I’m a cop. If you don’t want to get hurt, don’t challenge me.

And people don't have to experience it to understand. But they should at least be aware of what goes on.

 

Yeah, I'm sorry. I know and fully acknowledge that a percentage of cops are assholes. Guys on power trips who want to play with guns. Thin line between cop and criminal for some.

And, as much as any profession, they protect their worst members.

All that said, the opinions of inner city African-Americans are not the only ones that need to be heard. Certainly they need to be heard. There should be a forum for their complaints to be voiced, and listened to.

But, it should be a dialogue.

If we want to solve problems, people need to talk to each other, not just at/past each other.

There's just too much mistrust between the two sides right now. A lot of it has been sown by police.

 

Dick, you're never going to get people to believe their experience with the police hasn't been the same as it is for people everywhere. If you're nice, they're nice!

When a small segment of society is committing an out-of proportion percentage of the crime, it's easy for those who deal with that segment of society to feel a little cynical.

 

What makes you think Ferguson didn't have a meaningful conversation this week? When did a "forum" ever solve anything for the poor?

 

Hey, the poor need their cigars too.

 

Which segment is that? And what type of program are you in favor of that would rectify the problem?

 

By the time I get to Dallas Texas.
