This is a very interesting and personal subject. It is kind of subjective, but I will provide a few reasons.

Reasons:

His appearance ( he was black and big, exactly 350 pounds and 6ft 3, of course the cop probably assume a he was a thug)

The cigarettes: ( a black guy selling cigarettes could be selling drugs or anything else. The police probably overestimated what the guy could be doing since they really didn't know. )

The report: anyone could have reported Garners presence infront of a beauty supply store because they were suspicious or found him a threat. Police often act off or reports instead of having the patience to watch observe and investigate. They probably already had stereotyped him as a person that was dangerous.

How did Germany respond to the Treaty of Versailles?
ipn [44]
The Germans reacted to the Treaty of Versailles with horror and outrage.

Feelings of injustice: The German leaders did not feel that they alone had caused the war. They felt that they should have been involved in treaty negotiations.
Reparations: Many Germans felt that these were unfair and that Germany could not afford to pay as its economy had been crippled by the cost of fighting the First World War.
Loss of territory: The loss of territory was deeply resented by the German people. Some Germans were now living in countries ruled by foreign governments. The Saar, an important industrial area, was now controlled by the League of Nations but had effectively been taken over by France.
The League of Nations: Germany felt further insulted by not being invited to join the League of Nations.
Military terms: The Germans felt that an army of 100,000 was too small for a country of Germany's size. The army was a symbol of Germany's pride.
War guilt cause: The Germans did not believe that they alone were responsible for the outbreak of the First World War.

How did the us win the war at home
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

It all depends on what war you are talking about. America has been in many wars, however; it is debatable about how many were actually on American soil... Many wars were fought in America like the- Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, Civil War, even WWI and WWII were partially fought on our land. All of these wars were won by America because we had more military power and more allies to help us when we needed it, we also had enough factories during those times to provide military weapons to supply our military.
