Someone pointed out to me recently that...

What if the reason black people tend to get shot a lot is that they're always reaching for their sagging trousers and the cops perceive it to be reaching for a weapon?

Edit: This was the post

The solution is obviously Velcro trousers that break away and fall off when the person wearing them starts running. If you're serious about resisting arrest properly you'll buy some.

WHY DONT THEY JUST WEAR A FUCKING BELT?

[–]Thendofreason 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They do wear a belt. They wear one so they can keep it at their knees

Or better yet, pants that fit in the first place.

It's not about resisting arrest.

It's about adjusting their trousers in any situation.

Then the solution is obviously transparent trousers so the police can see the person wearing them is not concealing a weapon.

You realize how racist that theory sounds, right? I know tons of white people who have sagging pants. Hell, once upon a time, that was me.
