I was taught at a very early age the results of having a temper tantrum. My older siblings told me that I only had one.
You didn't sass you parents, you respected adults and folks in positions Authority.
I have had multiple speeding tickets and have never been harassed law enforcement officers.

Not really. They just taught me to be polite to my elders.
I barely saw cops as a kid in the mountains of Virginia though.

Yes.
I respect everyone. I have encountered a few douchebag cops in my day. multiple times.
But I’m not a stupid criminal. I complied and was respectful and I never had a cop beat/taze/shoot me. And there a douchebags of all walks of life out there. Some wear badges and most don’t.

1950s...New Iberia. Parents: 'If a policeman (the word cops was disrespectful) tells you to do something, then do it. Or they will shoot you.'
The advice served me well.

But the key is that they taught you how to treat others. I imagine if they'd seen you disrespect another person (officer, teacher, grocery clerk, etc.) they would have intervened pretty fast and addressed it, right?

I was met with an overzealous cop this Mardi Gras, I moved a barricade so I could park in front of my friends house....friend does it all the time. I parked (3 kids with me), cop comes running up screaming....I calmly stated that I was parking by a friends house, he continued to bark, I just listened and eventually he told me since I had kids with me he wouldn’t ask me to move. I thanked him and everyone moved on. I could have been an arse back, and have the situation escalate, but it’s never worth it.

Yes.
If I got paddled at school I got the belt at home.
Fear is a decent motivator if done in moderation.
I fear speeding tickets due to increased insurance costs and time lost dealing with an officer. That fear keeps me from speeding.
Fear isn’t all bad like progs would have you think.
I also feared the belt. It probably shaped my behavior. I had to learn about being responsible. I broke a rule in school. It wasn’t my fault. Didn’t matter though. I walked myself to the principals office for my paddling.

Why is teaching your children to respect authority a burden on black people when all parents must teach this to their kids. That's called parenting, not racism.

Same -- my parents, when it came to me and my siblings, fancied themselves police, judge, juror, and executioner. I knew when I fricked up and I knew the repercussions that followed. Every time.
Again, that's not because we're white, it's because my parents were just that: parents.

there may be a huge problem in that there are so many missing parents in a culture that is irresponsible

Yes, grandpaw was a cop and my dad drilled it into my head that you be respectful, do what they tell you and don’t lie to them because they can frick your world up—one way or another. And those who worked with gramps who didn’t like him may find you a good target, so that was an added bonus to think about.

Yep! Yes Officer and No Officer.

I had really bad white privilege.
I lived at the bottom of the hill and my grandparents lived at the top. I adored my grandfather and never wanted to disappoint him.
Family is everything and the progs seemingly want to minimize it.

Mine did too. One of the reasons I can’t stand trump.
You can’t stand Trump because he’s an alpha and you’re a low T sniveling soy boy....lol!

When I got my driver’s license, my dad and I had the talk. He told me to hold my tongue no matter what. He said sometimes cops will talk down to you or act like a bully. He told me to just let them and just say yes sir no sir and everything will be fine. He said the police stop is NOT the place to have the argument bc it will probably end badly for ME.

Absolutely. I was a bit of a smart-arse and they didn't want me getting a nightstick upside the head. I got a speech about teachers when I was young, and one about cops when I was a teen. Shut your mouth, yes sir, no sir if asked a question and do exactly what you're told.
And as a larger issue, I'm sick of black instigators (like the CMSgt of the AF) telling me "you have no idea what it's like to grow up black". Nope, I don't. You have no idea what it's like to grow up white, as evidenced by the number of black people who think they're the only ones who give "the talk" about cops. I also don't know what it's like to grow up rich or poor, or Asian, or anything else besides what I experienced. I'm still part of society, and screw anybody who tries to preemptively shut you up because you didn't have "their experience".

There was a stretch a few years ago where I got pulled over like 6 or 8 times in multiple states for speeding. Every time I got off with a warning or reduced to a non moving violation. All I did was act polite and bullshite with the cops and they cut me a break. They had me dead to rights, so there wasn't anything I could do but try to get out of it by being nice.
I do remember in HS I had a cop try to tell me I was speeding when I clearly wasn't. I calmly stated my case and he finally realized he wouldn't get me to admit that I was speeding and let me go.

Not really, there was a never a need. The few times in my life I've had to talk to police it was always hard to keep a straight face knowing how dumb and how underpaid police are.

Yes. One thing my dad said was don't f with them they have a gun.
