If You Don’t Want Police To Shoot You, Don’t Resist Arrest

You see, unlike those men recently shot, I do not fear for my life from the police. Quite the contrary, my life is made safer by the police who stand between me and people like Sterling, who is much more likely to break into my car or stick me up at night compared to any harm that might come to me from a police officer. The fact is, the police are not shooting black men like me. Why? Because I am not a criminal, and when the police stop me, I politely do what they say, and they leave me alone. I do not run away, fight back, or mouth off. It’s really pretty simple.

Why is no one asking how these men’s families and communities failed them so badly that they became criminals or thugs? If you look up “tough” in the dictionary, my grandmother’s picture will come up. If you were raised under her and acted up, after she got done with you you’d wish the police had gotten to you first. I’m glad my father was raised in such an environment. Discipline happens in the home, and it starts early. When it doesn’t, the police are left to clean up the mess of deeply broken human beings who were already doomed before their first interaction with the law. It’s totally unfair to ask the police to treat hardened criminals with kid gloves.

How did we get here? The Welfare Industrial Complex has produced generational government dependence that has devastated black families and communities and created the criminal underclass of black thugs the police are killing today. I wonder what Black Lives Matter has to say about that? Will they unequivocally call for an end to the welfare, food stamps, and government subsidized housing that have

Those points are noted. But, our Founders would have never tolerated today's militarized police force. No knock warrants, not respecting personal effects, etc. There is legitimate concern about today's’ police forces. And that is not even touching our Federal forces. I always ask would we have let the British act this way?

I’ve been lucky ever since. And never shot at. Well, except the times the VC shore gunners opened up on us while we were lobbing shells them.

The communists in this country would have won long ago if those shore gunners had had better aim. Thank you, Jesus, for sparing JR. His most important battle of a lifetime is the one he is waging now.
