So what have we learned? We learned that you can make even a suburban white kid decide not to help the cops because they think that cops can't be trusted and are not safe, just by mistreating them in one single incident, on one day.
Now imagine a Black kid 🙋🏿♂️ who's had hundreds of unsafe interactions with cops, since he was 12 years old.
As a kid, I had that growth spurt that made me 6 ft tall, and I've been mistreated ever since. And my experience is not unique.
