Imagine the world we live in without any type of piece officer in it. We would live in chaos and disaster. Trust me I am a tatted up whiteboy and I get my fair share of harrasment as well I have been cuffed and held at gunpoint while they search my ride and say it was just a big misunderstanding. It is B.S. but in the end the first person to always be there if we are in and auto accident in a Police officer, they are always the ones that put there ass on the line reguardless of the situation. Bottom line I am thankful for the good ones and the bad ones have Karma in there future. God bless the families of the fallen officers from this week, and we may never know the true details but to protest one persons death to the four lives that were lost to his seems a bit hypocritical to me.. :confused: [/qb][/QUOTE]If you notice the ones not understanding or having a complaint are either A) not from there. or B) Not from there and dont plan to go there. So it is very easy to have a "moral of the story" or a "bottom line" type resolution. But believe me fellas. It is not that cut and dry. And no one ever said that they did not want the police. They want fair treatment by the police. And that is not too much to ask in my opinion. In the end we all have opinions and not saying mine is right. But just think about the other half of the coin and maybe that will help calm all the "Oakland residents are trash" statements. Also I to think to protest this is really ridiculous. But most feel "hell the score is like 16-4". Which is wrong to think that way, but you can't really blame them. (oh and 16 is a made up number. just used to drive a point home) [/qb][/QUOTE]People need to leave then, so they provide a better enviroment for there kids. Yes, it may be your "home" but at some point you need to do whats right for yourself and your family. All we here is Oakland is so horrible this, the cops are so horrible that. Well there is always greener grass, all it takes is will power and determination to better your situations and surroundings. Mike [/qb][/QUOTE]Again you make it sound so easy. I was fortunate to do it and it took basketball mixed with my own volition. But it really isnt that easy. Again you wont understand it until you live it. Hell if it weren't for my aunt I would probably be still in The Boot. [/qb][/QUOTE]Hey N8, Your right, to me it is that easy. All the stuff you earn and did because you wanted it bad enough right? You had the willpower and motivation to do it. I do not look on that as fortunate. You busted your ass to be where you are at today. Fortunate is to win the lotto. Hard work and determiniation will get you where you need to go. If more people had the will and determination to do what you did, there would be less occurances of this. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually I was blessed with good jumping ability and a killer crossover. So yea I cultivated it, but not everyone has a talent that can exploited. Not everyone's grandmother can put them AAU basketball. Not everyones aunt facilitates a cross country move for her nephews. Hell not everyone has a good family support structure. So I wouldn't give myself 100% of the credit. I cannot put words to it, but the streets have a uncanny knack for locking folks in and creating a sense of comfort in a rather uncomfortable place. Like the old saying goes, "Poverty is paradise". Go figure. [/QB][/QUOTE]
