Perhaps I'm oversimplifying, but here's what I thought when this whole thing started:
I'm a white guy. I live in a middle/upper-middle class area with mostly white people.
Most of the cops in our town are white.
So I decide to go down to the convenience store, and I steal a pack of cigarillos (actually, I dont smoke, so it might be some booze).
I leave the store, the storekeeper calls the cops.
Town cops pull up to me walking down the street. Words are exchanged. Then I physically assault the cop and tell him he's a fucking pussy and he wouldn't dare shoot me.
Then I start waking away.
The cop starts chasing me.
So I charge him.
He takes three shots at me.
I stop. Then I decide to keep charging him.
He then shoots me dead.
Now honestly tell me: why did I get shot?
Because this is pretty much what I expect would happen to me if I did all the things this guy supposedly did.
