My point is that these young Blacks who do the "knockout" things cast aspersions on all Blacks, justified or not. Those who don't engage in this activity ought to be outraged against those who do it.
You're a law enforcement officer, what would you suggest that I do? I don't carry , but we film in South LA, Compton, etc. I never leave the filming location to wander around.

Well since a black guy is the one that started this thread in the first place, maybe some of us are outraged against those that do this type of crap. But, you said blacks in general, so I said be specific. I'm black, my moms black, my father is black and guess what, (surprise) they have never played knockout. in fact, in my 46 years, I've never known anybody to play knockout...But I have been called Nigger before by white people, so maybe all white people are racist.....
What would I suggest you do? The same thing you should do wherever you are, be situationally aware of your surroundings, and respond accordingly. If you don't think its safe to wander around Compton, then don't.
