For the part in bold , that's the exact thing i thought .
If a cop points a gun at you , it's pretty easy how not to make him shoot you . Either raise your hands up and stay still or lay down with your hands straight up (movement done very slowly), also say a phrase of the type of i'm unarmed i'm harmless ect (or respond to his questions if he has any) . Obviously if he asks you to move somewhere or do something else you need to be accepting and do what he says . It's pretty easy imho , in this case if he shoots you it's just because he has a grudge against you . Moving around keeping your hands down and talking back are all bad examples of what to do .

Well yes, if the situation is that clear cut. But it often isn't. And unfortunately belonging to a certain ethnic group might make others perceive you as more threatening, whereas belonging to a different ethnic group would make the same behaviour appear less threatening. There can be very unfortunate cases, trust me.

It's a factor. So is the neighbourhood, the way you're dressed and even the day the cop in particular has had so far. Sure, you have the occasional nutcase who shoots people just because they're black (or women or whatever he doesn't like), but in most cases you just can't point to one factor without knowing the circumstances.

It's easy to get shot by a cop if you're black 
I was mostly talking about situations similar to the one posted in the video . It was pretty easy how to behave to not get shot in that case , the cop was actually extremely lenient to his behaviour . A cop will always talk before shooting (there are nutcases obviously , but they are less rare that what some people make them be) , unless he sees you reaching for something in your body , which could be interpreted as reaching for a gun , or go torwards somebody . If you do what he says just as he says , a lot of seemingly complicated situations can be solved very easily .
