Tamir Rice was not resisting arrest. The fault lays squarely at the feet of adults, including the two Rambo-like responding cops, and all the adults that created this violent civilian American culture and resulting excessively violent American police culture. That's how a young boy in the united States with a pellet or BB gun got killed by police gun fire.

Stop :attn1: right there: people born in the mid '80s or '90s. I remember and lived as a child in the '70s and early '80s in the USA and we boys played with toy guns outside all the time. Cops did not shoot us. The times began to change once civilian American gun violence began to pick up. Then cops (logically) had a problem with the toy guns.

At any rate, Tamir Rice did not have sufficient time to "resist," nor was he trained like I was as a young adult in the military on how to react and respond to armed me out the blue jumping out on you (had those cops did that with me while I was armed I likely would have engaged them in fire at the hunt, or fallen to the ground while returning fire). Basically, the tactical response of the cops almost ensured they would have to fire on the suspect (in this case the boy).

As for these rest of his responses I agree with him to an extent on some things. Some. And to and extent.

I really get tired of hear his conservative--and liberal Obama's--frequent appeals to the magic pill of "the father" in the house. Obama supports lesbian couples raising boys, so, needless to say while he might win the lawyer (shyster) of the year award, he won't ever be winning the logician of the year award. He can't even maintain coherent thoughts.

But back to the black conservative guy. A number of 20ish year-old gang-banger fathers walking with their babies have had their babies shot to death by gang rivals. Not to mention many of those parental units raised their children to be in the gangs they were in. But even if the father was just a regular dude, what makes this guy think said father is magically going to "teach" his children anything regarded as "productive" and "good"?

But I do agree that the Black-American family has been attacked and in many cases ruined. And I agree the former AFDC system of welfare assisted in that. I don't think it was the only factor though.

I also would have pointed him to institutional racism as evidenced (but not *proven*) in all the money poured into developing Industrial Parks in predominately white suburbs and white counties.

Overall I agree with him that Black-Americans greatest enemy are themselves and not "the white man." The always blame white people or always blame conservatives thing is getting really old.
