Act hinky — get treated hinky.

The cops don’t care what color you are when you make them nervous.

That's a problem. I don't care what cops consider "hinky" - as long as I do nothing to threaten an officer of the law, I expect to be treated fairly and with respect, not shot dead for no good reason. I'll wait until all the facts are in before passing judgment, but from what I've seen of the video so far, the man who was shot did not behave in a threatening fashion.

“The cops don’t care what color you are when you make them nervous.”

Oh yes they do! Our daughter’s BF is from Nicaragua and is of mixed race. He’s an engineer with Apple with a degree from UC Berkeley. He get’s hassled by the cops and merchants all the time for no other reason than his color and his hair. He himself has never been in trouble with the law. So if I understand you “being hinky” is grounds for the “hinky black person” dying. Just dispicable! Try treating people as individuals for a change.

Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue.
