I , as a BLACK AMERICAN have been pulled over COUNTLESS times by the police , in anywhere from Multimillion dollar neighborhoods, to Poverty stricken slums , to Redneck, hillbilly country roads , MOST TIMES while being locked and loaded with a LICENSED , 40 Cal Handgun Sometimes with even more than 1 gun . I have been Searched and questioned , sometimes for HOURS But not ONCE has anything EVER gone violent. WHY ? Because I made 1 choice and 1 choice only , and that was to RESPECT THEIR AUTHORITY , and respect their orders , because I'd rather leave HUMBLE with a HANDSHAKE than leave lifeless in a BODY BAG . Police officers have 1 goal , and 1 goal only . And that is to make it home to their loved ones at the end of shift . If the REST of america , had the SAME AGENDA , This world would be so much different .
