Will someone please tell Darren Wilson

69. i think that is a part of it

but the eagerness to swallow whole these fantastical self-serving tales? i am not sure what that is about. i think stereotypes about black men run deep, and are independent of political affiliation. i just posted about my very first encounter with The Police when i was 7. it was during the watts riots, and my family lived nearby. The authorities must have issued some sort of edict, because all of the kids in the neighborhood were called into our houses. And then the cops came...all white cops in cruisers, with shotguns hanging out of the windows. in our area, The Police were an occupying force of white strangers who didn't live anywhere near us. i learned to mistrust and fear The Police. i know others here have different experiences that shape their views...but that was my introduction to The Police. of course that was almost 50 years ago, and i have had good and bad experiences with police since then. but that was MY introduction to The Police. i am sure people who lived in predominantly minority areas...or poor areas have similar experiences.
