In terms of what the media has been covering and these recent events of police brutality becoming so common, what story really hit home for you? Every single act of police brutality has had a significant effect on my mentality and the way I view America. I hate police. There no such thing as a good cop to me. Never really experienced a situation where I felt protected by them. I’ve had multiple encounters with police, who didn’t treat me with any respect and I’ve been locked up twice for “dumb sh*t”. It’s even hard to have a simple conversation with a officer without them treating you like a suspect. It reminds me of a gang. Everyone from Trayvon up to the recent Sandra Bland case is absolutely disgusting. This is the one of the only countries that this happens in. F*ck racism. F*ck the police.
