When the numbers are broken down categorically, they tell a different story.
I'm not going to get into it with you, I posted the link for anyone who wants a more in-depth look.
They pass it down to their children, always victims being held back by the white man. They keep it alive and pervasive, just watch the riots and listen to what the crazy protesters SAY -

Yes, parents can and do pass racism on to their children, such as telling them: "blacks just can't be trusted."

Attorney: Officer who shot Terence Crutcher had 'auditory exclusion,' didn't hear other officer say he had Taser ready
The probable cause affidavit for her arrest states that another officer told Shelby he had a Taser ready to deploy before she shot Crutcher, who was unarmed, on Sept. 16. But her attorney told the Tulsa World on Friday that she never heard that comment, also not realizing other officers had arrived and were standing with her.
Scott Wood, who represents Shelby, said she experienced “auditory exclusion.” Wood described it as a phenomenon officers often experience in critical incidents that results in a temporary loss of hearing.
Because of that, Wood said, Shelby didn’t hear other officers arrive with their cars’ sirens activated or approach her. Nor did she hear Officer Tyler Turnbough tell her that he had his Taser ready because she was “totally focused” on Crutcher, he said.
“She doesn’t have any recollection of that at all,” Wood said.

It seems parents and teachers can do better on both sides, because blacks do not trust whites even more.

I can agree with that, with the caveat that there's a far greater historical basis for a lack of trust in the black community. Much of the mistrust in the white community is based on imagining what could happen, while in the black community it's based on knowing what did happen.

Reposting this:
Middletown, Ohio, Police Chief Rodney Muterspaw made headlines when he voiced his frustration at the officer-involved shooting via Twitter (his account has since been made private):
As an officer I am so sick and drained of some cops doing things like this. You are making us all look bad. STOP. #TerenceCruthcher— R_Muterspaw (@RodneyMute) September 20, 2016 Life is precious man. Sorry we don't all agree. Compassion and empathy is eternally important. Just sick of seeing death & hate. #Life— R_Muterspaw (@RodneyMute) September 20, 2016 In response to subsequent tweets, he replied: Been on that type of call/situation over 100x. You don't shoot for non-compliance. You shoot when UOF escalates. Not hard ... been in that situation 100x….communication, taser, pepper spray…whatever it takes to protect life first[.] |
And noting that the first recommendation by the police chief is communication. It sure seems that communication was abandoned too soon.

crutcher escalated when he put his arms down
watch the video
you'll see that ineffective attempts had been made at communication

If she didn't hear the sirens or the officer next to her telling her he had his taser ready, how reliable is her report about anything Crutcher may have said or not said?

He made two normal posts then he made a post with a link to a page that was obvious spam. It got caught in the spam trap, so you didn't see it. Only mods see posts caught in the spam strap. When a member is banned as spammer all of their stuff is erased because they may have posted more spam other places on the board including PM boxes. It is simpler than having to manually remove the spam. It ensures all of the spam is removed from the forum. Nuff said.
