Right, time to end this whole argument. You wanna NOT GET SHOT BY THE POLICE? HERE IT IS:
1. Don't PURPOSEFULLY do anything illegal. This seems like a no brainer, but you would be suprised. Keep your ID and papers in your car on on your person every time you leave the house. Keep your stickers and permits and licenses up to date. And don't drive like a maniac. Unknowingly breaking a traffic law can end with a warning of you act right or you get a cool officer.
2. Keep your hands on the steering wheel unless told to do otherwise. You start moving around, even to get something you need without letting someone know what you're doing can be dangerous.
3. Be POLITE! I know you might be nervous, which is fine, but raising your voice won't help the situation AT ALL.
4. Do what the officer says. Told to get out the car? Just get out, slowly. Told to show ID? Do it, slowly. Doing ANYTHING other than what you were told to do is DANGEROUS.
5. If you are being arrested, DO NOT CAUSE A SCENE! Don't pull away, don't start yelling, don't make any movements other than what you are asked to do. Resisting arrest is a CRIME, and even if YOU fell you should not be arrested, the OFFICER don't agree with you and he WILL forcibly arrest you if you fight. The time to fight is IN COURT NOT THE STREETS. Resisting only hurts your case if you even have one.
6. Don't assume because your a minority that racisim is at play. History is filled with people who Stood up for their rights and got a one way ticket to jail or the coffin.
Now, WHY is all this necessary? Because we live in a DANGEROUS WORLD. Violent criminals who don't want to go to jail will sometimes do ANYTHING, up to and including shoot a cop or take hostages, in order to get away. So the cop has no choice but to take every traffic stop or confrontation or interaction like it can and will get violent because they don't know if it will or not. Are their cop out there who are racist and abuse their power? Absolutely, but once you start thinking EVERY cop is this way, you may find yourself becoming emotional or agitated with an officer who is just trying to do their job and they are now forced to deal with you accordingly. Thus endth the lesson.

here in Brazil this is even worse. when I was a kid my parents told me to never get into a police car if cops came to me. run if u can, scream really loudly if u can't run. don't let them take u! they used to make black kids disapear back then, cleaning up the streets. my girl's father is not even as black and he was almost taken once but he could prove he had a job so they let him. he had essays from his students with him. my father used to get up too early to go to work so they thought he was too black to be out at night, he said he was going to work but they didn't believe him, but the company bus came when they were taking him so he ran into it risking gettint shot at his back. but if u work for someone u are someone's property, they probably think back then. nowadays is not much better. black people get killed by mistake all the time, the media doesn't even get too alarmed anymore (if ever. last month or so, in Rio, a little black kid was shot by a police helicopter, he died asking if they couldn't see his school uniform.

As much as most people here in the comments would like this movie to be black and white, it isn't (at least if it's anything like the book. It's a complicated story about the complicated reality that life can be if you are black and from a bad neighboorhood in the US. It's not cops are bad and racist and it's not black people keep complaining about nothing.
(As a sidenote, I'm very happy I do not live in the US and we have police officers that don't have to worry about being shot all the time)

An honour? Realy? Would love to hear one of the kids ask him why?
How is it an honour to be descendents of slaves, taken from the, arguably, most underachieving group of people on the planet.
Honour reside in ones actions, not your forfathers.
Aside from the argumentative flaws, that s not how you encourage your kids to act towards others as people equally deserving of respect.

Did I just enter an online forum for the KKK? Based on these racist and bigoted comments from people who probably never had an African American friend in their lives but will pre judge an entire group of people based on the spotlight the media puts on the activities of a minority of the African American population to prejudge all African Americans! Wow!

This is the reality of today. This conversation should not be needed for any child or even any human being. I have had to follow the law for as long as I can remember. The law failed me. The law failed my family and those that have authority failed me. Nobody has helped me unfortunatly. No law should ever make someone suffer the way I suffered.

This was pretty spot on, I didn't learn it that young though. My parents talked with me about this when I could drive. Be respectful to police, if you ever feel uncomfortable ask for a female officer, and all of that stuff. Nowadays though I just make sure not to get pulled over

This scene gave me a few tears, it's beyond terrible that this has to even exist. I hope that this is eye opening to the world and shows that we should treat everyone no matter who as equals.
