We've seen way too many times when police have shot people who refuse to comply with their orders to drop the weapon, put yours hands where I can see them, get on the ground, etc. In most of those cases, IMO, no one would have died if the person had just done what the police officer said to do.
Should kids be taught that they should comply with a police officer's order -- even if they know they've done nothing wrong?
If it's a situation where the police officer is in the wrong, how should kids be taught to handle that situation?
At what age should this start? Should this teaching be only at home? At school? Should influential people like famous TikTok'ers, athletes, musicians, etc. be helping kids understand how to handle these situations?
Please discuss your thoughts.
So if I understand the question. It is the police who are behaving badly. But it's the kids that need to be taught how to behave.

At school?
I've been thinking about that, after another mass shooting in a black crowd where the police can't seem to make any progress. No one likes violence in their neighborhood, but they don't trust law enforcement to help. So people often get away with drive bys and shoot outs, and that only tells others that they can get away with it, too. It's a vicious circle.Compliance sort of requires a level of trust that the people you are complying with have your best interests at heart. That trust is developed through years of healthy interaction between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
That trust is just non existent in many parts of the country now for a variety of reasons.
If the police are in the right then what have you been teaching the kids in the first place that the cops are right to arrest them?You didn't.
Police can be in the right and sometimes in the wrong. How would you teach kids to behave any both of those situations?

If it is profiling then the cops are at fault and need to be taught.
Do you as a woman need to be taught how to dress sensibly because there are rapists out there? Or should you be able to dress as you see fit and it is the rapist who has all the problems.
You do understand that you have one real ****ed up society when you have to teach children to afraid of those paid to catch the bad guy.
Of course. Same as any dangerous person with a gun. Seems like career killers and cops are pretty much the two most dangerous types of people an American could come across, folk with the least fear of meaningful consequences if they kill you. Ten to thirty times the rate of civilian killings as most other developed countries, even before considering the claim that coroners mislabel up to half of police killings.Should kids be taught that they should comply with a police officer's order -- even if they know they've done nothing wrong?
Some people have the luxury of pursuing complaints quite effectivelyIf they are in the wrong we will fight it LATER, with LAWYERS, in COURT.
One would have to wonder why a kid would think it ok to commit a crime. In most cases it would be because they grew up in an environment where crime was practiced or at least taken for granted.What?
Simple enough. Do not confess.Okay. I'm asking what the kids should be taught to do in that kind of situation.
It would not be enough to just tell children how they must behave if a cop behaves badly. Because an inquisitive child will ask the parent why are cops allowed to behave badly? How does a parent answer that?Of course the rapist is the problem and women can wear what they want. Women should be smart about keeping themselves safe.
Perhaps there is some truth to that. I live in a country where the cops do not routinely open carry. The worse they could do would be to tell kids that they will have to phone their parents from the police station.What?
We're on different wavelengths here
Everyone of any age should be respectful of and even servile toward the police.Please discuss your thoughts.

Yes kids should be taught to respect the police and to comply. 99.999% of the time if you are polite and cooperate with the police you will not get shot by the police. Its when people don't drop the weapon when told to do so, move when told not to or try to resist arrest that they get killed by the police. The public has around 53 million encounters with the 680,000 to 700,000 plus law enforcement officers each year. Only around 1092 to 1146 people(most of which are justified) are killed by the police each year. Weird how .001% of those 53 million encounters with law enforcement each year turns fatal.We've seen way too many times when police have shot people who refuse to comply with their orders to drop the weapon, put yours hands where I can see them, get on the ground, etc. In most of those cases, IMO, no one would have died if the person had just done what the police officer said to do.
