New Jersey schools would be required to teach students how they should interact with police officers under proposed legislation a sponsor says could protect both kids and cops.

As long as they tech them to be properly humble, subserviant and obsequious everything will be fine ...
...teach...
The best way to protect them is to not speak at all. Remain silent.
So the police unionized and that allowed them to take over our large city governments, and now their sister union that took over the schools, wants to train us in proper behavior and attitudes performed when we are in the presence of a policeman.
America and Americans and teachers, and police, sure have changed from my youth.
Just show them this.

Rather than having police stop blowing away innocent citizens, it’s the citizens that need to change their behavior?
Sig Heil!!
unbelievable
When I was a kid, it was the policeman's job to make the public feel safe.
When did that turn around?
You deny that the “public” in certain neighborhoods hasn’t changed?
You're absolutely correct. Officer Wilson should have let Michael Brown steamroll him in the street instead of defending himself.
Given the graduation rates and test scores of the target students (target?), what are the odds of them learning this?
When I was in school the only time we interacted with a policeman is when the nice officer came to our class to warn us about underage drinking.
How times have changed.
This is the kind of training that we teach kids when being threatened by a predator, like bears or a wild dog.
Training like this goes beyond the physical, it also teaches the children what their relationship is to the uniformed city worker, and that has to be an underlying reason for this indoctrination by the left.
It helps shape the perception of the government, and the proper ways you should strive to display yourself to it.
Wow, so you think that is what everyone here has in mind, that doesn’t say much for your grasp of reality.
“When I was a kid, it was the policeman’s job to make the public feel safe. When did that turn around?”
When I was a kid in the 50’s my parents taught me to be respectful of the cops ...
Not training... in the sense of not informing, versus not indoctrinating.. is also a decision.
I think a lot depends on who is doing the training and the details. Unfortunately, with a leftest NEA, I’m pessimistic about that. These aren’t yesteryear’s Scouts... “God and Country.”
I don’t get what’s so odd about this. My dad taught me — if you get pulled over, sit still, don’t be defensive or rude to the officer; keep your hands visible; make no sudden movements. My dad was very sympathetic to policemen — he always said they had the hardest job in the world because you never knew when some idiot was doing to do something stupid. And he was telling me these things in the 1970’s.
When my kids were little, 10-15 years ago, I would drive them to school, and i got pulled over once for speeding (ok, twice). I made a point of calling their attention to how I behaved; that i was courteous to the policeman; kept my hands visible; made no sudden movements, etc. etc.
And I’m a middle aged white lawyer. I suspect that if more parents taught their kids this stuff there’d be fewer people shot by police.
At the same time, however, I have to agree that the Chris Rock video is very very funny, and also completely correct. It’s actually only slightly different in substance from what my dad taught me.
Blah, blah, blah. OK, you who love good government, are you saying that if Michael Brown took this course, he would have behaved politely to the officer?
You might stop licking that boot and ponder that for a while!
Pants up! Don’t loot!
Stay in school kids!
