We were driving by the scean last week when it happened and wondered what the hell was going on, there were 17 (no really we counted) including unmarked cars and vans. It looked like the god dam PD was going to war.

See this is the stuff that Really bothers me, I know other things lead to it, but living here in the bronx, and with my husband teaching in the south bronx I know at anytime he may not come home and it could just as well be the PD as one of his students. (he teaches kids who have been kicked out of school for violence)

THAT DOESNT GIVE THE POLICE THE RIGHT TO USE DEADLY FORCE

Cops are trigger happy. ESPECIALLY the NYPD. The NYPD is known for corruption, killing, even sexual assault (both men and women). They are the worst of the worst.

I'm beginning to see this more and more. I've been lucky--the only time I've been pulled over by a cop, it was a woman, so I didn't feel nearly as terrified as I would be a male cop.

And people said that what happened to Stoney's brother in the beginning of Set If Off was too unrealistic...
