Yes no debate there.

I didn't say that and that's not the context. The context is would a white (or other non black or perhaps non latino child) act out in such a way that would get the situation to that level? The answer is "yes" the debate is with what degree of regularity.

>why look at it like that?

Looking at it like that (in the context I outlined) is an attempt by me to illustrate what I believe is a need for our children to be taught survival strategies as the nature of life in this country will always come at them in a way similar to the way this officer did. They need to learn how to avoid this particular type of scenario which is and was entirely possible (had that knowledge been there). The officer and teacher are too far gone to be reached the student can still be taught. Got to get them while they're young.
