Candace argues police aren't kicking down doors over joints and that most controversial incidents involve suspects ignoring repeated instructions, while Tim pushes for more de-escalation training and questions chokehold use.
- Tim questions whether police need to be militarized like stormtroopers kicking down doors over marijuana use.
- Police don't kick down doors because someone is smoking a joint—that's fantasy; they're targeting actual drug dealers.
- Teaching kids to respect police officers matters; every case brought to public attention involved someone not following police instructions.
- Walter Wallace in Philadelphia was wielding a knife and trying to kill police officers when he was shot and killed as he should have been.
- Society has developed an authority problem—an entire generation without fathers in the home doesn't believe they have to respect adults.
- Parents are now teaching people they don't have to listen to police instructions if they're Black, which will lead to more Black deaths.
- George Floyd lost his life, but many other videos show police using what appears to be excessive force.
- Cops should be trained to get someone in cuffs and into a police car without using techniques like chokeholds that cause serious damage.
