Trust The System!

Watch any of these police shows and you will see it. They, (blacks), disobey more. They run more. They resist more. They argue more. As a result, they get shot more. You would think the blacks would be able to figure this out over time. But as we have seen over time, the blacks aren't much good at figuring anything out. Giving them time, just gives them more time to make matters worse.

The problem is, as you note, within the black community.  From an early age, the kids are taught that white cops shoot black people indiscriminately and with no repercussions, so they are unwilling to stop and drop lest they become another target.  Every time some black criminal is shot, it confirms the reality of this fear.  Since crime is a big employer in the black community, they have a greater opportunity to interface with LEOs.  That invariably leads to more confrontations, more opportunities to resist arrest and attempt escape, and more shootings of young blacks.  Yet, even with the numbers of white cop on black criminal shootings on the rise, a black youth has a greater opportunity to be shot by another black youth than by a cop.  And there is a difficulty with the reasoning things out concept.

Not long ago near my home, a homeowner shot dead a young black criminal caught in the act of robbing the homeowner.  The kids auntie was interviewed on the local news and proclaimed he was a good boy who didn't deserve to die just because he broke into someone's home and stole a bunch of stuff.  As the interview was ending, she said, and I'm not making this up, "Where else he s'posed to get his money?"

At the risk of sounding "Racist AF" as some would say, I agree with everything Bill said. CR and Peg too. I was going to point out that blacks were often called dindus for the reasons already mentioned. Even when they're shown video of them committing a crime, they dindu nuffin. Their grandmother who raised them, mother, aunt, someone, but never their father, ALWAYS says he was a good boy, he dindu niffin. I live in a city with a black majority and hardly ever see a black cop. They're so averse to LEOs from childhood that few want to be one when they grow up.

Shoot, it ain't just Blacks down south..... I have a b-i-l that's as white as a saltine cracker and he's a proud member, just ask him. He can steal from you with you in the room with him, but when confronted he "din' do nuffin."
