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.

2. Whom did the New Deal help the least? What hardships did these individuals continue to suffer? Why were Roosevelt’s programs
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Roosevelt was accused of Bolshevism by his opponents, and many anti-crisis methods were sharply criticized. They criticized the direction of the New Deal against business; many rightly believed that the new policy hampered the restoration of the economic system. Despite all efforts, unemployment continued to increase: if it were not for the increase in salary costs caused by the New Deal, the unemployment rate in the country as of 1940 would be lower by 8 percentage points.

Ordinary citizens were directly affected by the increase in alcohol duties and wage deductions for social security. Roosevelt further increased the tax burden by raising income tax for individuals and legal entities, excise taxes, property taxes and donated property. He introduced undistributed profit tax. All these ‘requisitions’ led to a reduction in the amount of money that entrepreneurs could spend on expanding production and creating new jobs.
