I had a co worker say that jokingly to me the other day. I started to think how much conflict drives our lives. Lets just take two things away from the equation. War and crime. If Neither of these existed what would happen to us. War and crime creates jobs. These subjects are not light subjects and I could fill this blog up with endless rants. I just felt like pondering on the subject matter. We got prisons, bomb factories, counseling, hospitals, and a slue of other places that profit off of these misfortunes.
Am I saying these things are good; no!! I just would like to ask the age old question what comes first the chicken or the egg? For Gods sake they are building more prisons then schools!!!
People we just need to think perpetuation is a terrible thing here!!!

Shoot me, beat me, arrest me, but you won’t disrespect me!!!
Before I start to rant let me say this. I know a cop's job is hard and I respect good cops. I do ask what is a good cop if there sworn to protect a bad cop and not say anything. I offer all you good cops a suggestion. Question the motives of a follow officer, you might be in it to protect and serve, your partner might be in it to break a nigga's neck. Just something to think about.
With the Sean Bell situation and a little situation I was in with the police the other day, it begs me to ask why some cop's can't be respectful toward people. If I feel threatened by anyone, including police it is a natural thing for a human being to react. Fight or flight. Just because you have that badge and gun does not mean I can't react how nature warrants me to (no pun intended). It might even make me react more so. If I did not do anything illegal and was not disrespectful to you and you put your hands on me or speak to me in a disrespectful tone, I will react. My reaction may get me arrested, shot, or beat down unmercifully (if I don't beat you down first because like I said if I didn't do anything you will not put your hands on me).
I guess this blog comes from some comments I heard made by people about the Sean Bell tragedy. Some people say you were not there, you do not know what happened. I say your right. That's why you shouldn't be so sure the police handled the situation the way they said. Some say he was trying to run over a cop. I say if he were would 50 shots stop the car, no. Would 50 shots make him put his foot on the break, probably not? I say maybe he was in a place he didn't want to be. He was scared because he knew how you do and tried to drive out of there, (you remember fight or flight), as I would if I feared for my life, cops or not. I see he was proved right in thinking his life was in danger. You say cause and effect, I say cause and effect.
The judge says his past criminal history gave them the green light to react as they did. So if that is the case, what makes them not stop him because of that same history? What makes them not disrespect him because they see him as a criminal? Isn't that profiling and illegal? I know it goes on all the time but now a judge just said it was ok to do. PEOPLE WAKE UP!! I'm glad we live in a free society where you can change your life and be looked at for what is in the future and not in the past. Oh shit sorry I was dreaming for a min, hold on while I listen to why I'm not right for the job, oh but that was 10 years ago and not even supposed to be able to be seen on my record. Yeah yeah better luck next time. Prayers go out to the Bell family.
