Re: “Iffen he wasn't doing anything wrong he had nothing to be afraid of.”
I don't buy into that line of thought. I've heard it too many times with regard to my own practices - why I cover my laptop camera, why I turn off my Amazon Echo's mike when I don't need it, why I don't want to register certain possessions, why I won't carry a smart phone. It's usually libtards who argue "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you've got no reason to worry." My answer to them is, "YES I DO. I DON'T WANT TO HELP THEM FRAME ME FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO."

You see, if the authorities want to get you dishonestly, it really helps if they know all about you: Where you hang out, who you associate with, when you've been to certain places, what you own, etc. I have long since outgrown the childish notion that authority figures are necessarily friends - and there are others whose distrust goes well beyond mine. If I was the "Hotlanta homey" in ribit's story, it might have crossed my mind to run. What if the cops intended to arrest me and plant drugs or drop a gun? If that's what a person has come to expect of police, then running is rational.

the question begs, why was he running from the cops?

Iffen he wasn't doing anything wrong he had nothing to be afraid of.

Even if he was doing drugs he still had nothing to fear. All that would happen is he would get detained and taken to the local jail.. He'd still be alive and possibly have a future afterward. Outside of the drug world.

And yet, these drug users are the people that all these youngsters idolize. Wonder why rampant illegal drug use is so high?

This is pathetic... and sad at the same time.
