BLM Violent Hate Group

My guess is that the more interactions you have with the police the higher the chances of police brutality occurring.

Personally I'm not bringing black on black crime into the conversation for the sake of it just to say yeh but look at what black people do.

I'm saying one of the reasons behind an increased rate of police brutality against black people may be in part due to a higher crime, more instances of resisting arrest, and more violence against police from black people resulting in more interactions with the police that turn violent.

Just as a general trend, not to say that no instances of police racism exist or that no completely unprovoked instances of police brutality have never happened.

Do you understand that black men in the US are also routinely stopped for simply walking?

I have two sons....two very shy, extremely nerdy, non-threatening sons who have been stopped by law enforcement in broad daylight while walking to their friend's house to play video games. And on their way to work, in uniform. It's not at all an uncommon occurrence.

Police are initiating the interactions, half the time.

What do you suggest be done to minimize interactions in those cases? 
Never leave the house?

I mean violent interactions, not just being stopped.

I've been stopped and questioned around 5 times just off the top of my head, being questioned over where I'm walking, I've had a police car and a police van swoop in on me because I didn't drive through a traffic light when it turned green quickly enough, questioned over a car robbery while I still had my work uniform on and I was blatantly on my break in work. I've been questioned over a stabbing so on and so forth. I've got a completely clean criminal record by the way.

We're just talking about anecdotal incidents here so I know this proves nothing, but all my friends who got caught by police with drugs or searched extensively were friends who acted like idiots while around the police.
I've been tempted to act like an idiot with the police in times when they've been a bit overly aggressive in questioning me over stuff I've not done but I just keep my cool, and I'm assuming you sons did the same thing? I've not always been stopped with an "excuse me sir" sometimes it's just been " EY! COME ERE NOW!" Which was the case when I was stopped because some sort of stabbing happened in my area.

When the police stopped me for the car robbery near my work and I was on my break, it was when I used to smoke weed and I had a bag of weed and a joint that was in the process of being rolled on the step behind me while I was being questioned by them. It was either out of luck or because I was polite or whatever they didn't ask me to stand up or ask what was behind me.

Also I'm not actually saying there is anything anyone can do about any kind of prejudice any police officer has.
Apart from avoid bad areas, and if you live in a bad area just try and avoid being in possession of drugs or whatever else and try and be polite.

What I would say is that areas with bad crime rates most likely have more police traffic going through and that will account for more interaction. If you go through those areas or live in those areas then you better watch out for the criminals and the police.
