What You Can Do if You're a 17-Year-Old White Male without Getting Shot by Police


You can steal some cigars from a convenience store.
You can be stopped by the police for almost anything.
You can drive slowly through the wealthiest neighborhood in town.
You can drink too much and get rowdy with your friends.
You can get drunk and get into a fight with someone.
If you're a high school athlete, you can sexually assault someone.
You can walk down the middle of the street.
You can be out after midnight on foot.
You can carry a baggie of weed.
You can sell a baggie of weed to someone.
You can hang out with any number of your friends.
You can get thrown out of a bar for fake ID.
You can have sex with the police chief's daughter and get caught.
You can have sex with the mayor's son and get caught.
You can listen to loud hip-hop music in your car.
You can insult a cop. You shouldn't, but the cop won't shoot you.
You can run away from a cop who tells you to stop. He'll chase you, maybe, but won't shoot you.
ETA: Walk down a residential street wearing a hoodie.

See, the thing is that you're a white kid, and cops almost never shoot white kids. They might arrest you or even rough you up a little, but they won't shoot you unless you do something really stupid like point a gun at them. They won't, because the community will react badly to that and the cop will get fired or something.

Now, if you're a 17-year-old black kid, and you do any of those things, you're risking your life. Doesn't sound fair, does it? It's not. It's official racism at work. It's not your fault. It's the fault of the community. That should change, but don't hold your breath.

Blah blah blah. Same old song and dance.

Too much stupid there.

If MM really wants to understand discrimination, racism and victimhood, he needs to go live in one of those neighborhoods and experience it first hand.

I noticed one thing missing from that list.  You can't punch the cop and try to take his weapon.

Mineral Man really is one dumb SOB.

I'm pretty sure as a white guy if I push my body up against the door of an officer as he's trying to get out of his vehicle, punch him in the face while he's sitting in his car, try and take his gun, and charge him with my hand down my pants like I have a weapon after he's told me to stop, it's highly unlikely I'll live to tell about it.

Of course rockboy says these things at a site where he cannot be properly challenged, which tells you all you need to know about the confidence of his beliefs. To have it pointed out to him on the same board that his mental capacity is something less than that of a common slug would be too much for rockboy to bear, so he will not dare leave the island.

So, how many Black 17-year-olds actually get shot by cops for any of those?  Neither Saint Swisher nor Saint Skittles was actually shot for any of them, both of those thugs tried assault-with-intent-to-do-grave-bodily-harm on people who happened to be armed, one being a civilian and one being a cop.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Wanna know why Thug Brown assaulted a cop and the Blue City Savages burned Fergadishu, DUmmie?  Would you be smart enough to recognize it if I pointed it out to you?

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

You know, I took this Ferguson mess as an opportunity to explain a few things to my kids:

Never, ever run from the police.
Never, ever argue with the police.
Never, ever, EVER do anything other than you are told by the police.

If you are truly innocent, you can sort it all out later, at the station, when cooler heads prevail.

By the way, my kids are white. I really don't think they should use that as an excuse to be an asshole to a cop.

Even if you think the cops are violating the law, it's best to cooperate and try to file a lawsuit later.
