I have honestly said the same thing to my white sons when they were old enough to play manhunt with their friends; they should make sure the cops can see their hands at all times. We don’t live in a bad area, but in the end cops want to go home to their families at the end of their shifts like anyone else.
He’s a racist and a communist.
Well, New Yorkers voted for this idiot - they can live with the consequences. I for one have zero interest in visiting NYC - many other alternatives to choose from.
So in a confrontation with a cop, I should NOT reach into a pocket and suddenly produce a metallic/plastic device?
How long has he been sitting on this information?
I pity his son.
And I wonder what useless low-IQ marshmallow major his son will pursue in college?
Never mind, we all know what profession requires the least mental capability.
This man is the mayor of NYC?
Those who live in that city should be ashamed and walk with their heads down for a generation (at least).
If residents of NYC say it’s not their fault, that the city is corrupt; I say it is their fault for not putting an end to the corruption.
Poli-Sci of course.
Nothing but an idiot is in a confrontation with a cop and decides to whip out a cell phone or go suddenly grabbing through the car.
Yep, both hands on steering wheel if pulled over. Difference is we follow the rules so there are few "accidents". They fight the police and then when shot they complain that cops are out to get them - go figure.
Yep, remaining calm and not resisting a temporary detention or arrest (even a wrongful arrest) is the wise way to go. You can fight in court and win but if you try it on the street you will lose every single time.
Ben there and will never go back.
Why some rave about the socialist cesspit is beyond me.
Exactly
That's what court is for.
Don’t worry, the mayhem will start and body bags will start filling up soon enough with this idiot running the city.
Warren should talk to Dinkens about it.
RE: Well, New Yorkers voted for this idiot - they can live with the consequences
Actually, less than 20% of NYC voted for him. The rest simply stayed home.
Reveals Teaching Biracial Son Not to ‘Reach for Cell Phone’ Near Police Officers
Goody for you....So what?
[ Yep, remaining calm and not resisting a temporary detention or arrest (even a wrongful arrest) is the wise way to go. You can fight in court and win but if you try it on the street you will lose every single time. ]
Dittoes on this, with the added side note: When the rule of law breaks down (and we are slowly inching there) and they start rounding up people for no good damn reason, then the ONLY recourse IS to FIGHT IN THE STREETS.
We still have a tenious grasp of the rule of law in this country for now....
Really? Just ask Dillon Taylor. No, wait, you can't ask him. That white boy was shot dead in Utah by a police officer of color around the same time as Michael Brown was shot, for pulling his hands out of his pockets. Surely everyone remembers the intense media coverage and all the white people rioting. Actually, there were no white people, or blacks, rioting over Dillon Taylor.
As other comments on this thread have said, I taught ALL my children to not make sudden moves around police. I have also taught them to leave their hands on the steering wheel until the officer has approached and verbally and visually recognized what they are doing. I also teach them to tell the officer where they will be reaching for the registration, license, and insurance I.D.
What a schmuck DeBlasio is.
