RE: UNplugged Radio Ep.19 - The F@#* the Police Episode

@40m - Yeah, don't hit the brake. =) Just pull your foot off the gas and lower windows (creates drag). Preferably a window where they can't see you are black. =(

@45m - "these people pay your salary"

I don't think they think of it that way. The government pays their salary. There's a psychological effect where the more people that are responsible for a task, the less any one person identifies that task as their responsibility, personally. As a result, nobody does the task or gets credit for the task.

Since the whole country is paying the taxes that pay the cops, to them, it's like none of us are. No single one of us can affect their salary in any way, so why would they care?

@46m - "Lotta black cops in Atlanta"

Do you think these people go in it to "try to fix/help the system" at first? Or are they just looking for power or economic value?

Honest question, no idea.

I have to link this here because it's very relevant. In this video Lil Wayne is talking about never experiencing racism.

I can't find the video, but in another interview he talks about how the black cops seemed more "racist", if anyone was racist, then the white cops. He told the story of how he was shot, and the black cops simply walked right over him and didn't care. It was white cops who apparently were like "Wtf, get some medical care" and saved him.

That may be an inaccurate memory of the story, you might want to look it up.

Oh that's what I forgot to say about the no braking thing. You def don't want to brake... what if you have a tail light out & didn't know? We all know people get killed for having a tail light out :( That should not even be a thing :(

Yep, it's just like they said in the radio show. Braking is seen as an admission of guilt. Better to appear oblivious in most cases.
