Tips For Being An Unarmed Black Teen

[ClosedCaption]

With riots raging in Ferguson, MO following the shooting death by police of an unarmed African-American youth, the nation has turned its eyes toward social injustice and the continuing crisis of race relations. Here are The Onion’s tips for being an unarmed black teen in America:

• Shy away from dangerous, heavily policed areas.
• Avoid swaggering or any other confident behavior that suggests you are not completely subjugated.
• Be sure not to pick up any object that could be perceived by a police officer as a firearm, such as a cell phone, a food item, or nothing.
• Explain in clear and logical terms that you do not enjoy being shot, and would prefer that it not happen.
• Don’t let society stereotype you as a petty criminal. Remember that you can be seen as so much more, from an armed robbery suspect, to a rape suspect, to a murder suspect.
• Try to see it from a police officer’s point of view: You may be unarmed, but you’re also black.
• Avoid wearing clothing associated with the gang lifestyle, such as shirts and pants.
• Revel in the fact that by simply existing, you exert a threatening presence over the nation’s police force.
• Be as polite and straightforward as possible when police officers are kicking the shit out of you.

Be sure not to do these things and you wont get beat up. Unless the officer had a bad day or something

Piece of shit.

1. Don't charge a officer
2. Don't loot a store

Seriously...You support crime. Trash like you are why so many blacks die. Also twice as many whites are killed every year by you fucking blacks. Want to talk asshole?

Don't commit crimes.
Obey the commands of uniformed officers.
Don't physically attack or verbally assault officers.

Don't attack anyone in a "shall issue" CCW state; you never know who might be packing, and they might not be as gentle as the po-po.

When the population is more than 70% black why wouldn't they be stopped more than the 30% white minority population?

Do you really believe that someone would run away from a cop that shot at them. Then turn around after being a distance away and then charge the cop like a bull?

Fight or Flight didnt kick in? He decided to Fight, flight then fight a loaded gun?

He must be all kinds of krazy...or just people who believe that are

The flight instinct never kicked in. He thought the cop was dealt with after having his head caved in. Once he realized the cop wasn't out of the fight he came back to finish the job, but he brought his fists to a gunfight. OOPS!!!!!

Thats the answer you give when you didnt look at the data. I mean why even look at facts when you have canned answers at the ready.

"fairness"

did you read? They arrest more blacks while whites commit more crimes

I'd be interested to know how that stat could be determined when most crime stats are taken from arrest records

So he fought him, ran then decided to fight him again after changing his mind the first time?

Can you imagine someone hitting a cop, running then doing a 180 to charge them. Its so fucking stupid that its insane. Goes against all types of logic lol

He didn't run away. He walked away thinking the fight was over then came back to finish the job when he realized it wasn't done.

You can you know, read the stats instead of defending stuff that you dont know what it says...just sayin

That makes no sense to approach someone with a gun. But at least you're staying illogical

How about some tips for white boys? You do know that whites are slaughtered at twice the number as blacks??? Maybe 1# never go into the black area!

 

[WinterBorn]

I have a great rule for young black men. Actually, it is a great rule for all blacks, young or old, male or female.

Get as angry when your young men are gunned down by other blacks as you do when they are gunned down by cops. Because they are 100x more likely to get gunned down by one of their own.

Sucks to be in a group where individuals are far more likely to commit street crimes than other groups.

Remember the famous bank robber Willie Sutton, when asked why he robbed banks, he replied simply "That's where the money is".

Ask a cop in a big city why he/she patrols more in black neighborhoods than in other neighborhoods.

You can guess the rest.
