That’s it I’m teaching my kids to be afraid of law enforcement.

The government should fear it’s people. Not the other way around. This country needs reminded of that.

Fear isn’t helpful, it just makes people afraid and unable to think logically. Instead teach your children their rights and how to exercise them! Like remaining silent. Their rights to lawyers! Their rights against illegal searches! Their right to demand a warrant! Their right to leave if they are not being detained. Always ask “am I free to go” and if they say no request your lawyer. Their right to record! *their right to resist unlawful arrest with lethal force* what who said that 👀

Normal police have better training than domestic terrorists. Teach them to fear white supremacists and rise up against them, not police.

If I just teach them their rights they could get shot like the nurse?! Free to carry a gun, free to protest fully within his rights. Simply following the laws isn’t protection enough at this point. I will teach my kids to not trust LE, be afraid and vigilant when they see them. Having fear does NOT equal thinking without logic or ration. It is meant to keep you on guard and aware.

Bro what? The white supremesists currently CONTROL law enforcement. That in itself is a reason to worry. Law enforcement has way less training than they should.

Vigilant and distrustful is fine. Fear is stupidity

^ this. Put both hands on the dash and make it very obvious that you aren’t reaching and aren’t operating the vehicle, that’s how I was taught

I agree that police don’t get enough training. But 13 weeks at a minimum plus field training is WAY more than the 47 days ICE gets.

Which isn’t to say that any ice killings have had even 1% justification, I’m just saying staying alive today requires a bit more than knowing your rights

how about instead of comparing them, we require the training increases? you’re settling with “at least it’s not worse!” No it could be BETTER

Look up fear. It’s the feeling that is caused by knowing someone is dangerous. I want them to know when people are dangerous.

…..I didn’t say police shouldn’t get more…I’m saying ICE doesn’t get near enough. Don’t fear the police, fear the terrorists.

yeah so my next step would be to say “let’s do something about that.” They can fear (or be aware of) both

Look up the science behind fear and cognition. Teach your children to distrust and be vigilant. Do not teach them flat out fear. If they are afraid their body will release adrenaline and cortisol, cutting off important logistical reasoning centers in our brain to favor survival instincts. That would be fight flight or freeze. You don’t want them to do any of that. You want them to know the procedure to keep themselves safe and their rights secure

Okay I see. Maybe fear isn’t the best word. But they will be vigilant aware and know how dangerous police are.
