See, I don't know if I agree with dude's tactics 100%. Just to give an example. About 7 Years ago I'm walking on Franklin ave near union st. I'm wearing a black hoodie, a fitted. . . Typical ghetto wear. Some cops (2 white boys) drive up beside me and asked me straight up, did I shoot anyone in the last few hours. Of course, I tell them no. They ask me if I would mind lifting up me hoodie to reveal my waistline. I comply. He tells me that he doesn't mean to bother me, but a woman was shot no too long ago near St. Johns and the perp was wearing a black hoodie. I tell him that I'm sure he's just doing his job, but it was not me. He says if it were your mom who was shot, I'm sure you'd want us out there working hard to find out who did it too. I agreed. He told me to have a good evening and drove away. I wasn't scared through the ordeal.
Now, say I went the route suggested in the video. I don't think it would have worked out that well for me. Don't make a tense situation needlessly MORE tense. My defense in those situations is my ability to articulate well. To even empathize. In my mind, I think to myself if I were a cop trying to find the dude that shot this woman how would I go about it? What would convince that someone is NOT the perp? Then I use that mentality as my defense. Now, ofcourse those cops could have been lying and were just trying to catch a black man walking around with a gun, but I have no way of knowing that.
