you could curse a police officer out, kick their car, throw a temper tantrum and throw trash. and that still doesnt mean they get to kill you. what the fuck is wrong with yall? why do you think police get some special license to kill when they get disrespected?
if they cant do their job without murdering unarmed people, they dont deserve their badge, or anyones respect.
armed or unarmed, though– that’s why police are supposed to try to deescalate situations with potentially armed citizens. there’s a lot of bullshit that gets reported about armed black citizens that isn’t even TRUE. and given the racist, anti-black nature of many state-sanctioned murders, it’s unsurprising that a black citizen might be armed– simply because cops shoot first, cover later… if they even give an excuse at all. read: korryn gaines. feeling a need for protection when officers come into your home unannounced, as a black woman, is not a fault. it’s no reason for her to be dead, and for her child to be shot.
