you're incorrect in the comparison of police versus someone you live with and so is @Fogdog.

i was talking about what worked for me when caught in a speed trap in my town at 2 in the afternoon to get my nails done..how this is not limited to minority populace.

what struck me as deficit which could've prolonged mr. floyd's life in today's climate 1) kept talking 2) 9 minutes no one called for LEO supervisor..precincts around the corner could've been there less than a minute.

is it right he shouldn't talk? no- i'm again talking about self-preservation..the goal is to leave with your life.

PS saw 'hope ad fury' last night about mlk and segregation? they had real problems and i was really scared watching that old footage..crazy hate.

At one level, you are right in that one is at times forced to do whatever they must to survive a brutal cop or wife beater. That's a personal decision. It's not your place to judge.

This doesn't change the facts. Abuse is always the fault of the abuser. That cop did not have to do what he did any more than tty had to abuse his whore-girlfriend. Also, you know from direct experience that your prescription to submit to an abuser simply perpetuates the abuse.

It's all off topic anyway. This is about racist cops who go off and kill black people for no good reason. It's not always about what the white woman wants. Black people are five times more likely to be killed by cops than white people. That's unacceptable. We aren't settling with the idea that it's simply too hard to end. Riots in the streets right now say that better than I do here.
