Right, all the gangbangers and thugs want is respect from the police! Thanks for the laugh. Honestly though, I'm sure the police try to be as respectful as they can be at first. But because of things like BLM, they don't have a chance, since a cop even stopping and talking to a black person now is considered horrible racism. And probably speaking politely and respectfully would be considered patronizing or something. However you want to spin it. Police aren't here to be your friend. They are here to keep you safe. As evidenced in Dallas, they will even protect those so vehemently against them. But I personally don't think they should be obligated to show respect for people who don't respect themselves or others, which unfortunately, is a rather large percentage of some of these unfortunate communities where you probably wouldn't last a day.
