Sandye, girl I wish I had the answers but I don't.
I'm sorry you are put in the position to worry the way you do and worry about your son being a teenager. This makes me sad and mad. When I read that part of your post it broke my heart and I just wanted to cry. In my heart I don't want to believe it happens but it does.

My thoughts were my gosh no one should have to worry about driving down the street listening to music and enjoying themselves. No mother or father should have to worry about their son or daughter going out and getting beat up by the people we hire to protect us. Shame on us for letting it happen and especially because of the color of there skin, their sexual preference, the crowd they hang out with, the way they dress, the car they drive or music they listen too.

It all gets back to being predjudice and first impressions. I hope as a parent I have taught my children to judge each person as an individual and respect the differences in others. Everyone is different and thats what makes us special. Kids should be able to express themselves and enjoy being a kid.

I know prejudice and stereo-typing is out there you see to much of it on tv to not believe it.I also know that to fix the things that are wrong we have to all work together. Any public servant should be held accountable for their mistakes and brutality should never be acceptable.

I know that most police officers are out there everyday risking there lives for us. It's that small percentage that are responsible for the brutality should be disaplined. We need to find a way to let the police officers do the job we hired them to do and rid our public offices of all the prejudices and brutality.

I didn't mean to go on so long and ramble but I wanted to say we do need to do something about it.
Sandye love you girl... HUGS
