Sunday, on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” while commenting on the recent police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota and a sniper targeting and killing five Dallas police officers, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said African-Americans must, “teach your children to be respectful to the police, and you’ve got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police, the real danger to them, 99 out of 100 times, 9,900 out of 1,000 times are other black kids who are going to kill them.”
Transcript as follows:
JOHN DICKERSON: Welcome back to “Face the Nation” With us now is former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Mr. Mayor, I want to ask you about something former speaker Newt Gingrich said, which is that he said, white Americans can’t understand the extra risk that comes with being black in America and that whites “instinctively underestimate the danger of the black experience.” What do you think about that?
GIULIANI: I agree with that completely. I agree largely with the sentiments of Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD). The reality is, we have to look differently at race in America if we’re going to change this. We’ve been looking at it the same way for 20 years and, here’s where we are. And, we both have to try to understand each other. First, let me say, my deep sympathy for the people of Minnesota, the people of Louisiana, the people of Texas and of Dallas, and I’d like them all to remember that although these incidents happened in different ways, they all share it together as Americans. And we share this violence together as Americans. So, maybe whites have to look at it differently, and blacks have to look at it differently. Whites have to realize that African-American men have a fear — and boys, have a fear of being confronted by the police, because of some of these incidents. Some people may consider it rational. Some people may consider it irrational. But it’s a reality. It exists. And there’s a second reality in the black community. And the second reality in the black community is, there’s too much violence in the black community. So, a black will die 1 percent, or less, at the hands of the police and 99 percent of the hands of a civilian, most often another black. So, if you want to protect black lives, then you’ve got to protect black lives, not just against police, which happens rarely, although with tremendous attention, and which happens every 14 hours in Chicago. Every 14 hours. And we never hear from Black Lives Matter.

There lies the problems. They have no respect for anyone.
Shouldn't be just respecting the police. They should be taught to respect all people. I am a teacher and have had numerous students tell me over the years "My mom told me I don't have to listen to you." If they are not listening to what a teacher or school administrators tell them to do, you know damn well they are not going to listen to a cop.
Rudy will be branded a racist, undoubtedly. Which is sad considering how he turned around NYC. He was one hell of a prosecutor. I would hope that Trump is looking at both Rudy and Chris Christie as possible AG nominations. Both fought corruption tooth and nail, with the results to back it up. We need that in an AG today!
The Negro race is angry with itself. It is ashamed at watching other races of the world prosper as they stay stagnant. Unable to move within itself, to break the hold it has upon itself.
I have no answers but, that is the problem.
1052 you're a moron. What Giuliani said is absolutely true. Quit being a tool. 🔨⚒🛠 1100 perhaps if they stopped voting for Democrats they'd see their worlds prosper like other races. They continually vote for their own demise and then blame others for their indigent plight. If you want to make 💵 Then quit voting for democrats.
lol...you're the moron. Rudy will be branded a racist, by the left. Undoubtedly. I'm a fan of the guy, ya dunce!
Watching Police Chief David Brown give press conference. The Administration and those running for office need to listen to him. He is so on point! What a little common sense can do!
They all need to be respectful of decorum.
I had one cut in line and when I called the bitch out - everyone behind me cheered - her response..."I was standing in line over there"...my response - "You standing in the wrong line is not our problem". The agent told her to wait...we cheered - she told us to "F*** *ff!". Kudos to the agent for keeping the entitled turd in line.
My heart goes out to Police Chief Brown. A most sad situation for him no doubt. He's lost four of his officers with others wounded. The future is uncertain for their safety. BLM is responsible and should be treated as such.
Does anyone know if OUR police chief has reached out to the Dallas Police Department? I know when that State Trooper died 15 years ago, Dallas sent one of their cars to ride in the entourage.
Black lives matter no more than any other lives.
Lol. U finger pointing racist need clean up the trash in your race like Heather Koon in Ohio before you spend all day being the hippocrite, hating, race baiting, conflict inciting loving folk you are. Smh
Funny while in Ocean city two white ladies cut through the line to cross through & fail to say excuse me. I guess when u called the "bitch out" you did so in a respectful and concerned manner huh? You appear to be the type who want respect & don't give it. Guess all whites need decorum judging from your polite rant.
You are right. Just like white lives doesn't either.
I agree that black and every other race should be respectful to respectful police, and everyone else.
Police also need to be taught to be respectful to the citizens they serve. It is all a two-way street.
