    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Stevie Van Zandt

    If you’re a person of color, particularly if you grew up in a bad neighborhood in a large city, it is not unreasonable to be more afraid of the police than of terrorists and mass shooters. Mr. Van Zandt should ask people of color why, particularly young black men.https://twitter.com/StevieVanZandt/status/1211786484421971969 …

    Fascinating. Let me get this straight. You are more fearful of our own police and military than terrorists and mentally ill psychos? https://twitter.com/Lucky1inCle/status/1211784191756648449 …

        This is a lesson that, until fairly late in life, I rejected, even though a friend of mine in graduate school 26 years ago tried to explain it to me. He was African-American, a surgeon, and a PhD student in the lab where I was doing my PhD.

        Growing up white and male and solidly middle class, I had no reason to fear the police. So I didn’t believe him. I’ve since learned to listen better. Not perfectly, to be sure, but better.

        I am a middle class white gal and not afraid of terrorists and mass shooters as much as I am white men! Not you, Dr G

        I have no doubt POC fear cops more than terrorists. It’s rational to fear what threatens your community the most.

        My nephew has nightmares of being shot by the police. It’s real.

        I'm not scared of any of the options thanks to my privilege but if I had to pick one, it would be the police. I encounter them all the time, never the others. Might get hit by a police car in a chase it something.

        I’m a soft-voiced, middle-aged, middle-class white woman. I have felt accusatory dislike & had confrontational verbal responses from police during a routine traffic stop where I was pleasant & polite. If I’m getting that kind of treatment, I can’t imagine what POC get.
