Giuliani: Black parents should 'teach children to be respectful of the police'

[RandySF]

In order to solve the issue of racial bias in policing, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday, the United States needs to "look differently at race if we're going to change it."

For Giuliani, that means "maybe whites have to look at it differently and blacks have to look at it differently." It also means black people have "got to teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you've got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

White people should recognize that African-American men and boys "have a fear of being confronted by the police because of some of these incidents," regardless of whether some people see it as "irrational" or "rational," he said.

The second reality, Giuliani said, is that there is "too much violence in the black community," remarking upon black-on-black violence being a greater danger than police-involved incidents.

"So if you want to deal with this on the black side, you've got to teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you've got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police. The real danger to them, 99 out of 100 times," is "other black kids who are going to kill them; that’s the way they’re gonna die," Giuliani said. "Now on the white side, we have to understand whether we get it or not there's an extraordinary fear of the police, and police have to institute a policy of zero tolerance like we did for crime in New York. Zero tolerance. No disrespect."

CBS' John Dickerson said that those "messages seem to conflict with one another."

"Of course they don't. If I were a black father and I was concerned with the safety of my child, really concerned about it and not in a politically activist sense, I would say respectful of the police, most of them are good, some can be very bad, and just be very careful. I'd also say be very careful of those kids in the neighborhood and don't get involved with them because, son, there's a 99 percent chance they're going to kill you, not the police," the former prosecutor said.

2. Respect is earned, or not

I'm not black so my experiences with the police have been infrequent and uninteresting. Before the internet age and cell phone video, I didn't have much of an idea that it was different for anybody else. Knowing what we see now, on a daily basis, if our eyes are even partially open - that's not earning respect. Its not even trying to earn respect.

...and that's just one man, a good man with a good job by all accounts.

4. I heard my husband screaming at the tv in another room

When he heard the ghoul say this his first words were"the ghoul is a big racist himself he has no idea how it is to be black in America". Then he said, "why would the media put this idiot on tv"? And then he changed the channel disgusted. I never watch those Sunday shows anymore it raises my blood pressure and I'd rather watch a crime drama on investigation discovery channel.

7. As blurted out by the same Ghouliani

of this fame almost 25 years ago, when an attempt to create a civilian review board related to police incidents, was roundly condemned by bigots like him and hundreds of his kin LEOs in NYC (see 45 second mark). In the below, you also see the thugs jumping up on cars in an attempt to storm NY City Hall -
