Here are a few do's and don'ts to help people of ALL colors to avoid a fatal run in with the police. Unscientifically, I suggest these rules will be way more than 99% effective:
1. Don't be a criminal.
2. Especially don't be a career criminal.
3. Don't be known to the police as a violent and dangerous person. "Armed and dangerous".
4. Don't be involved in illegal activities.
5. Don't be a drug user.
6. Don't be a drug addict.
7. Don't be a drug dealer.
8. Don't associate with drug addicts and dealers socially.
9. Don't possess illegal weapons.
10. Don't shoot illegal firearms.
11. When police stop you and question you be courteous and polite.
12. Don't go full asshole cursing and berating a cop who has the audacity to stop you.
13. If you're being arrested, cooperate peaceably.
14. If you're being arrested, don't resist physically.
15. If being questioned or arrested, don't assault the police.
16. Don't brandish and threaten cops with weapons, be they knives, firearms, or other weapons.
17. Don't assault and steal or try to steal the cop's weapon.
