In order to solve the issue of racial bias in policing, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday, the United States needs to "look differently at race if we're going to change it."...
It also means black people have "got to teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you've got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
White people should recognize that African-American men and boys "have a fear of being confronted by the police because of some of these incidents," regardless of whether some people see it as "irrational" or "rational," he said. The second reality, Giuliani said, is that there is "too much violence in the black community," remarking upon black-on-black violence being a greater danger than police-involved incidents.
"So if you want to deal with this on the black side, you've got to teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you've got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police. The real danger to them, 99 out of 100 times," is "other black kids who are going to kill them; thats the way theyre gonna die," Giuliani said. "Now on the white side, we have to understand whether we get it or not there's an extraordinary fear of the police, and police have to institute a policy of zero tolerance like we did for crime in New York. Zero tolerance. No disrespect."

I told my wofe in no uncertain terms that I WILL NOT be having any such “talk” with our black son, just as my father never had any such talk with me, nor his father with him. Instead I will “talk” to him 24/7/365 about how to be a person of high moral character, with integrity and honesty, who is respectful of all kinds of authority figures in his life, beginning with me, and his mother, and every other adult with whom he comes into contact. THAT message has allowed me 46 years of life in America with zero negative interactions with police officers, and I’m absolutely certain that barring extraordinary bad luck, it will work just the same for him.
Rudy is eviscerating the Hildebeest at the RNC at this moment.
