It is also true most white people do not know what it feels like growing up harassed by police that are of a different race. Originally Posted by WTF

Some "white people" do not know what it feels like growing up harassed by their parents' boss that are from a different country with the fear that if they don't do as the boss tells them they will be turned into immigration and sent back home to their country of origin. You are "white" aren't you? Originally Posted by LexusLover

A police officer should be able to outsmart a stupid 18 year old belligerent teenager. Originally Posted by Brot"stupid" and "18-year-old" is redundant.
IMO his "career in Ferguson" is not "ruined." A "problem" is that (contrary to seemingly "popular" belief) an officer who has shot someone in the line of duty is a "risk" to another agency, primarily because of the "popular belief" that once he has shot someone it is "easier" the second time. Actually, IMO the reverse is truer and the "hesitation" in a 2nd incident by the officer is often considered a danger to his fellow officers ... meaning when confronted with another "shoot or don't shoot" decision his past bad experience and the way he feels about it may make him hesitate ... putting himself and the other offices around him in jeopardy. Depending upon his education, knowledge, and skills (as well as "trainability") he could be moved to a detective position and "off the streets" where he is less likely to have a "shoot or don't shoot' decision to make. Whatever ... he probably should not be put back on the street for a good period of time to get his head straight. Originally Posted by LexusLover
