What has amazed me in the whole national discussion is the assumption by 
many blacks that only black men are told not to get mouthy with cops. I'm as 
white bread as you can get, and my mother taught me the same thing. Anyone 
with more than one brain cell knows that nothing good ever comes of mouthing 
off to a cop.
