I guess it aggravates me that people stick their heads in the sand when it comes to the behavior of their kid and when everything goes haywire they claim their kid never did anything wrong, fueling the flames for the likes of Sharpton and Jackson who stirs up the media and the public and people start rioting and looting and intruding on folks who are out to eat at a restaurant minding their own business.

 

I'm sorry lady, but you're kid was not a nice, smart boy. He was a street thug who has been arrested and in jail for -enter crime here-. I'm sorry he's dead but that's on him for breaking the law and running from a police officer (or resisting arrest or whatever). Not on the cop who was trying to do his/her job.

 

I don't mean to sound callous but it is what it is. These kids are screwed from the outset because they have no one teaching them how to live the right way. It's a generational thing and many of them don't see that they do any wrong because they don't know a different way or they think it's the only way. All they know is they get in trouble because the police 'hates them'.
