Many Young Men Run From Cops Who Are Trained To Be Trigger Happy

Twelve year old Tamir Rice did not run.
After all, he was just "playing in the park" - exactly the way I did at  his age.
When he did not run, a bad cop shot him dead within two seconds of leaving his police car.

When many young men see cops, they run. "Some do it because there are warrants for their arrest. Others because they possess drugs, are seeking a thrill, or are just plain scared. Sometimes people do it even when they have done nothing wrong. Young men in the heavily policed neighborhood where 25-year-old Freddie Gray was chased by the police — and suffered fatal injuries in custody — say running from officers is a way of life... Mr. Gray’s death was among a number of recent cases in which unarmed men, who were either black or Hispanic, were killed after fleeing from the police. Other cases include ones in North Charleston, S.C.; Tulsa , Okla.; and Pasco, Wash. For the nation, those deaths have spurred debate on the use of force by the police, particularly against people suspected of low-level or nonviolent crimes. But for young men in Baltimore, Mr. Gray’s death highlights a sharper dilemma they have long struggled with: Is running worth it?" John Eligon in The New York Times.
