If the person him/herself does not apply for the police job, they're not interested in the job! And if they're not interested in the job, they're not going to be good and effective at the job!
It's up to parents, church leaders (like Sharpton) and school faculty and administrators to teach their children to look forward to a future that includes a a paycheck earned by working for it and by earning the the education and credentials to qualify for it.
And don't tell me about "screaming" at black church services. I've enjoyed many of them because of the lively feedback from engaged people in the pews. The reason they are engaged is because the Word of God is being taught with meaning and application and a memorable take-home message the person can refer back to in real life all week/month/year long. God's Word is effective wherever it is read and proclaimed.
Effective pastors do not blame all the black community's problems on their caucasian brothers and sisters! They teach people to be a disciple of Christ, and the root word "disciple" is IN the word "discipline". Self-discipline, with God's help.

Who has not taken the initiative to fill out an application? Who has dropped out of high school? Who has quit an associate degree program enrolled for the purposes of applying for a police job? It's can't be the victim, Michael Brown, because he was a recent high school graduate and headed to college.
