Fox News host Pete Hegseth suggested over the weekend that a man who tried to kill police officers in Dallas and people at a pool party in McKinney, Texas were similar because they did not respect law enforcement.
On Saturday's edition of Fox & Friends, Hegseth argued that "growing anti-police rhetoric" could be part of the reason James Boulware allegedly shot at Dallas police and planted explosives before snipers shot him to death.
"It really does get to the question of respect for authority," Hegseth told a panel of guests. "This is a violent instance, but we've seen it as a cultural trend."
"The root is that we've lost a generation, one generation ago, that are now the helicopter parents, raising a lot of children," conservative talk show host David Webb argued. "We've got a culture that's basically broken down, where authority is not respected as much."
"Parents give kids boundaries; in the classroom, teachers give kids boundaries," Webb continued. "Those boundaries are now being overshot because they feel that there is nothing that someone can do about it. If your parents spank you, you call DPS or some social services. The parents are in trouble."did you catch that, after demonizing Black kids from Ferguson to Baltimore as being the criminal perpetrators all by themselves now does a 180 and blames the parents for sparing the rod which is a Black staple you don't spare the rod or spoil the child that is a White family thing right up there with the fabled "time out". they were all in a tither weeks ago because Adrian Peterson spanked his kid so what are they really for truth or ratings.
naive of them to think that their base doesn't break off a switch or two every now and then so he also impugned the right wing base as the blame for their kids though i believe his intent was to slap so to speak Black families. and how does it equate that this guy shoots at police as the same thing, he better hope the guys parents don't get pissed and shoot at him though that would be poetic justice at best.
this just shows how ignorant those who propose to tell us about what the real 411 on the Black experience is can't buy a vowel or get a clue.
