        If you’re not white, yes, better say your prayers before the cops arrive, even if you’re just chilling there.

        I saw a paper once that your risk of getting shot is inversely proportional to the severity of the situation up to a point.

        Adjusted for frequency you are more likely to get shot during a traffic stop than a armed suspect call because they arrive expecting an armed suspect and act accordingly, every traffic stop could turn into a shootout even if it isnt likely to so they tend to overreact.

        Honestly? In America, if you’re white, you’re probably fine. Black though, evidence and all of American history tells us otherwise. America is racist, and cops seem to be even more so.
