Chris Cuomo: police reform won't happen until 'white people's kids start getting killed' – An observation from an elitist without a clue?

Is his comment standard CNN outraged sensationalism seeking ratings?

Let’s be clear, racism exists without any doubt. That said, Cuomo’s statement reflects the naivete of someone who’s lived a life of privilege secluded from the culture producing the majority of the current crop of American kids interacting with law enforcement. He wasn’t immersed in high-volume drug/weapon trafficking and peer-pressured gang affiliation. His little Italian behind would likely have been whupped into compliance if he even thought about participating in any of that. That would have happened to most white kids throughout American history even in the lowest socio-economic levels.

Blacks aren’t being killed because they’re black and cops are racist, although some are. What is getting some killed is the muti-generational attitude that resistance to law enforcement is the best option to live another day. Surrender in the old days meant certain death. That isn’t true today and there are hundreds of thousand in prison proving that surrender isn’t an automatic death sentence. But, the resistance-equals-survival attitude persists throughout black culture.

Whites violently resisting arrest are killed regularly by police, but the numbers are lower primarily because the volume of whites resisting arrest is lower than for black suspects. Whites stop resisting before being killed more frequently than blacks. Thirteen year-old Adam Toledo would be alive if he had.
