Yes, I really wish certain people would STOP doing that when it comes to MY posts.

Trust me, I have NO PROBLEM saying what I want to say as I don't know anyone here nor care to.

Brothers is spelled "B-r-o-t-h-a-s" and sistas has no apostrophe between the "s" and the "a".

For future reference.

You could say what ever you want. Just know what you are saying doesn't amount to the truth, so don't be upset when people make you aware of that.

99% of us, black, white, asian, mexican, etc, go through every day of our lives with no negative interactions with the police because we obey the law and act civilized if we are questioned. The one percent who get into trouble are the ones who don't see it that way.

As I mentioned in another thread, I left my shop at about 1 am one night and a police car lit me up. I pulled over, gave him my license, and explained why I was back in that area so late at night. He went on his way and I went on mine (after I thanked him for keeping an eye on our neighborhood) and that was the end of it. Not beatings, no shootings, nothing. I even called his barracks the next day and thanked the Sargent there for what the cop did the night before. I was not offended that I was "profiled" like so many who are stopped by the police. If I would have gotten all huffy and said I have a right to drive on any street in America at any time I want, I bet the outcome would not have been so good. Cops are only doing their jobs.

It ain't rocket science.

You mean like this guy, shot by police while on his knees and handcuffed?
