Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani dismissed concerns of African-Americans who are afraid that their children might become the next Alton Sterling or Philando Castile if they are stopped by a cop, saying they should teach their kids to fear other black children instead.
Appearing on Face The Nation, the former Republican politician and failed presidential candidate stated that black kids need to be more "respectful to the police."
"If you want to protect black lives, then you got to protect black lives not just against police, which happens rarely, although with tremendous attention," he claimed. "If you want to deal with this on the black side you've got to teach your children to be respectful to the police."
"When you focus in on 1 percent of less than 1 percent of the murder that's going on in America and you make it a national thing, and all of you in the media make it much bigger than the black kid who's getting killed in Chicago every 14 hours, you treat it disproportionately," he asserted.
According to research done by The Guardian, black males between the ages of 15 and 34 were nine times more at risk of being killed by cops than any other demographic group, accounting for 15 percent of all police officer related deaths in 2015 despite representing a mere 2 percent of the U.S. population.
Giuliani, however, claimed that police are still nothing to worry about within the black community.
"You’ve got to teach your children that the real danger to them is not the police," he continued. "The real danger to them, 99 out of 100 times are other black kids who are going to kill them, that's the way they're going to die."
