We have a neighbor that lost their son due to a headlock from the police. He was in college, drunk and not cooperating with the police. They and the son are white. If he was black would they have just shot him?
My son is 6'4" 260 lbs. Headstrong as someone could be. I tell him at least once a month to not resist the police for any reason. Doesn't matter if you did nothing wrong, they are totally in the wrong. We will sort it out later.Get lawyers whatever, just cooperate and live.

He's white, no tattos, clean haircut, no facial hair, dresses nice. I worry because of his size that they won't bother with trying to take him down with non-lethal force.
If I'm concerned about that, what is the black father thinking about his son?

Hey, he's a big guy so they may fear for their life if he CHARGES the cop....OK, my sarcasm for Ferguson is still high because it's just more of the same bullshit thaf continues to happen as people are starting to see. I have long since said this is a serious problem. When civilians are getting off as well as the cops, wouldn't you be concerned too? |

Far as I know a couple of speeding tickets. Last one 3 years ago. He's a great kid. But college kids get drunk and do stupid shit.

I wasn't trying to insinuate that your kid was a bad kid or anything. It's just that in my lifetime I've had interaction with police very seldom and only once outside of a traffic stop. I understand that everyone's life experiences are different, but I've never had a reason to fear the police and these recent incidents haven't made me change my thinking very much.

I'm white and feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I KNOW it would be 1000% worse if I was black...

It's been reality for as long as I can remember but I don't walk around with a chip on my shoulder about it. You just learn how to deal with it but people are getting bold again.....trying to take it back.....and I am concerned about it. |

That's good advise, which would be hard to follow under some circumstances, but still solid advise.
