Washington • This is a serious question: What can a black person do to keep from getting killed by police in this country?
Driving-while-black has long been potentially a capital offense, as witnessed by the case of Philando Castile, who was shot to death. Driving-while-black got Walter Scott tasered, but it was running-away-while-black that got him fatally shot in the back. Walking-while-black is what attracted police attention to Michael Brown, who was also shot to death. Standing-while-black was enough to get Eric Garner choked to death.
Now it appears that staying-home-while-black is also such a threatening activity that police might kill you for it.
