Counter-graphics to "Just Obey The Law" meme

I'm really fucking tired of seeing those "If you don't want to get shot just obey the police" memes. Please show me some graphical counterpoints. I don't need articles, just pictures.

Here's a crop of recent facebook memes I've seen being passed around. The ones renamed "Philando" and "hostages" really get at the sentiment you've expressed specifically.

Not memes, but a graphical representation of how many people have been short. You can sort by age, race, etc., but also by "fleeing the scene" or "weapon."

Here's another take from The Guardian.
