An Ill Wind Blows in New York

[Meathead]

You do realize that any conversation between Bill and Dante DeBlasio about race and the police is likely to have occurred long before DeBlasio was elected Mayor, right?

Not his publicly announcing it though. All parents should instruct their children on how to interact with police, especially those who live in violent shit holes. That's fine. But De Blasio went on to say that he had that conversation because his son is mixed race.

The man's an asshole.

He earned their disrespect.

He supported the protestors. He has a bi-racial son. I'm sure you fucking have no clue what that must be like.

I don't, but if my son were bi-racial I would not warn him not to trust the cops that pick him up from school or guard the mansion and provide security for the entire family. If he thinks the cops are thugs, he should hire a private security firm and pay for it with his own money.

Your statement is so stupid, it made me light headed just reading it.

So you would warn him not to trust the cops that escort him around town. Interesting, but stupid.

Do you think he was warning him about the cops they know and the cops that escort him?

If you truly do, and got THAT out of what deblasio said, then you are purposefully being obtuse. He was NOT talking about policemen that they know and trust, he was not talking about his son's escorts, THAT WAS VERY CLEAR....

His father's advice, was good advice...and many of the wingers on this very board repeat it and say it all the time.... if the cops stop you, do not make any quick moves, do not reach for anything in your pockets, do not reach for your cell, do not talk back yadahyadahyadah.....

That wasn't what Deblasio reportedly told his son, but that is good advice to any son or adult anywhere in the US, regardless of their race.

All parents should instruct their children on how to interact with police, especially those who live in violent shit holes.

I can think of one pretty obvious piece of advice:

"Don't resist arrest".

I can think of two lives that one may have recently saved.
