   In a previous life? What is this, the twilight zone?   
      
   You need to think about the employers needs, of course they would want   
   someone who is the best qualified and reliable person for their business and   
   someone who has the best ability to do the job.    
   There is too much focus how things used to be and it is often a hindrance and   
   not within the reality of today.   
      
   DS> GD> Black people wouldn't get killed by a officer's gun, if they would    
   DS> GD> simply comply with Police instruction,   
      
    DS> It is a fact of life for people of color that they are often treated   
    DS> differently from others by police.  There are times when the "police   
    DS> instruction" is absurd.   
      
   One of the reasons they could be treated differently is because they have   
   seen how this plays out time and time again, so of course they would be on   
   the offensive side, if black folks were smart they would realize this and be   
   nothing but respectful.    
      
    DS> There are also times when black people are killed simply because they   
    DS> are perceived as being in a place where they do not belong.   
      
   That is total bunch of liberal BS, if this was the case you would be   
   seeing much more (like 100x) of the havoc you are seeing now.
