If this was true, would you have survived?

Untrained random civilians encountering cops are supposed to have perfect sefl control. Supposedly trained professionals can be irresponsible, escalate for no reasom, risk others and shoot if they merely feel afraid - regardles of actual danger.

You start asking questions like this and it becomes clear how we voted in the current administration. We spent generations structuring around such buly mentality.

Two cops in a car rolled up and jumped out of the car with guns drawn and screamed at us to put our hands up because we “looked suspicious”.

They then asked us what we were doing, we said “walking home”, and they put their guns away and said “be safe out there, we didn’t realize you were kids”.

Absolutely no idea why it warranted guns pointed at us
