When I turned about 15 1/2 my father had a talk with me. He started off by telling me that if I ever got pulled over and ran my smart mouth he would let me rot in jail for the weekend instead of bailing me out. Then he told me some (not all) cops are just plain jerks, but it didn’t make any difference, I would be the one screwed regardless if the cop was a jerk or not.
If more fathers taught their children to never give a police officer an excuse to be a jerk, there would be a lot less violence, regardless of the color of all parties involved.
And by the way we could make a lot more progress by never ever again electing any prosecuting attorney or politician that is running on a tough on crime platform. That poor older gentlemen that got pushed to the ground would be facing assault charges for poking his phone at the second police officer where I live, and there isn’t a drop of hyperbole in that statement.
