Another thing to remember if your don’t want to get shot by the police...
Don’t assault them in their own car and say “What the f— are you going to do about it?”
Another thing to remember if you don’t want to get shot by the police...
Don’t grab the officers gun and say “you are too much of a p—- to shoot me.”
Another thing to remember if you don’t want to get shot by the police...
If you DO get shot, fall down. Don’t run off - change your mind - and come running back again to get shot a second, third, fourth, fifth and even 6th time.
LOL.
Great summary.
stay in your car with your hands on the wheel.
When the cop was done, he told me that he wished more people did that, at night, just adds to his sense of calm. I live in a very low crime area of SoCal, but I figure anything that calms the LEO, is good for me, as well. Thanks.
Maybe Mr. Howard can write another equally great article for black Americans....

Hey ....it’s Deadspin’s token black guy to write on all things black in an effort to help their hipster, white readers deal with their guilt.
Thank You.
If blacks - AND WHITES TOO - would only practice common sense and put into play these tried and true successful points, we all would be better off.
Look, I’m not defending the trigger happy cops here. I know there are way too many donut munchers ready to shoot or flash bang anything that moves. But they are a byproduct of our uncivil society.
Based on the ghetto trash antics that happen 24/7, I’m actually surprised at the RESTRAINT most cops show and JUST HOW FEW people (black and white) are actually shot by the police.
My cousin was a patrolman, and told me there were innumerable people who would keep their wallets in the glove box, or on the floor, because they got tired of sitting on it on a long drive. Big mistake, from his point of view, to be reaching under the seat or into the glove box as he was approaching the car.
He never shot anyone, but was properly nervous having lost a buddy killed on duty. The driver reaches under the seat, his gun is drawn.
” I know there are way too many donut munchers—————”

Stereotype much ?
.
Cops shoot very few people, in actuality.
My concern about policing is how it is targeted. I see it focused on raising money for the welfare state from law abiding folks attempting to legally go about their day. Crooks always get off. That’s my experience and observation.
The extreme interactions are rare, and I’m willing to look at each individually. Most are good shoots, some are bad.
We had a bad shoot in Tacoma and the cop got off scot free. Makes me sick. Sometimes I think I should go hire a lawyer and crusade after the bad shooting cop. But then I’d have to move states, probably. So the cop gets off with not so much as a slap on the wrist. Cripes.
I don’t recall where I read this but it’s pretty easy to know why so many black thugs have problems with police, and, get shot. It’s because whites do illegal things behind closed doors. Blacks are out on sidewalks at all hours drinking and making a ruckus.
I was detained by several officers one night at a local night club. I pretty much did the things they suggest in this article such as telling the officers that my id was in my right rear pocket and asking if it was ok to reach for it. I moved slowly and always kept my hands where they could be seen.
The issue was resolved when I showed proper ID. I learned they were BOLO for an escaped murderer who I resembled. They were very nice and even put out an alert to all other officers that they should be aware that I was in the area and matched the description.
I am white and I’m not stupid.
I understand. I keep my hands off other people’s property. I do not fight with the police. I obey the law and if a police officer tells me to do something, I do it. Doing that has kept me in good stead for 75 years.
“How To Not Get Shot To Death By A Police Officer...”
If you don’t want to get shot by a rogue police officer or a federal government fascist goon, get off your butt and elect a pro-2nd amendment, Constitutional sheriff in your county. This sheriff has the legal and armed muscle to make your community safe for normal citizens.
Just the facts...
I re-read it, and its a good article. Humorous in a gallow-humor sort of way.
