Good points.

The media have had some stories recently, lamenting how black parents have “the talk” with their sons, about how to deal with the police.

Heck, my own parents had a talk with me. I’m white. But they told me to respect other people, respect authority, and don’t go mouthing off to cops if stopped for some reason.

My point is that many parents, not just black parents, teach their children how to react with police, and also advise them to stay out of trouble in the first place.

But as you point out, many black young men seem to escalate these encounters with police.

Which in turn can lead to tragic consequences, such as with the Michael Brown shooting.

Is anyone else disturbed that the Black Lives Matter movement, got its jump start from the Michael Brown shooting, which was predicated on the lie that Michael had his hands up and said don’t shoot??? When the truth of the matter is, Michael became aggressive with the policeman, and tried to get his gun to shoot the cop???

Anyone else disbursed that facts just don’t matter anymore, at least to liberals pushing an agenda???

You’re exactly right.

It’s the main reason why I don’t give the BLM movement any respect whatsoever.

Those that do, are numbskulls, in many instances giving credence to an organization that would like nothing less than to kill the numbskull.
