    Yeah, resisting arrest turns out to be a bad idea 100% of the time. So why do people do it?

    Because they think that they're about to die.

    Rather than teach people to comply with police, saving lives, they teach them to feel indignant and oppressed, putting lives at risk.NOS4A2

    Don’t worry, Trumps new patriotic conditioning project will set the kid’s straight... or just garner a few more votes from people like you.

    You fill American’s heads with fear and nonsense about being killed by police for their skin color, when they are clearly being killed for resisting arrest. It’s just untrue that people are being killed because they have certain skin colors. These lies are exacerbating the very problem you wish would end.

    They just kind of spontaneously believe it. I dont deal with cops much. Another figure of power is doctors, though. Ive seen doctors try harder to help white people than black ones, so I think I understand what's happening.

    But do I really? I just collect perspectives.

    My comment was directed at @BitconnectCarlos who, among other insane things, is unable to grasp how the state shooting black men is bad, and if this is merely an "opposing opinion" to you, then you are also part of the problem.

    That’s the problem. The mind-state of the doctor or cop cannot be used as evidence. So we cannot know that the doctor treated someone different based on skin color instead of other reasons.

    This was touched on by Bitconnect and myself. Race is a complex issue in the US because race and economic problems overlap. Health issues too: American blacks tend to have vitamin D deficiency. There's a link between that condition and more severe COVID19 infection.

    I think we’ll find disparities between any group—tall vs. Short, fat vs. thin, young vs. old—it’s why medical treatment needs to be tailored to the individual instead of to the arbitrary taxonomies we assign him to.
