Dear, you are going to suffer far worse...as your unfogiving heart twists in pain for as long as you live. You should have told the boy, “stay off drugs and never rush a policeman.”
Seriously! I had liberal white friends who were all fussed about "the fact that black parents have to tell their kids they might get killed by a policeman," and I'm going, "Did your parents not tell you the same thing?"
Growing up, we got constant commercial break commentary of; "Did you see that idiot? That cop is carrying a gun, and for all that guy knows, could be trigger happy. When a cop tells you to shut up, you need to SHUT UP. You'll get your day in court, and even if you don't, at least you'll still be alive!"
Even when I was six, I knew dad didn't really think Reed or Molloy was going to suddenly shoot someone for mouthing off; dad was telling me, in no uncertain terms, what I was supposed to do when dealing with a cop. That's the kind of knowledge and protection kids need, not a one-time "talk" when they're in their teens terrifying them about the evil police out there and how there's nothing you can do about it.
