My Bishop told us the church to teach our children (black teens) that when we get pulled over we should have our license and registration already out that it should be placed on the dashboard, windows down and arms on the steering wheel. He also mention that we are treated differently and that our main objective is making home alive. Though I agree that making it home is key, my ways of handling the situation are different. I being average would want to know the reason for being pulled over first. If I did nothing wrong, why was I targeted? I just feel that we shouldn't have to do extra because we're black or any other color. We shouldn't have to do more just because we're aren't white. Why should we have to bend over backward to someone who clearly doesn't belong in a police uniform? Their no more special than us, vice versa and not saying don't comply, but asking why extra? I wouldn't want to live in a place like that, that isn't the America I stand for. We were brought up singing the national anthem, "The land of the free and the home of the brave" but what's really going on? Do they really believe in the songs they teach or is it brainwashing? My look on police officers are different. They're not like the cops you seen growing up, you know, the super cups, Axel Foley, Robocop, or the Police Academy. Those cops protected you; they had style and they put bad guys away. Nah, the cops in real life aren't super at all, in fact they're worse than the cops on Gotham. I don't trust them and wouldn't call them even if I was at gun point. They seem to be more crooked than the people they lock up. And the people above them seem to be even more crooked. The system is corrupt and to be honest, change seems improbable. I thought that having a great President like the one we have, President Obama, would make a difference but I understand, there's only so much one man can do and trust me he's done more than ten president put together but still he acknowledges police officers and the good in those that are good. But to be honest, to me, just on this part, he's living in a dream. Sort of like I was when I was growing up. If they are some good officers out there, they have to stand up in a time like this and speak out. They have to lead the protest to protect and give themselves a good name. We can't acknowledge you if you're quiet and watching innocent people be murdered. That makes you just as guilty and on the real, I wonder how you sleep at night. I find myself tossing and turning trying to understand it all, trying not to go crazy. We have racist police officers still in 2016, who would kill you and get away with it with no problem. They are killing innocent people and getting paid for leave. Where is the justice, I mean WHERE IS THE JUSTICE! Even if they're recorded they are given a slap on the wrist. The system is corrupt and evil and enough is enough. So we prayed but what's next? And tell me, why are we praying for something we can change? If you was laying down but could walk, would you pray to walk? No, you would just get up. It's time to do more than pray; let's kick them out! All the crooked cops, the racists cops, the scary cops because if you're scared, why do you have a gun? If you're racial profiling, how can you serve and protect me or truly handle a disturbance? And why are cops shooting to kill in the first place? There should be a 10 year sentence for every bullet they hit you with and life for murder. If the police officer is wearing a body camera and it comes off, there should be a fine and if it was during a murder, there should be a sentence. Police officers shouldn't get paid on leave and there should be a checkup at least every two years to see police thought process. Let's paint a picture; if the police that are crooked continue to get away with killing innocent people, what do you think will eventually happen? Enough is enough, something has to change. 66.191.201.162
