I understand your frustration Deb. However, I taught both my kids to be respectful if stopped by the police, don't argue, do exactly as they say, etc. That's just basic common sense. Will your son get profiled? Maybe. Maybe not. My son is mixed race. The police have pulled him over many times but he has never been shot or charged with resisting because I taught him to do exactly as he was told. Having said that, I have been reading for many years about cops who profile unfairly and all the issues that result. I have black friends who have been unfairly targeted by police. It has been going on for decades, not just recently. That doesn't make it right, it's just a fact. Police have to be trained differently, for a lot of reasons -- they often shoot mentally handicapped people, for instance, and deaf people. It's a huge problem and there is no easy solution.

I published this because it's respectfully disagreeing with my view and that's fine. However, it would be stronger if Deb had posted a link to a news story that supports her statement "These athletes are working in their neighborhood, communities to make things different."

I just searched and I don't have that recipe in any files on this computer. However, this is the basic recipe, or pretty close: http://www.karosyrup.com/Recipe/Classic_Pecan_Pie
