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.

vivado [14]

Answer:

The export of cotton increased by 50% between 1800 and 1860.

Explanation:

Whitney's cotton gin model was equipped for cleaning 50 pounds of lint every day. The model comprised of a wooden chamber encompassed by columns of slim spikes, which pulled the build up through the bars of a brush like network. The grids were firmly divided, keeping the seeds from passing through. Loose cotton was brushed off, preventing the mechanism from jamming.

HELP! 9.)In India, what was Gandhi's original focus to fight against? a.) British control of salt production. b.) the ban agains
aev [14]

The correct option is D

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was the most prominent leader of the Indian Independence Movement against the British Raj, for which he practiced nonviolent civil disobedience, as well as pacifist, politician, thinker and Indian Hindu lawyer. He received from Rabindranath Tagoreel the honorary name of Mahatma.

From 1919 he belonged openly to the front of the Indian nationalist movement. He established novel methods of social struggle such as the hunger strike and in his programs he rejected the armed struggle and carried out a preaching of the ahimsa (nonviolence) as a means to resist British rule. He defended and promoted widely the total fidelity to the dictates of the conscience, even reaching civil disobedience if necessary; In addition, he fought for the return to the old Hindu traditions. He corresponded with León Tolstoy, who influenced his concept of nonviolent resistance. He was the inspiration for the march of the salt, a demonstration across the country against the taxes to which this product was subject.
