[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1502219, member: 44954"] Slow down there cowboy, he never ranted, he expressed an opinion that is held by people all across the country about how to interact with police. “We’ve had to literally train him, as families have all over this city for decades, in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him.” He clarified: "And with Dante, very early on with my son, we said, look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do, don't move suddenly, don't reach for your cell phone, because we knew, sadly, there's a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color." Are you upset that he taught his son to do everything the police told him? Or maybe your upset that it's human nature to profile people? I just don't get it. Teaching your kids to do what the police tell them, not make sudden moves.... this sounds like common sense to me. [/QUOTE]
