“I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have ‘The Talk,’ about, you now, how to really protect themselves [from police], when they’re the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with police,” Clinton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.
Better yet, teach all children respect for authority. When confronted by a police officer, listen to the questions, answer politely. Being a rebellious ass usually comes across as being confrontational, regardless of color.
If you, however, listen to Hillary and instill fear in your children, and a pathological distrust, chances are your children will react inappropriately, regardless of color.
Yes, I have seen quite a few blacks and whites mouthing off, and wondered how the cops kept their cool.
“I’m going to be talking to white people, we’re the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries coming from our African-American fellow citizens,” she said.
I refuse to listen to anyone who uses the current racial tensions to further their political career.
“We’ve got to figure out what is happening when routine traffic stops, when routine arrests, escalate into killings … Clearly, there seems to be a terrible disconnect between many police departments and officers and the people they have sworn to protect,” she said.
Ms. Clinton, the first step is teaching kids how to be polite and respectful. Cops, all cops, the white ones, the black ones.....are in fear of their lives for the nonsense you and the current administration is preaching. Anyone in leadership should seek to unify, instead of dividing us further.
What's more, showing our citizenry that you, an old white rich privileged woman is above the law doesn't instill much sense of justice into law abiding citizens, regardless of color.
Where most of us would be fired for being unqualified...to say the least, you expect a promotion.
So, Ms Clinton, shut up and go away, before you make complete mockery of everything that is right.
