Fifteen years is a long time to spend in jail for defending oneself from a police officer who has an electrocution device in his hand, by taking the device and shocking the police officer. But, many Black people believe it's better to electrocute the officer and take your chances in court than to be electrocuted over and over by the officer and perhaps dying at curbside, without ever seeing the inside of a courtroom first.
Many Blacks believe it's better to fight and live than to acquiesce and die. Perhaps police officers will consider the possibility that the same 50,000 volt gun they use on us may one day be used on them.
