I am curious to know what you think about the high incidence of black men being beaten or killed by police. Do you think that black men would not get beaten or killed by police as often they do if they'd only stop "resisting" arrest?
The reason why I ask this is because in my area, a few days ago, Demetrius Tillman Nelson, age 44, a black man, made the mistake of pulling over into a parking lot shopping area. His car had ran hot and he was arguing with his girlfriend. Police came over while he was under the hood. They said he became incoherent and aggressive and thus, they had to shoot him with a taser gun. They shot him with it repeatedly until he collasped and died 15 minutes later. The 2 deputies have not been suspended and are working their normal shift. At the time of this incident, they were both working "off duty" as security guards for Destin Commons. Demetrius was on his way from Panama City to Pensacola when his car overheated, forcing him to pull over into the Destin Commons parking lot.
They said because he became incoherent and aggressive, it was necessary to subdue him with taser shots.
What do you think? Do you think that black men just have a bad habit of putting their self in a bad position with police or are some police just plain trigger or baton happy and looking for an excuse to "vent" on a black person?
