So when a cop confronts a black male there is a huge chance he's dealing with a criminal. Fact, not racist but fact. Any cop has his situational awareness alarm going off based on cold hard facts. As Crockett noted above his mindset changes.

Adding to this, some states like Florida have a 3 strikes law. So now the cop has to wonder if this confrontation might send the suspect to prison forever. Unless of course he fights and gets away.

I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a cop in todays society when you are dealing with 911 calls and expected to behave like a social worker.

In my opinion cops are just a reflection of who they have to "police" ..... We are getting what we deserve in most cases.
