So basically you think your dude should've shucked and jived his way out of it?

I think you gotta do what you gotta do to stay free and alive. There's no justice in this country.

Such might keep you alive, sure, free... not so much. And then the question becomes, is such life worth living? This is an issue blacks in America have had to struggle with for centuries and so will your children, should you have any.

My mother says I borrow trouble - worrying about things before they happen - but I think about how to protect my future children. Things like not wanting them - especially boys - being out at night...not for fear of their safety in general, but for fear that the police will get them. I don't want to sit at home wondering if my child has been arrested.

So, don't let your "boys" be out at night. In my family, all children had to be in the house by a certain time. Once they are grown, well, there is nothing more you can do. If you don't believe in your ability to raise black boys into responsible black men who won't be arrested (or at least convicted), then maybe you shouldn't have any. :(

Taking on the police as an individual leads to incarceration, physical assault or worse. Staying out of jail and taking on the police/system as part of a larger and more powerful force - AND perhaps undergoing intentional arrest to make a positive statement - wins battles. But, the war is still on. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on what individuals should do when being wrongfully harassed by the police.

Mmm hostile. :) And, I fixed your comment for you. Anyway, I'll hope that you are, in fact, familiar with the severely disproportionate percentage of black men in jails and prisons. So, I can only assume you're just playing devil's advocate. I'm not concerned about my ability to guide my sons into responsible manhood, but thank you for sharing such delightful mockery. It will take you far on Greek Chat.
