Do police officers scare you or make you nervous?

[BLM4Ari]

I'm black and I've seen police kill black people for no reason or frame them and i don't know they just make me nervous. Anybody else get nervous around them?

[ohshee]

This is a good question I like it

But your answer needs some better honesty
And you need to do more homework on this
The other thing you have to ask yourself is are you being a leader or are you being a follower

If you're being a leader you would do your homework and you would find out the more white people are killed by police and black people
And if you were doing your homework you would put yourself in that police officers shoes with every scenario until you can do either one of those and do it honestly you're never going to get the answer that you want or maybe you will that you will not get the honest answer and that's the most important the truth is the only thing that matters when you ask a question like this and if you can't do or say the truth about it and it's not a good question it's called manipulation instead of doing your homework and finding out the truth yourself like I said this is a very good question it's very powerful question but if you really want the answers you have to be honest about it not just pick one side and try to manipulate people into seeing what you see but if we were all honest about it we would all come up with the same outcome but it all has to be honest before anyting do police officers don't scare me to a point because anybody could have a bad day and one police officer doesn't represent all police officers each police officer is one individual just like you just like me

[ChefPapiChulo]

that was a pretty weird rant.

[Kaamraj]

In the country that I live in, I belong to the elite of society. I worked to get there. But because I belong to the elite of society I am not at all moved when I see the police. I know they will be in my favor, meaning they will be polite and helpful.

[menina]

I do. I'm sorry to break this down for you but many users on here will tell you that there's no reason for a black person to be afraid of the police because they're racist.
But as a black person I know exactly where you're coming from.

When I as younger my grandma always taught me to duck my head down everytime a police officers car passed. So in short words yes I am scared or I worry a lot not because I did anything but because that's the world I was born in.

Just do what the officer says and you’ll be okay. Once you start driving make sure you have your license out on your lap and hands on the wheel once you get pulled over. That ways the officer can see your hands and it’s a easy reach for your license. This goes for all people, but cops are pretty scared when approaching a vehicle most times. If they ask you to unbuckle and step out or for you to reach for an object, tell them “Okay I’m going to reach for the door handle now.” Or just say what you’re about to do and do it calmly. It makes them feel comfortable and they can see you’re doing just what you said. Of course always be respectful even if the officer may be having a bad day. I hope this helps.

"I've seen police kill black people for no reason"

Every time I hear a black person or SJW say something like this ^ they are referring to a case of a black person resisting arrest or an unarmed black person who didn't follow common sense and reached into their pocket or otherwise did something threatening that made the police officers feel their lives were at risk. If I had a dollar for every time I have seen a case like this I'd be a much richer man.

This is one of the problems with modern day liberals. They have pushed the narrative that police target black men more than others and made blacks afraid of the police, but the fact is that's not true at all. Statistics consistently show that the proportion of blacks who are killed while interacting with police is no different than the percentage of whites who interact with police. But you wouldn't know that based on the picture painted by the liberal media, and that is much more harmful to blacks than whites.

[ShadezMcgee]

No, they don't scare me and I have had a few encounters of them being a mixed man who looks more black. Complying and being polite and being honest about why they pulled me over and taking accountability has kept my encounters with them civil and easy, no threats of jail or getting arrested.

Just warnings namely and a couple tickets.

[exitseven]

You watch too much television. I literally know hundreds of cops. None have ever gone out on the street with the intention of shooting anyone. Obama started the hate the cops movement and naturally the fake news went long with it.

[Waldoe]

Police have a horrible Job... They do the thing that everyone needs and no one likes... Every Cop I have ever met has been a "Dick-head" even their wives leave them, Ego's OUT OF CONTROL... They think every word out of their mouth is a "COMMANDMENT FROM GOD" well it isn't

[Shamalien]

Yeah I get nervous around power hungry assholes who think they have the right to initiate violence against innocent people

fuck the police and no I’m not a leftist, a town sheriff who actually protects people is a different story, the police I’ve met in my city are fucking assholes

[Anonymous]

The only time I feel uncomfortable around police officers is when I have a guilty conscience.

Why? Because I don't do anything stupid that would put me at risk or make them feel like they are at risk. I always do what they ask me to do... I move slowly, keep my hands in their view and never give them a reason to feel threatened by me. You'd think that would be obvious, but to many (mostly blacks, it seems) it apparently isn't obvious at all.

[Agape93]

No, at best they irritate me and otherwise I just flat out don't trust them.

[Sixgunsound]

Government thugs with the power to execute at will whom also have legal immunity if they do so should scare everyone regardless of identifying characteristics.

[ManOnFire]

I'm black and they don't make me nervous. But you should be nervous if they pull you over, anything could go downhill from there.

[Bob92220]

I don't. But if I was Black (or any race for that matter) and into crime, I would get very nervous when I see the police.

[HighValue]

No, but it is best to have a security door on the house in case of intentional swatting calls or mistaken addresses.

[globetrotter22]

Have you personally witnessed a police officer murder a truly innocent black person (who wasn’t armed and wasn’t resisting arrest?).

[jamesgoldman]

No
I need them in this business they keep me informed about anything hot on the market not that anything has ever turned up thankfully

[loveslongnails]

If I were black and lived in a larger city, I'd be very afraid. I'm middle aged, white and live in a smaller town, and even so I don't like them, generally speaking.

[Dargil]

Fewer Black people are killed by police than people who are hit by lightening.

[jshm2]

No.

There are good and bad people in every career path.

[Andres77]

Troll...

[jahaims]

In general no. It is on an individual basis and how they interact with me. If they are stupid or aggressive I would be nervous.

[MrTaboo]

Statistics do not suport your claim.

Or, were they comiting a crime and got shot? And you don't see a the crime, just the consequences of their actions.
