Sounds like a better position to take than assuming a police officer wants to destroy his own life and career to pounce on the opportunity to just shoot a black kid because it appeals to his racist life goals.

It also seems like taking the police officers words have caused me to be right in more circumstances than not -- which for the record, I almost always wait to hear all the evidence, which has saved me from looking like an idiot, unlike all of the BLM clan. Most of you these people have zero idea what they're talking about in regards to being a cop, criminal law, the actual case they're talking about, etc.

For this specific scenario. There also may have been witnesses in this circumstance. Which isn't always the most credible source -- in example, Michael Brown's friend with the famous "hands up don't shoot" hoax when in reality he tried to murder Officer Darren Wilson.

Michael Brown was not the right hill to die on.

This happened here not long ago. Guy was wearing Confederate Flags when he killed Samuel DuBose.

They moved Ray Tensing around like he was a priest to touched too many kids.

the better question, is why is the talk necessary in the first place? why arent they bringing them up to be good law-abiding citizens in the first place, who would put their hands on the wheel and politely comply with officers as a matter of courtesy rahter than because theyre in fear of their life? if a parent has to have such a talk with their child, theyve already failed as a parent.

He's sheltered and just doesn't know. This is probably the first time a lot of white America has even heard of The Talk. It is really great we are getting to a point that race is being spoken about openly, even if some people are kicking and screaming the entire way.

That or he was so ostricized in high school that he never interacted with a normal teenager lol

A serious lack of empathy around here. It is almost like this is a forum full of privileged white guys.

Teenagers obviously know what to do in every situation, all the time, and do not panic when scared because their brains are completely developed and they are basically adults in small bodies.
