I put my two cents worth in on a post from a Facebook ‘friend’ who was making a big stink about 2 white men who were killed by police and how their names were not in the news. Now I didn’t know the whole story and admit it. However, I do have an opinion on people getting shot by police. I can say with a fair amount of certainty that everyone shot and killed, whether their skin was dark or light, was not following directions that the police gave them. I can also say that if a gun was pulled, the police officer was reacting according to their training. So, if a person was shot, there is a good reason for that to happen.
Younger adults from 18-40 have no clue how the real world works, they were pampered as children and allowed ‘time outs’ instead of swats to the backside. Immediate response to misbehavior has more impact if your backside is involved. That message travels up your spine and to the brain and then, the process of understanding that if you break the rules, punishment results. Kids who have never had their butts spanked have never processed breaking rules properly. They just don’t get it.
This soft collective of adults are beyond understanding of the difference between black and white and shades of gray. They live in shades of gray which is an area that questions rules and even law, so they push the limits of the law on everything and they aren’t capable of following instructions. I must be getting old because I only see in black and white the decisions I make.
So, if you are confronted by the law, FOLLOW directions is a REQUIREMENT folks! If you can’t follow directions, or you behave in a manner that isn’t consistent with normal behavior aka…following the law; then you can expect the police to pull a gun on you. BEFORE that happens, hold your hands up and answer questions without being a smart ass!
Oh, if you post crap like that on my personal Facebook page or my Kansas page, you WILL be unfriended…..POOOOOOF,,,YOU GONE!
