Interesting. None of our parents in our middle to upper class neighborhoods had any reason to think anyone would have interaction with the police. I cannot think of a single person I knew that had interaction with the police except for a family a block away that parents said that we were not allowed to go near .Our teens knew that any car infractions would mean no more driving as insurance would become unaffordable.
I do not understand why parents would think their children would have police interactions. I never talked to my children about the police, It would never cross my mind that there would be a reason my children would have police interaction.
My son is 35 and back when he was a teen, the police had a neighborhood station and the kids would be working in the alley on their vehicles. They got to know the neighbor hood officers.
In the country where I lived, we had a constable. He knew eveyone and handled things appropriately. May or may not talk to your parents.
I am happy to see that the professionals, the LE , are looking at ways to keep everyone alive.An officer who kills someone usually ends up with big issues. It benefits no one
