“While Crump cites the case of “loosey cigarettes” as his argument — there had been a case on Staten Island where someone resisting arrest for selling “looseys” was overly restrained and died”

“I don’t know what it is, but black people just do not want to do what they’re told by police,”
Black children learn early on that if you do what someone else tells you to do, then you’re their “bitch.” Throw into that view the other thing they’re taught, which is racism and being a victim and you get men who culturally are prevented from cooperating with authority.
I was talking to an employee at the local YMCA. They had a number of programs for small black children. She told me that they only hired blacks to watch the black children because the black boys would not do anything a white told them to do. But black boys were terrified of black men fearing that if they disobeyed, they’d get the “tar beat out of them.”
The law goy Eric Garner killed.
