To Drunk But Otherwise Innocent-Black Man

If in your sleepy & drunk state, you do grab his TASER before he does do what he threatened - taser you - keep running. Do not look back.

I do not condone the death of an "otherwise innocent black man", Anil, yet I also do not condone the behaviour of those who disrespect and disobey the law. As we well know, a tiny spark is enough to start a fire! ~ Regards & Peace // paul

Yes, we MUST de-escalate & choose non-violent protests. In my other response to you Dear Apostle, - I prefer the topics we enjoyed before May 2020 - death is so final. That is why I put the onus on the professionalized Police service. Judges have roles; police are not public executioners. A democracy has to do better than Banana Republics. Prayers go on daily
