Referring to the news article in my original post, I thought it was absurd that parents are putting thoughts of racism in their kid's minds and then turn it around and blame it on others. Automatically these young folks think cops are out to get them, and it is because that's what they are taught. They are setting them up for failure and apparently too ignorant to even realize that they may be  contributing to the problem more than anyone. I just really feel for the young people are being brought up with that mindset and don't have the determination or g2 to realize different. I served with some awesome Marines that were black, white, hispanic, asian, and all mixes in between. Some of my best marines I was personally in charge of grew up dirt poor and getting in trouble and caught up in gangs. They realized that their current life wasn't getting them anywhere and decided to make a change. Many long days and nights in the field talking and they all say the same...they thought that way of life was normal, that's just how it was. When they realized they were not stuck purring and could do something better, they couldn't leave fast enough. Not because someone made them, but because they wanted to! I'm glad they chose to and had my back, or I may not be here to share my thoughts with you good folks.
