They never said if he was pulled over for a traffic violation or whether he was walking. They showed the
cops talking to him with no handcuffs on and the next thing is he takes off running away.

I can understand why people of color are afraid of cops, but when you run the numbers of how many
people the police talk to every day and how many are killed every day by the cops, statistically the
numbers say you'll go home alive if you don't run away, plus it helps if you're polite.

Cops don't like it when people run away from them, some get real angry, some uncontrollably angry,
don't aggravate them they all have loaded guns. Smile, be nice, no sudden moves and you'll get
home alive 99.999% of the time.
