/

Specifically...
Quote
it is a body of rules and principles, written or unwritten, which are of fixed and immutable authority, and which must be applied to controversies rigorously and in their entirety, and cannot be modified to suit the peculiarities of a specific case, or colored by any judicial discretion, and which rests confessedly upon custom or statute, as distinguished from any claim to ethical superiority.

Just because it has never been written in law, does not mean it does not have legal bearing. And its obvious these DUches have never heard of the 'Big four' rules of gun safety:

1. Treat every weapon as if it was loaded.

2. Keep your booger hook off the bang switch (Keep your finger off the trigger until on target and the weapon is off safe.)

3. Never point your weapon at anything you do not intend to destroy.

4. Know your target: know what's in front of, around,  and behind it. 

Violate one of those four 'rules' creekdog DUche, it will be a BAD DAY.
“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms”

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Posting common sense among fools is a lose-lose-lose proposition:

* The one posting the common sense gets called out for "blaming the victim";

* The fools do not become wiser;

* The likelihood of the fools themselves becoming "victims" is increased.

Admittedly, that last "lose" could be considered a Darwin-Award-grade "win".
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?
