    Guess what, I'm white and had a talk with my kids about how to act with the police.
    But I also included teachers, and all other adults.
    I taught them respect.

    I've seen several videos on social media showing black people how to act if pulled over. It's exactly what most everyone knows to do anyway.

    There are things that can be done:

    1) mental health reform
    2) poverty
    3) kids growing up without positive male role models
    4) religious extremism
    5) racial race baiters
    etc..
    etc...

    Tell the government to solve the root of the issue instead of blaming guns for everything. But politicians wouldn't because it's easier to blame guns.... and there are enough stupid people that believe these politicians...

    How about we start with keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill?

    Except that would take BACKGROUND CHECKS!

    Oh no! Run away! Call the NRA and warn them that the "gun grabbers" are coming!

    It's that, but also way more: It is about cronyism, nepotism, high official corruption, undue influence, profiteering in every public and private sectors that can affect a citizen's life.

    Now that being said, yep - I think that if you win over 500k a year, your taxation rate should be just as irrational as your salary (call it the "greed tax"). And offshore fiscal paradises should be bombed to the glass age, then be forbidden.

    That how it worked in the 1950s America that went so damn well.

    You don't just "need" it - it is essential for social peace to happen.

    Maybe people doesn't like having their democracy become a plutocracy. Do something about it.

    No. Usually they resist arrest or try to run away. That's why it's imperative to comply and never make any sudden movements. You have to understand that these people don't know you and don't know what to expect.

    It's a message he's sending out. You're right on your last comment though. I'm not so sure a race war needs to take place though, but separating people like it used to be and letting black cops patrol black neighborhoods and vice versa probably wouldn't hurt. The only problem I have with any of that is that I would hate for my black friends that aren't activists against whites or police to be stuck with those animals. So how do you get around that one?

    Not at a BLM march. The good guys walking around with guns aren't usually needed with heavy police presence. Common sense.

    Then the taxpayers get to foot the bill. The police want to play the victim.

    OOPH... Good point, I definitely didn't think that one through.

    Strategically sticking two or three snipers in areas wouldn't cost anymore and would be productive if this were to happen again. Provided it was in a downtown area.

    It's your constitutional right. You don't have to say a word. This isn't a respect issue. If the police don't like the Constitution, call lawmakers to change it.

    Very suspicious. Do you think the BLM terrorists paid police for her?

    You nailed it. I had a talk with my kids before this last school year started and let them know that their teachers aren't there to be their friend or to be liked, but they'll respect every one of them and treat them with respect.

    Remember the black government official that was pulled over and blasted the State Trooper that pulled her over, saying that he'd screamed at her and cussed her, etc? Then the trooper saw it and pulled his dash cam, he'd been extremely polite the whole time.

    Clearly. That's why they're out in full force protesting the racist groups like BLM that have cheered for their death. :roll:

    Answer their questions and comply. Be polite and use your head. Being an ass by staying quiet and ignoring them isn't a good route to take. Make it easy on yourself though, don't do anything you think will get in trouble. Very easy.

    Nope, you don't have to. The same people who champion this thinking are the same ones who claim to have an undying love for the Constitution. Again, you don't have to say a thing. The lady arrested was a lawyer and now the taxpayers have to foot the bill and the chief gets a headache.

    Cops kill blacks because they feel threatened whenever they make "sudden moves" like reaching for ID or their concealed carry permit. The cops also feel threatened by blacks because they statistically commit more crime. Blacks kill cops because they feel threatened and finally opt for a 2nd Amendment solution, because cops statistically kill more of them without cause. And the wheel goes round and round...

    To claim it is lying.
