I have a friend who told her son never to run down the street because you never know what happened and he might "fit the description." It's a shame that these are conversations we have to have with or young men.<BR/><BR/>It's sad, but most people I know do not trust the police. Their job is suppose to be to protect and serve but, unfortunately some of them think a badge gives them permission to do whatever they want.Strongblkwmnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943807196468824583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-34211774997149679862009-01-14T11:37:00.000-05:002009-01-14T11:37:00.000-05:00I hate to hear stories like yours.My son is 3 and ...I hate to hear stories like yours.<BR/><BR/>My son is 3 and I hate the fact, I have to tell/teach him not to make any sudden moves, etc when dealing with the police.
