Our sons know they could be the next Michael Brown. But they should never surrender

Check out this pithy comment posted below the article:

Blacks are killed in the same percentages as the crimes are committed by blacks. Same for Hispanics or whites or little gray aliens. If you think any officer has time to think about what color or anything else the perp is while ducking guns, fists, knives, or any other threat your mistaken. Dont want to die then behave, it isnt rocket science. You want respect, earn it and learn to give it as well. I dont know any officer who wouldnt trade his gun for a friend anytime, his vest for sleep without a nightmare and color is not an issue. The color of a cop is varied but his blood is as red as yours.

Nailed it!

Not unless their sons are out there stealing cigars to make marijuana rolls and beating up elderly Indian shopkeepers.

They want it to be a crime to interfere with a criminal on the job

[DJ MacWoW]

Feral professional victims.

[samtheman]

White people shouldn’t get to tell black people what is or isn’t criminal behavior.

I have a black friend who was one of 5 or 6 kids born in the 50's and 60's. Their parents told then if they ever got pulled over or questioned by law enforcement, it was always, "Yes sir" or "No sir."

[GeronL]

lol

[GeronL]

Can we tell them about the concept of “personal space”??

...abandoned malls, boarded-up stores, homes in disrepair, the occasional fast-food place, gas stations and, finally, the Ferguson Market & Liquor store on West Florissant Avenue.

Stop robbing stores, and stores will flourish. Fix up your house, and others will follow suit. Get off your asses and start businesses and stop waiting for the government to solve your problems. Stop using the bottle, joint, and needle as a crutch, and you will start to build a better life for yourself.

Nicely done!

I had 5 kids in the 60s and I told them the same thing.

We’re white.

Your space is my place.

“Our sons”
There’s the problem right there.
Are they truly your sons?..or are they the village’s.
NB: the village could care less about your son unless they can use him for something (dead or alive).

[Ouderkirk]

You gotta fight...
for your right..
to commit robber-rey.

Black racism is tiresome. They hate whites. I get it. They cause all kinds of problems for themselves. I see that all the time. And they blame me. It’s quite boring.

Well said! The train of humankind has chugged steadily forward while some have remained at the station.
