Parents having “the dreaded police talk” with kids?

Is anyone else confused why this is such a big deal in the media? They act like telling your kids to behave around cops is the equivalent to telling them they’re adopted.
Am I the only one who had parents who sat them down and told them to be on their absolute best behavior anytime they interacted with police? I remember we were told to roll the windows down and have our hands on the wheel if we got pulled over. If it was at night and we were somewhere dark we were told to put on our flashers, call 911, and tell them you were driving to a well-lit place.
And I’m so white I look like a 1940s German propaganda poster. What am I missing? Seems like common sense not some indictment of the horrors of dealing with cops.

Actually, yes but we're white. But I know for a fact it's a thing in the community. It's not Urban Legend.

Fear mongering

When you jump out of the car after the chase be sure to run in a serpentine pattern so they can't shoot you.

Parents are teaching their kids to fear police, virtually ensuring that any interactions will be more problematic than necessary. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My kids grew up watching Cops. They know that if you play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes.

My folks told me, "If you do something stupid and get locked up, they're just going to keep your arse because we don't have the money."
It worked.
It worked.

I don’t get it either. Yea. I’m white and I’m sure that afforded me some leeway but the actual discussion was real... if you get pulled over... put your hands on top of steering wheel so they can see them... let them approach you.. follow instructions and say yes sir and no sir. Be nice and don’t argue, it will get you nowhere except the back of a cop car. Even if you didn’t really do anything. Be nice.. etc etc

LEO’s complain all the time about parents with children seeing them in public and hearing the parent tell their children, “If you don’t be good, he’s going to get you.”
Ridiculous

I was looking for a gif of the Always Sunny scene where Mac has the katana and Charlie has the gun but I found this instead

If they would have a few other talks with their kids and have their dad's involved in their lives I think it would help these kids a lot more.
But yes everyone should talk to their kids about how to act when being pulled over or approached by police.

My parents never did that. They just taught me to respect my elders and authority figures. I was told to keep my mouth shut when grown folks were talking. I really had no choice in the matter.
When I got older, Pops explained that on the side of the road, it was just me and an officer. That officer had all of the control. He said he also had the gun, and I should do what I could to keep him from using it. He followed that up by telling me that court doesn't matter if you are dead.

I know for a fact that you are not white, or at least not what I would consider White.

Is he asian? Because then he'd be white adjacent.

If you arent doing anything illegal you shouldnt have to act any differently around a cop than anyone else.
That means you should be able to tell them to frick off and disobey them if you have done nothing wrong.
Unless we are going to have an argument in this thread here about them being some extrajudicial thugs on the prowl.

My mom is a LEO so it was known if I act up my arse was grass.

The cops came to my school and put people in handcuffs to show us what it was like. I tried a few more times just to make sure I didn't like it.

My parents didn't have this conversation with me, but I certainly had it with my two.
