Why didn't Philando Castile fear the cops?

How well do young black men know the cops?   What is their model.

We hire cops on the cheap, we don't care if they are a bit careless, because we are careful around them.  If we are not careful around cops then the salary of cops goes way up because all the care is on their side.

Same thing with security systems, they are expensive.  The lock and secure industry alone is a big part of construction.  How do we reduce that cost?  We do some self policing, we keep an eye out in the neighborhood, and avoid stealing from each other..  Then our fixed security investments go down.

So, I tell you what.  Give the black neighborhoods the power to tax and fund their own neighborhood police.  Then they can trade between security costs and better parenting.
