Again with the generalizations, this time referring to blacks. There are blacks who comply with the police and nothing happens. How do you quantify how many blacks actually feel the way you describe? Secondly, if someone is running away, the officer is less likely going to panic because in this context, the one running away is not the aggressor. This is different in a scenario where a person charges at an officer with a knife, where the knife wielder is indeed the aggressor. There are also rules that prohibit officers from exercising excessive force and if excessive force does occur, then that officer will be put to court. |
Yes, and I said they might panic, I didn't say they will panic.
And yes, there are rules that are supposed to prohobit them from using excessive force, but not every police officer has a body cam so we don't always know when police brutality occurs.
