Listen and learn, and you just might live.
Whether the folks in blue are racists, is a matter of circumstances.

But directives are commands to follow.
Stop-very direct.
Like a parent stating it to you.

Disobey and you know the consequences.
So, you a suspect?
The command must be different.

Halt-very to the point.
There are no optional choices.

Put your hands up.
A protective device is required for two-way protection.
A safety precaution.
And any slight move might get you level with lead.

So listen and learn and you just might live.

Confrontation, with them in blue.
Make the situation change to a different perspective.

In this case, all involve lives matters.

Same, with mental illness.
Cops, not experts in this matter.
And if you are truly concern gather your family members and handle it.
