Kids, teens, adults, all should be careful about how they respond to police...
 

Now you know that they are trained to protect and serve...

Another false, or at least one sided narrative the media is pushing, is that the city or township or whatever, of Ferguson, must be racist or racially biased/insensitive, because of the low percentage of black officers on the police force.

Yet, has anyone bothered to ask the question of how many blacks have applied for police officer jobs in Ferguson? Are we supposed to just assume that because there are only 3 black cops on a force of around 60, that it is only because they discriminate? Or could it be that hardly any blacks in that area want to be cops & hence, don't submit applications?

Let me also say, that I am not against affirmative action & in many, if not most cases, I actually support it. I am not against private companies & govt agencies having minority hiring goals. But not when it comes to the police. That is a job where it is imperative that hiring decisions be made solely upon qualifications and NOTHING ELSE.

Want more black cops in Ferguson or anywhere else? Then have black community leaders begin a campaign to encourage young black men & women to consider a career in law enforcement & begin training anyone aring for it.
