Was driving early this morning listening to the radio and the other side was presented. The officer on the show did an okay job and brought up a lot of good points. One he was complaining about not having anyone address non compliance. He said that the situations escalate very quickly when the citizen does not comply with the officer. The one thing I worried about is the officer said that the black community has a much higher rate of non compliance from officers and it was rising rapidly. The announcer and officer both are black so I sincerely doubt you can put the narrative that they are for racial injustice just I think they are not being careful.
The numbers back up what they are saying but I believe that because they are focused on race so much they miss the underlying problems. I think it is the developmental behavior that causes the non compliance and the persistence of it. It starts at a young age and if they are one of those kids that have trouble with discipline they act out more in school and at home. They then begin a process of breaking the rules and they become accustomed to having confrontations with authority figures. So when a police officer arrives at a scene they are not going to comply.The cops then lose control if they are not very disciplined and the crazy ones will commit murder. Thing is I do no think those behaviors are based on race but family makeup. Anyway do you believe there is more non compliance today than there was 20 years ago?
