They have absolutely no way of knowing she is not armed or going to try and harm them in any other way. Failing to comply with simply being asked to step inside makes her a threat!
I completely agree with the peaceful protests before the curfews but it’s time that the chaos and anarchy comes to an end. It’s just got to stop. Ruining the livelihoods and futures of completely innocent business owners and their workers does absolutely nothing for the cause of racial profiling, injustice, and police brutality. Protest until the curfew, then get off the streets and let law enforcement weed out the anarchists and opportunists, then protest until the curfew ends the next day again. Once the anarchists are gone feel free to protest 24 hours a day until change is implemented. Protesting can and should keep going until change is implemented, the rioting and looting has gone on long enough. It needs to end sometime and that time is now.

If there is one thing I learned, and the George Floyd incident displays it perfectly, is that complying with the police is not a guarantee to keep you safe.
There is no wonder why people, especially black people, feel compelled to walk or run away. Honestly, if you are black and complying with the police, there is a chance that you are forfeiting your life or at the very least getting a beating. How do you roll the dice in that situation?
