I may have told you that I was speaking to a friend who is a policeman. I asked him why all of the cops, (even if there are 50 of them) shoot the perpetrator of the crime all at once. Do you know what he said? He said that it would "look bad" if he was not shooting, even though the other cops were. (I had referenced a Black man with a knife in Manhattan. The cops kept telling him to put the knife down, he continued to hold it--I don't know whether he lunged at anyone--but the cops surrounded him and shot him. There were several cops, so I don't know why they all had to shoot him.) There was actual video, so it was up close and personal and I think that most of the cops were White.

Her actions cost her credibility. I have never heard of a mother calling the cops on their child for "normal" discipline, and as far as I am concerned it should be a last resort instead of a go to option. When I was a kid I feared my father more than the police. But that was because I had a present father. Nothing gave them the right to beat Mobley & a lot of non-white cops do see us as sub-human. While some of the black ones fall in line under the illusion of inclusion and support their cronies, so they wouldn't dare speak up!PRBrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725112254729660425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2050411280825581701.post-82180366826303001092015-03-25T03:59:10.786-04:002015-03-25T03:59:10.786-04:00The cop had no right to treat Ms. Mobley in that m...The cop had no right to treat Ms. Mobley in that manner, or say what he said to her. I'm glad that she is suing him because he was definitely not protecting and serving--and what happened to the other cops? I guess they just let their fellow officer rant and rave. (Let me ask you this question because I think that you have police background: when did BLACK mothers start calling the police when their children misbehaved? Do police even have TIME for that? I would think that Ms. Mobley presently has no credibility with her children; and since she has given away her authority to the police in regard to her children--she doesn't have authority, either. It's been a few decades, but my mother let me know by way of the switch when my behavior was not to her liking. (My father would talk you to death and I sometimes wished that he would just whip me and get it over with.) I think that Black people should think twice when calling the police---in the Midwest several months ago, a Black family called the police for their sister--they claimed that they wanted the police to transport her to the local hospital. She was suffering from mental illness--somehow the police ended up shooting and killing her. It would seem that the police would have come with a police social worker, or an officer trained in assisting the mentally ill. I remember that when a friend came back from Viet Nam--he called the Viet Cong "gooks". He said that they all looked alike and that he did not consider them "human". I think that is what the average non-Black cop (and non-Blacks in general) think of us: we are not considered human; we can be disrespected and killed on a whim.Msjayelbee9https://www.blogger.com/profile/15107538477067074903noreply@blogger.com
