“Well, for one, “The Talk” should include a little caution, such as, “Don’t physically confront a policemen, don’t resist an arrest by force, and expect to die if you resist with a gun in your hand.”
Ever notice that all the talk about how the cops need to be trained in de-escalation and understanding the community, never includes the need for training the ghetto dwellers not to commit crimes, control their behavior and not escalate the situation in the first place? We also never hear the media discuss stopping the race baiters from convincing blacks that its racism everytime you get stopped for traffic offenses or otherwise breaking the law? Its the freaking media, the race agitators, and Ob@stard that work these people into a frenzy in the first place.
You’re right; while an innocent black man is occasionally killed by cops, that happens to whites as well - and very rarely in both cases. The focus is always on the cops now instead of the ferals instigating the interaction with their (usually violent) crime.
It is amazing the different viewpoints on the news networks; Fox is focused on five dead cops in Dallas, while MSNBCNN is fixed on the two blacks killed by cops. One was definitely not innocent, and now cracks are appearing in the story that the second was. There really are two mutually exclusive Americas; one that pays police to enforce laws (sometimes imperfectly) and the other that views the police as a barrier to a completely lawless, immoral existence...

LOL. You nailed it.
A black woman friend once regaled me with tales of being pulled over for DWB (Driving While Black) in small, semi-rural “redneck” towns.
Actually, she was ticketed for speeding. Repeatedly. And arrested once, for open alcohol container, expired license, and resisting arrest.
I tried to explain that on the open highway, the posted speed limit is 60 or 70 mph, but when you approach a town (any town, with traffic, red lights, schools, etc) the speed limit goes down, to 50, then 40, then 30. So you gotta obey the signs, which are there for everyone’s safety.
When you get to the other side of the town, I told her, notice the speed limit starts going up again. So, then it’s ok to speed up again.
No, no, no. She insisted that whenever she approaches a “redneck” town, with “racist, redneck cops” she always speeds up instead of slowing down, in order to get outta the town as soon as possible! Because she KNOWS they be looking to pull her over for DWB! So they can beat her to death in jail because that’s what they do!
So IOW the cops need to be trained to understand — and accommodate —
black folks’ self-defeating, upside down mentality. And cops must never, ever pull over a black person. For any reason. Because that’s racist.
