I’ve made mistakes in my life, too. But I’ve never stolen anything from a convenience store. I never punched a cop in the face. I’ve always avoided walking down the middle of busy streets (if for no other reason than not to get run over - the threat of a cop bothering me about it is sort of an afterthought).
I’ve especially not punched a cop in the face. Although I’m not a black male, I wouldn’t expect good things to come of such an action.
I’ve made mistakes too. But if a cop told me to get out of the middle of the road, I would comply without an “attitude”.
