This is their life. Running away from the cops and feeling invincible until it’s too late - bingo.
A year ago during the first UK lockdown, it was quite sunny and I fancied a beer so I bought myself a can of beer and walked down the street, on my way to the supermarket. I had only taken one sip when two policemen stopped me. They asked me if I knew it was illegal to drink outside along the high street during lockdown. I said no. So they told me it was and then they told me to pour the can that I'd just bought out onto the grass verge. So I did. They didn't fine me or arrest me and that was that.
Too many people have a problem with authority, especially with police authority. And in the US, where cops carry guns, this can lead to bad or sad outcomes.
Clearly, there are issues with trigger-happy cops that need sorting out, but there are also serious issues with lack of respect for authority, particularly within the African-American community. Until these serious issues are fixed, more people will end up being injured or killed at the hands of the police. <--- left-wing morons label this 'institutional racism' but it's not.
