WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST

                                                        Recent news has provided a different perspective to the old saw:  Women and Children First!    The recent beating of a black woman in Southern California is totally unjustified regardless of what happened at the beginning of the incident.   We remember living in Ridgecrest, southeastern Cali, during the Rodney King pummeling.  We were having a civil conversation with a matronly white women who opened my eyes to a reason why King was beaten, and may shed light on the mindset of the CHP officer when he had finally subdued the Black woman down south.    This older gal mentioned that the King officers may have reacted the way a mother, or father may have reacted after they find out that their endangered offspring was safe, after a harrowing experience.   The parent would be, at once, thankful, and horribly upset that the child would place him or her self into such a dangerous predicament.  Good point, was her's.                                                 However, the reason for law enforcement training and academies is to weed out the applicants who cannot husband their Reptilian instincts.  This CHP officer is apparently no newbie.  His conduct holds no water.  Systemic?  Ask a Black guy, then ask a white guy, and you will think that they each heard a different question.                            Now the children.  The thuggish beatdown by the israeli storm troopers of the young American/Palestinian mimics  what happened is this land.   Women......
