It's astonishing that Scientific American is having to publish an article on How Not To Be Killed By The Police, but here it is (www.scientificamerican.com)

There's a post going around lib spheres with a text image saying like "If anyone is violent while you're protesting peacefully, everyone sit down and go silent, it will be a powerful image and will isolate the violent agitators." Great idea, let's just put our heads exactly where the police are aiming already and stay still. At least most comments seem to be deriding anyone that posts it, like how can anyone at this point believe they won't just shoot you anyway.

Lib: "It's like if a black bear is about to attack you - play dead that way—"

Leftist: "No. That's wrong. If a black bear charges and attacks you - fight back with everything you have. Do not play dead. Anyway - who cares. This is downtown LA and those are cops not bears. Still - maybe there's a lesson to be learned here."

Lib: "You interrupted me. You are rude and I don't like you."

Leftist: "Okay, okay. Carry on."
