Man society is breaking down. Individually, I like just about every person I meet regardless of race. It's not okay to do bad things people. I know there are officers that are bad here and there but it's not nearly as widespread as the media portrays it to be. There's probably close to a billion police contacts done every single year. Statistically speaking, there's plenty negative to be drawn from numbers so large. We just need to find a way as Americans to transcend the hate toward one another and start loving each other for none of us are perfect regardless of our station or predicament in the world.
