Trying not to be an unarmed person shot by a cop

We need a police force. There will always be people who will not follow the law and enjoy hurting and killing others. The system of checks and balances are not strong enough.  Ongoing education is not mandated. Pay is poor. Because of this, problems occur. The main one being "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

The shootings of unarmed civilians are the topic of conversations from homes to commuter trains, I heard a grown man say the following on the morning train. Many people took to heart what was said.

"Laugh at me if you want to but I will go home without a bullet in me. Protests just make cops angrier. I have a wife and kids who need me. If stopped by a cop for no reason I will do the following, I will have a 'pee-pee' party in my pants and fall to the ground screaming for my mom.."
Soap and water is cheap. I will have attracted attention and increased my chances of going home. Pride only fills a coffin,

I read information from the following links before blogging.  There  are too many stories on the internet. I could have filled over three pages with links. I picked a few.
