  2. some black people do not have enough training to simply stand still with their arms over their head, when they caught running from their friend's car with a gun in the driver's seat. instead of thinking they really need their phone too.

  3. is this a matter that the city council believes they should be able to have more accountability control over the police about?

  4. i was taught at a very young age that in order to avoid problems with the police, you should always follow their instructions, say 'yes sir/officer' or 'no sir/officer'. I can not say i always succeeded in that, but i never owned a gun and try to be aware, to the best of my ability, about what i can and can not get away with whatever the circumstances.
