Traffic, walking. Some times they say I fit the description, some times its what are you doing here. My cousin was killed by the police before he turned 21. Under Gulliani the undercover police were granted get out of jail free cards and some still have them.
the less I have to do with them the better. I am from a people who had more to fear from the police than the thugs. (Tell me your hanging story and you will understand). This is 400 years of oral history for me.

I'm confused. If they stopped you many times and never attacked you,
then what makes you think they will? I'm trying to understand this,
so please excuse me if I don't quite get it. Are they insulting?
Threatening? When you say "stopped" it sounds like stopped as in
"traffic ticket". Is that accurate? Or do they give you a very hard
and frightening time? Please explain.
