You have sons. What are your thoughts on the Michael Brown tragedy, as a father? I pulled my sons in. We went over it again. Listen to me, man, I said. Be completely compliant when these police officers stop you. Get in the car, I’ll come get you, but get in the car. Watch your mouth, don’t talk back, stay respectful, keep your hands in full view, don’t make no sudden movements. Quit wearing your pants sagging, don’t wear hoodies, I don’t care man, I’m sorry, I don’t. Let’s not give them a reason. The sad part of it is we are the only people who have to have these conversations with our sons. That’s tragic, but it’s the reality of the world. They’ve already started slandering [Michael Brown]. They’ve already started coming up with he stole something in the store. What no one talks about is there’s a kid that’s dead that did not have a gun. Where in all of their training is it to kill him over what originally was a jaywalk ticket? We go again and so I talk to my sons about all of this. I try to tell them what my father always taught me: Son, don’t give them a pin to stick you with.
