It's a simple request put out the cigarette. And it led to her suicide? How stupid.
Given how many times we've caught this police department LYING, I'm still not taking the suicide story on face value.
Yeah, good point, and that may be the biggest factor, as over 70% of black children are born out of wedlock:
Mac and more of his "totally not racist" wisdom. (Psst. Lots of kids have fathers who are in their lives who never married their mothers.)
There is clearly something within contemporary black culture that makes it not only acceptable to challenge cops and even resist arrest, but almost expected.
Those who pretend that this is not part of the equation are simply being intellectually dishonest and are exacerbating the issue.
Then the Cops need to act professionally. Last time I checked, this was America, and you have a RIGHT to challenge authority.
Maybe the police need to concentrate on regaining the trust and respect of the community. Instead they act more like occupying armies instead of community police departments.
