No harm, no foul.
I did see the value of the question you asked so I chose to respond. There does need to be a plan. And it needs to come from respected, influential members of the community. I can see and appreciate the hesitation for leaders of the black community to speak the wisdom of obeying authority when that goes against many of their elders and the common message throughout their upbringing that you can't trust police. But someone needs to speak up and lead them by saying the alternative to trust doesn't mean disobedience. Disobedience leads to more distrust on both sides and that leads to chaos and, sadly, tragedy.
I don't know a single person that owns or carries a gun, including many cops, that looks for an opportunity to use their firearm for any reason outside of recreation. It's a tool, meant to protect, not a weapon, meant to harm. That difference in mentality is a huge gap in communication, understanding, and trust that has to be bridged in order to change the course. That message is much harder to hear, and deliver without strong leadership and personal responsibility.
