This is demeaning and unspecific at worst (despite what you’ve been told, there is no single entity such as “The Ethnic community” as it relates to people who hold shared cultural values or behaviours) and condescending and insulting at best. There are elements of every “ethnicity” (including African-Americans) that push “the envelope”. Whether they “love” to or not seems to me poor and pure supposition. The result, as you put it, is no doubt the partial result of poor exercise of common sense (although this by no means excuses irresponsible killing – I’m not going to tell you whether it was or not), however I think that ultimately, you’re missing the big picture. In any given stress oriented situation there is a ‘stress reaction’, which normally coincides with an influx of adrenaline often followed by a lowering of body temperature. In this instance, experienced both on the part of the ‘cop’ and the ‘civilian’. It seems to me, as you seem to want to be fair and balanced about the whole thing, that while the cop should be entitled to their expectation that their directions be carried out to the letter, the person at risk of getting shot should reasonably be entitled to the expectation that they won’t (get shot / killed) unless… it is beyond reasonable doubt that they pose a threat to the life of another (which, to my understanding, is the foundation for all police training on whether or not it is within a police-person’s right to take a life). I recommend you question some of the language that you use, better aligning it with your arguments. Perhaps it will help support the ‘rounding’ of your contentions and prevent tenuous gaping holes appearing. thanks in advance. bye now.
