In reply to the discussion: If you are white, did your parents give you "the talk" about how to behave around police? [View all]Sissyk
(12,665 posts)"The talk" was given to my brother but the girls had to be a part of the conversation. It was more about being respectful than anything. My parents taught us to always obey the police officers directions and to speak to them with respect if we were ever pulled over. Don't act out, run, and always use "Yes, Ma'am/Sir".
I gave both my sons "The Talk" - one white son, one black son. BOTH received the same talk from us. My black son, however; did receive additional talkes from his Uncle. He showed him a video that I'm sure some here would call racist, because that's how some opinions here roll.
One thing I'm pretty sure of though, my sons will not be running from the cops. At least, if the last time they were pulled over counts as anything.
