[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a mixed race kid (AA and white) who is 2- this is already on our minds when looking at schools.

My DH was (and is still) friends with mostly wealthy, white kids. One kid took the cops on a high speed chase through HoCo after being pulled over for a DUI. He got probation and a fine. [b]If he was a minority, he would've been shot. [/b]

You have no idea whether this is true. For a couple of years now the press has been pushing this story that police killings of blacks are endemic and it's simply not true -- they are extremely rare and often associated with threatening activity on the part of the victim of the shooting. In a country of 300 million there will always be individual incidents that are egregious. You can make anything seem common by just amplifying those incidents all over the papers.

I was on the jury for an African-American kid who led the police on a high-speed chase through both DC and Maryland and ended up crashing. He didn't get shot or even injured, although he put many other people in great danger. He got a very brief jail sentence (in months), so it wasn't probation, but he certainly wasn't shot. [/quote]

My H is a cop and they absolutely beat black males at a higher rate for no good reason.

You are insane if you think black people get less or same jail time as whites.[/quote]
Interesting...... My H is a cop and black males beat and attack cops at a higher rate for no good reason.[/quote]

Your husbands sounds ignorant and it’s implied by us like that that is the problem in the police force. Did he make it past two years of college. Our biggest problem is that we require such lack of education by police officers. We give guns to people that can’t even make it through four years of college which is ridiculous.[/quote]
