Yes, the need for fear of police transcends race. Being run out of a place when in such an already vulnerable/delicate state is "big deal" enough for the person it's happening to. Being arrested and having to worry for what is happening to "your stuff", which is everything you own, is a *very* big deal, and that's especially for me who took the trouble to acquire actually good stuff while I still had the opportunity so that I could maintain a relatively decent standard of (again, relative) comfort, and it would be far from easily replaced (I was a camper/hiker already, with good/expensive gear from REI).

Then there's the fear of being in jail itself, due to the other inmates. I'm not "jail material" at all. I'm not in the least the criminal type, nor a "tough guy", I'm just a person who can no longer afford to live in any sort of standard manner. And regardless of color, if anyone makes the wrong types of moves with the police, or even just what they perceive as such, there is danger of being shot.
