Most of the problems we are seeing with blacks an the Police stems directly from poor parenting skills. I taught my children and grandchildren to respect their teachers at school and police officers in the community.

If an officer says to raise or show your hands - it's not a time to debate "why?"

What kind of parent - buys a twelve year old a full sized plastic replica 9mm gun and let's him go to the park and aim it at people?

That's the one right there. Wise words that are applicable to everyone everywhere. All just common sense though really. And presented with a little humor thrown in too.

It was recently mentioned here that comedian Chris Rock has a great skit on video called something like "How not to get arrested" or something close to that. Very appropriate to this thread and also to the news in the past few weeks. Good advice for anyone so stupid that they need to have it pointed out to them. Google it or however you choose to find stuff.

That doesn't only go for blacks, that's for everyone. A roadside argument with a cop is a losing battle. There are other ways to handle the situation in a more controlled environment.

Blacks would be a lot better off if they would learn to not fight the cop, then sue for wrongful arrest later.

Libby, want some cheese to go with your whine?

'Driving While Black' The app describes how people can assert their civil rights with Racist officers, enables drivers to alert friends and family with a push of a button that they've been pulled over, and includes a recording function to document the interaction.

With attention focused nationally on Racist police killings of unarmed black people, it's one of several free smartphone applications that aim to help people navigate encounters with law enforcement.

"Five-O" is an application released this summer by three Georgia teenagers that people can use to create their own "incident reports" on Racist police encounters, and contribute to community databases that rate how individual officers treat people.

And "Mobile Justice," released by American Civil Liberties Union affiliates in four states, enables users to record and upload video of police encounters so that ACLU lawyers can look for due-process violations.
