Police are people too...

Why is it that the folks in Ferguson and other similar cities hate police, bad mouth them, criticize what they do, then turn right around and call them for any emergency they feel they have????...Help, Help, please call the cops I am in trouble!!!!

When you're grown up in a culture that despises the police and you're conditioned to do the same, being taken to protests and participating in anti-police rallies, a la Al Sharpton, from a child, you become conditioned, falsely, to instinctively never trust them. However, when reality steps in and there is a real emergency the gangsta rapper, hard-ass costume comes off and they dial 911 because they know if there ain't no cameras around, neither is Sharpton. It's sort of like a backhanded compliment to the police, when a little backhand would have come in handy had a father been there except he was asked to leave, replaced by a welfare check. These matriarchal experiments by the government, inner cities, are an abject failure, I worked them almost 20 years, because these women cannot raise boys into men.

And remember looting, as a result of these protests and rioting, are the only way these families can update their home electronics so if Samsung comes out with a new TV or Sony has new Playstation expect these rent-a-mobs to start something somewhere.

Should this be in the off topic board?

I lived this unrest for the last 6 months. I live in the affected communtity and work in at as well.
I don't post much. I read these boards for insight and knowledge about my F6B, Not about culture.

Can we get back to motorcycle talk and leave the cultural commentary to Fox News and MSNBC or the OFF TOPIC BOARD!!
