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.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The complete question statement is: Indigenous peoples in the Americas had never eaten pork or beef before contact with European explorers. Which of the following accurately explains why they had not done so?

The answer choices are:

A. Cattle and pigs were considered unclean.

B. Cattle and pigs were found only in Europe

C. Cattle and pigs were too expensive to raise

D. Cattle and pigs were considered sacred

And the correct answer choice is:

B. Cattle and pigs were found only in Europe

Explanation:

Cattle and pigs were not found in the Americas, and Native Americans were obviously unable to consume beef or pork. Native Americans had a mostly vegetarian diet supplemented by hunting or by the raise of animals like turkeys, which were present in the Americas.

The reason for this is that the ancestors of cattle and pigs in the American went extinct shortly after the American continent was populated from East Asia.
