Will Stack – What A Profound Education !
When blame is placed on parents, schools, culture, poverty, etc. for illiteracy and bad morals we should ask — Just where did Will Stack get educated? He seems to have got it ALL RIGHT !

Will Stack’s traffic stop video goes viral http://www.msn.com/en-us/video/watch/will-stacks-traffic-stop-video-goes-viral/vi-AAaTS3M
The significance of this monumental event is summarized in the last point and you may want to go there first to share WHY this is such a RARE sighting — something hopefully not totally obsolete (See *** 7).
1 First, Will Stark has the courage and self-confidence to speak up.
2 He has the knack to produce, publish, and broadcast a selfie video on Facebook.
3 His message is clear, hits a chord and obviously speaks to millions — gone viral.
4 His media follow-up is equally articulate, even after some serious criticism that he fails to understand the issues. He, nevertheless, does show a rich grasp of the issues and does not diminish the seriousness of current race/policing relationships.
5. He is humble and straightforward and not showing ego or “change the world” advocacy. He is surprised by the celebrity attention he has drawn.
6 The BIG QUESTION is — Where did this 21 year old get his education: 1) parents; 2) schools; 3) military training; 4) culture; 5 other? This is important because with the problems we now have — domestically and worldwide — people like Will Stack are seriously needed to stop the political, polarized, knee-jerk behaviors, which demonstrate so much ignorance and poor judgment.
What can we learn about Will’s education so that others can also gain the qualities of heart and mind so commendable here?
*** 7 This is part of what his message is about:
A – A police officer is a public servant who is there to protect and serve.
B – There are protocols to follow.
C – “Not all officers are crooked… racist, bad people”.
D – “Just because you're black doesn't mean you're a victim, just because you're white doesn't mean you're a racist, just because you're a cop doesn't mean you're a bad person.”
E – “This world really needs to stop putting labels on people and things and see them as who they are: people doing things. Ignorance has no color. God doesn't see color. Why should we?
