Another thing I don’t understand…

Well…just read an article about the “tips” that the St. Louis police force tweeted the other day for young black kids to follow to make sure they don’t get shot by the police while playing with toy guns…first, don’t ever use them…anywhere, anytime…and if you do and the police come…throw them away and lie down on ground so you don’t look threatening to the police….not like any white guy that is open carrying a rifle on his back into anywhere he wants to…no, not like that…or not like the white guy with an assault rifle that was threatening to blow cops heads off while drunk and in the street….then, the reaction was to politely ask him “what’s wrong, and is there anything we can do to help…”  a little different than the reaction Tamir Rice got when he was playing with his toy gun while black…when the police screamed up to him, piled out of the car and shot him within 5 seconds. What is the takeaway here? Don’t be a black kid…anywhere, ever, or you will die by the police….when are we going to do something about this crap?  Geez….
