I was born and raised in Chicago during the 60s. Fun time - right? Not a lot different from now. But I think the most important point has been missed. My father was strict and made sure he taught me one thing - RESPECT AUTHORITY!! If you have an encounter with an LEO or ANY other person of authority, do what they tell you to do!! This has served me well over these years. Young people today do not respect authority. They run, don't put their hands up, resist arrest and do many other things that put the cop in a position that they have to make a quick decision and their first survival instinct it to protect themselves. George Floyd should not have been killed, however, I think there were 2 suspects and the other one followed the instructions by the police and was sitting quietly in the back seat of the cruiser when Floyd started to resist arrest. If he had respected the officer he would be alive today. LET'S US TEACH OUR NEXT GENERATION TO RESPECT AUTHORITY!! Things like this won't happen. How many cops just go around shooting people without provocation?
