Avoiding death by police is simple
It seems so simple really. If you are stopped by a cop, (and i have been) and he/she says something like “get out of your car,” then get out of your car. If you are asked to stay in your car, then, stay in your car. It’s that simple. To do otherwise can cause you a heap of trouble.
I guarantee if you obey the law enforcement officer, you will not be shot. Anarchy is what we’re talking here. We are a nation of laws. We must obey the law.

U.S. faces momentous decision Nov. 8
In November, Americans face a momentous decision regarding the direction in which we take our country. On the one hand, we can decide to follow a progressive agenda aimed at helping all Americans with inclusive policies that encourage growth with equality. On the other hand, we can revert to isolationism that rewards the rich and marginalized the poor and minorities in our society. No matter what we think of the personal traits of the candidates, it is the policies, programs and actions they take that will directly impact us all. Our choice should be made on sound reasoning and clear thinking about how they will govern, not how loudly or bombastically they extol their own virtues or mock their opponents. And in the final analysis, we need to remember the position of military control that we will give one of these candidates. That could determine the very future of our world. So regardless of what our biases, we have to think very carefully before casting that vote. It is clearly a choice of going forward positively into the future with Hillary, or going backward negatively into the past with Trump.
