So many people of color have lost their lives needlessly due to similar circumstances. It is time to start prosecuting these so called people being scared of black men due their own racism. As a person of color I will never use the assistance of the police regardless of any circumstances I may find myself including potentially losing my life because they might end up killing me anyway. That is how deftly afraid I am of the police and of 'white' people calling the police on innocent black people. God help us.
