I'm sure liking me some Bill Cosby after he weighed in on the situation where the nervous cop arrested the black Harvard professor for being a little too slow and a little too verbal about breaking out some ID. Bill was slow to speak and thoughtful about each word in the interview (with CNN I think). He seemed PRESIDENTIAL to me. We need that from our leaders.
I was standing in a foyer one day long ago....when a cop appeared at the front door...having received a 911 call from a hidden alarm panel in the house. I was there with the homeowner on a phoneline trouble call. The cop stared a hole through me, then did the same to the homeowner. It was very obvious that he meant business and every answer & movement from either of us had better be the correct one. I'm just saying....this is a dangerous world....and there are times to not show your arse.

Love your tribute to Rita! :-) Great song!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard Bill Cosby's take on this, but I did hear Juan Williams of FOXNews explain his. Mr. Williams is a respected journalist. He is also black. In essence, he said that his policy, and the one he has taught his children, is simple; police have control and instant decision-making powers. If asked, answer their questions, and then be quiet. It's good advice for us all. Honey is much sweeter than vinegar
