Spare the rod and spoil the child.

Now that's "Keepin' It Real."
Can you imagine the results? Kid get's shot for RWM (Running While Moron), riots nobody would call riots where no deadly force was used on looters, they burned their own businesses out of their own neighborhood, free TV's for all, whining about the "cops shooting our babies", several "civilian oversight commissions" put in place by the InJustice Department to make the Rhyming Reverands happy, cops cut back on pre-empting crime and just start showing up when called because they are afraid of getting sued, the [black male] homicide rate goes from 10 in a year to 50, druglords move in because they know the cops are hamstrung by whining civil rights nannies, and a bunch of national chain stores moved out of the neighborhood, including food stores. Hey guys, looks like those free TV's were pretty expensive, eh?
As far as the GJ goes this was a police officer killing what I ASSUME was a black man in a 90%+ black neighborhood. Just TRY being acquitted under those circumstances...
In the 1960s and 1970s we were given the “Handsome Blackman”, a serious attempt to posture blacks as civilized gentlemen; an effort I applaud even if it did make a slight mockery of itself as “players”.
Today, we have the look of the little black boy who doesn’t even know how to dress himself.
What a difference in a generation.
He was shot dead in the street
his trousers down around his feet
He hemmed and hawed, his pants he pawed
but he couldn’t run before the cop ‘drawed’
He lies on his face now, butt to the sky
cursin’ the fact he didn’t wear button fly.
Mr. Baggy Pants is dead.

ROTFLMAO!!!
I’m just going by what was written as the cop’s story of how it happened.
The perp had been shot at once. Cop missed. Perp ran and jumped a fence, got up and faced the cop and was shot behind the ear.
It sounds more plausible that the perp was running away for the 2nd time after jumping the fence when he was shot.
LOL. I’d love to see that. I mean, I share your deep felt sadness over the pain of this young man.
Backwards ballcaps, another sign of stupidity that crosses all race lines.
I’ve heard it orginated from having one’s belt confiscated in jail.
“there were still fathers in the house for the kids to embarrass on the street, so they wouldn’t allow them to dress like dumb-asses.”
No doubt.
When running from the police, the first thing that some hip-hop thug does is reach down to pull up his rodeo clown shorts. The second thing they do is go tumbling down to the asphalt after getting hit by .40 cal police bullets.
Then give them their belt back. It improves fashion and reduces recidivism by lowering the prison population.
Problem solved.
Staff! I’ m three years from retirement.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
And huge chains. Ironic that some blacks like huge chains considering the relevance to slavery.
I saw a white kid about 12 years old in a store with a bunch of chains around his neck. He was upsetting his mother who snapped, “Don’t you sass me child or I’ll be whipping you with that jewelry!” I answered to her laughing so hard I didn’t think I’d be able to spit it out, “Please do, lady. Here, I’ll give you $20 to do that! Just let me get out my camera for this. I’ll win 10 grand on America Funniest Home Videos!” She laughed, too, then preceded to start kicking her son in the butt with her foot, scooting him out of the store while yollering, “Don’t you embarrass me that way again. I’m gunna whip you like…”
I can see that, especially with the "honor" associated with incarceration. Go figure.
