Multiple cities.
That's a big protest.

And probably be a tad bit larger when the
jury comes to a decision tomorrow night.

And while some will be starting fires,
and others safe in front of their tvs,

I'll be right here taking
your calls on the roost.

Get at your girl.

You may be placed under arrest.

Are you kidding me?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Do you see yourself?
Look at you!

This is us. These are our brothers.
Our sisters.

And they're killing us.
You're worse than them.

How much are they
paying you, huh?

How much are they fucking paying you
to act like a god damn clown, huh?

Huh?

Your silence, is our violence.

Move back!

I can give you 20 reasons
why I wanted to be cop.

Yeah. That's right.

20 reasons.

You've heard them all before.
They're clich駸.

Each and every one of them.

Drawn to the job.

It's what I was born to do,
as long as I can remember.

I look good in a uniform.

Love them donuts.

All that good shit.
There's other shit too.

Shit I wouldn't
announce that I like.

But I love.

Them bonuses.

Surprises.

Advantages.

The coffee.

Fuck! Ah, shit, man!

To contribute to something
much larger than you.

Being part of... A community.

An ability to make even the tiniest
difference in a person's life.

The respect you earn from each
and every life that you touch.

And even if they think
they don't respect you.

They do.

They just don't know it yet.

There are days I feel
like I only get paid

to point out when you're wrong,

and exercise my state
permission to correct you.

Other days I just listen to when you
tell me how the system failed you.

And I promise you; Every
day, every single day,

Someone tells me how to do my job.
Which is fine.

We all have our
ways we see things.

But, I'll tell you...
My red isn't your red.

Your blue isn't my blue.
My white's not your white.

And my black sure as
hell isn't your black.

Who's talking to me?

Hi there.

I just want to say, when the
rate of black on white murders

is nine times as high as
white on black murders...

- Nine?
- Something like that.

Yeah, because that's
a high number.

Well maybe, but still if
the ratio of white murders

is even say, six to one, tell me who the
victim is and who the victim isn't?

You waiting for me to answer?

No. I...

Would you like to answer?

And they hung up.
Surprise surprise.

We're hearing from "you", not because
we want to, but because we like to.

Get at your girl.

ｶ screams gettin' gullied ｶ

ｶ no support from they idols and
they dreams gettin' sullied ｶ

ｶ they wavin' automatic
guns at anyone ｶ

ｶ it's not just guns, it's
daughters and scared sons... ｶ

okay, so it's a red bike.
It's a vintage red bike.

And, uh, on the handle bars
there are black grips.

It's a vintage red bike.

You going to write this down?

- No, I got it.
- You got it?

- Mm-hm.
- Okay so what happens if you get it mixed?

I got it. Red bike, left bar
tape missing, leather seat.

Road x model d.

No, no, no. There's
no bar tape missing.

On the handle bars
there are black grips.

And you had it here on the step?

Yes. I left it right here. Came
up and they hacked it off.

Took it with the chain
and everything.

Okay, did anyone else see it?

No. No one saw it. Otherwise, you
know, I would have it, right?

Are you sure you just
didn't leave it somewhere?

I mean maybe that's
exactly what happened.

Look, can you... Can you please
just do your job for me?

What does it look
like I'm doing?

Killing kids.

Ah, come again?

Yo, it's-

see, why would someone go ahead
and say some shit like that?

I don't know, okay?

Some... some people are
assholes, I guess.

I guess. And assholes
know everything, right?

Does anybody else want
to talk to me? Hm?

The bike?

The bike.

Here, write it down.

Write it down, in
case my hand slips.

And I make a mistake.

We haven't officially met.

You can call me black cop.
Negro officer.

African American law
enforcement agent.

Minority po-po. Upstanding poc.

That's not how I
left the pencil.

Sellout 5-0. Traitor. House nigger.
Black cop.

I heard it all. I'm
a guy doing a job.

I am not perfect at
it, but I do it well.

Thank you.

I like my job.

You know some people,
they don't like my job.

They don't like me in my job.

"Our people," well, they
don't like me period.

Probably because the last 14
people I put in handcuffs

were black men and women
under the age of 25.

Harsh? Yeah, of course.

But, hey, I didn't get the
nickname boogeyman for being soft.

Stop talking to me.

And it's that reason that
people tell me all the time

that I have lost touch
with my blackness.

On the contrary.
I am very black.

I'm an expert.

But, like I said, my
black isn't your black.

But, you don't
always see my black.

You probably never see it.

But you ain't color
blind, are you?

I never told my father I
was going to be a cop.

He died before I got my badge.

I knew he wouldn't
be happy about it.

He never liked them.

He didn't trust them.

He would say to me,

"you only need to know one
thing about it, boy."

If a cop ever stops you,
for any reason at all,

even if it's for the time...

You freeze, put your
hands in the air,

"and hope to hell you live
to see the next day."

But I was never one to
listen to my father.

Excuse me, sir. Sir,
hold on a minute.

Stop, please.

Stop where you are. Hold it!

Ah. I wouldn't do
that if I were you.

I can't hear you. My music's on.

I'm going to remove
my earphones now.

What can I do for you?

You don't need to be talking right
now you need to be listening.

Excuse me, man I just
went to go ge...

I need to ask you a
couple of questions...

For what?

Sir, don't make this
hard for yourself.

What's hard? What are you...?

Just a minute. Can, I help you?

- Hey, let me just tell...
- Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

No. I just wanted...

Calm down! What do you want?

Nothing.

I mean, I'm not with him
or anything, I just...

Get outta here.

Hold on, are you
fucking kidding me?

Don't worry about him, pal.

What do you mean don't worr...
Don't call me pal.

You, uh, you live around here?

What are you up to tonight?
Wanna tell us your name?

I'm buying water, man.

Do you wanna have a
conversation now?

Sure.

Your name.

I don't have to tell you my name.
And back this guy off me, man.

There's been a disturbance
in the neighborhood.

That's great.

I want to talk to you. I
want to identify you.

- For what?
- I asked you to identify yourself.

I didn't tell you. And now
you're being hostile.

Yo, back you're man off of me.
Yo, step back from me, man.

You might want to
lose the aggression.

There is no aggression here.

Let's try this again.

Yo, back off of me and maybe
we can have a conversation.

You don't tell us how this goes.

With all do respect, that's
what exactly what I'm doing.

Hey. Hey. And why is your
hand on your piece, man?

Okay, sir.

10-78 on a possible 10-17.

You know what? Go. Go
ahead and radio this in.

Embarrass yourself.

I'm not going to ask you again.

Here you want some ID, man? All
right here's my fucking ID.

- Hold it. Don't move!
Put it down!

And when my father
told me that shit,

I was like, damn...

Who wouldn't want that type
of power over someone.

We're going to let
you head home now.

What can I say?
Unfortunate mistake.

I mean, you could have just said right
off the start you were one of us.

You came off pretty
ignorant and aggressive.

All right. Let's get
these cuffs of you.

Out of all those reasons,

I only care about one.

As a number of cities
preparing for the worst

awaiting the grand
jury's verdict

following a shooting of an unarmed black
teen that began with jaywalking...

Looters have already...

After a night of
violent protests

sparked by a police shooting.

- What do we want?
- Justice!

- When do we want it?
- Now!

ｶ little one gotta
heed my warning ｶ

ｶ devil is kind ｶ

ｶ he come in early morning ｶ

ｶ devil is fine ｶ

ｶ he go by many names ｶ

ｶ devil is kind ｶ

ｶ we gonna go home
to the flames ｶ

ｶ devil is fine ｶ

ｶ he gon' forgive my sin ｶ

ｶ devil is kind ｶ

ｶ he promise many things ｶ

ｶ devil is fine ｶ

ｶ I can't do him no wrong ｶ

ｶ devil is kind ｶ

ｶ I see him before long ｶ

ｶ devil is fine ｶ

ｶ nobody gonna show
you the way now ｶ

ｶ nobody gonna hold
your hand no ｶ

ｶ nobody gonna show
you the way now ｶ.

My dad used to say that
a change in attitude

is due to blacks being
defensive by nature

which is mistaken as
being aggressive.

See, aggression comes when
you feel disrespected.

Being impolite is sometimes
mistaken for ignorance,

meaning a lack of knowledge.

Impolite defensiveness
versus ignorant aggression.

See, I think, we can
be all those things.

The real challenge, is finding
the right combination.

ｶ little one better
run for your life ｶ

ｶ devil is fine ｶ

ｶ oh, little one where you
going with that knife? ｶ

ｶ devil is kind ｶ

ｶ nobody gonna show

ｶ little one gotta

ｶ devil is fine ｶ.

That's not what I'm saying.
That's not the point.

And it's pronounced moo-slim.

You know what's
fucked up about that,

now that we're on the subject?

It's like calling a
vegan a beefitarian.

You know why?

Moo. Like the cow.

You can't eat beef. Get me?

A "mooslim" can't eat beef.

That Allah is a practical
joker, isn't he now?

You had kibbi yesterday.

- Yeah, so?
- It's beef.

You had a beef dish from a
"mooslim" food counter.

Right. Well,

I didn't see anyone behind
the counter eating it.

Actually it's pork, I think.

You don't eat pork if you're...

Yes, I do.

I don't know why we're talking
about food in the first place.

What is the point?

The point?

The point is, before you
start questioning my, uh,

what did you call it...
"Bigotry" on religion, okay,

you should know that one
of my friends is a Muslim,

so you can't go around throwing
those cards at me, okay?

It's nothing personal out there.
It's rules.

Don't wear the hijab.
End of story.

Our country's got rules.
You gotta obey them.

People get told
everyday what to wear.

Look at us, we gotta
to wear uniforms.

I walk around here buck naked,
I'm not gonna get service.

That's a rule.

If it's about the head gear...

Just don't do it.

I can't protect you if I don't
know what you look like.

I got to see the whole thing.

Transfer. Second day
off, two months.

I gotta piss.

He's nicer than a
crossing guard,

and completely fucking with you.

Strange way of doing it.

I almost cuffed him
for the hell of it.

Second day, huh?

Yeah, pretty uneventful.

You riding alone too?

Aren't we always?

You okay? You seem...

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm good.
I'm good.

Hope day three is a charm.

Okay. Imagine the lineup.

"Which one of them stole
your purse, ma'am?"

"I think it's the one
with her face covered."

They're all covered.

I mean, you can't go in a
country and be all like

"I can wear want I want,
it's the way we do things."

I go to Libya walk
around naked saying,

"it's my culture,
I'm a nudist...",

my ass is going to jail.

It's a Muslim country.

Pardon me... moo-slim.

You actually believe that shit?

Nope. Not even close.

But, I gotta look at all
sides of the story.

Even the version I don't like.

Look, it's not like I like
playing devil's advocate.

But I gotta do it.

It makes me a better cop.

Sometime you just gotta
wear the other shoe.

You gotta admit though,
that was funny, right?

Cheers.

None of that makes sense.

If you hate something why
do it in the first place?

What's that?

If you claim that you don't
support something...

Challenge it.

What? What you looking at?

Typical. Always profiling.

Martin died, was because
he looked a certain way.

And that way is how
"gangstas" look.

Crushing loss to the bearcats...

Slamming a female student
to the ground...

Fundamentally if you have some
respect for your teachers,

this doesn't happen...

Have here is the
escalation of force...

First the verbalized,

and he failed to comply
with the verbal commands.

I mean, this man...

Don't think police
are your enemies,

don't run at 8:30 in the
morning when you see a cop...

The girl was no Saint either.

He had told her to leave and
she continued to linger...

He made contact, verbalized,
he was polite...

If you obey the police it
doesn't usually happen...

Aside from the fact he was
dressed in that thug wear...

Realize you can't
resist arrest...

comply. Please listen...

thug wear... Comply
and complain later.

To be fair and in defense
of the police...

bad decisions by a cop,
but those decisions

wouldn't have been made if
the perps didn't run away.

We all need to do our part.

If you aren't doing
anything unlawful,

then you shouldn't have
anything to worry about.

- And I'm black, okay?
- I knew that.

- Really, how?
- Oh, just a hunch.

You know, that's the problem.

People like you
depend on the divide.

Where would you be without
all this tension?

Paid equally, probably.

You're not funny.
What are you doing?

My part.

33, what do you got?

10-23 on site.

They asked him nicely
to move his truck.

He apparently got out and left.

Can you call for a removal?

- Copy. Will do.
- Thanks. You're a gem.

I know. Echo 97,
good morning to you.

10-8 and a good morning to you.

Copy that. What's your location?

- I'm not reading your GPS.
- Yeah?

Seems like it's a dud.

Guess I'm going to
have to go without it.

As long as you know
where you're going.

Yeah. I do.

Copy 6. Go ahead.

Yeah. I'm on a situation
along bloomdon.

Two black teens causing
a disturbance.

Copy.

Looks like they're
about to do a 10-31.

Which is?

Looks like they're
about to do a deal.

About or doing?

Same thing. If the shoe fits...

Look I'm going to go make sure
that they aren't up to anything.

Do you need a 10-78? Over.

No. Should be fine.

I'm not the one that needs
to be careful. Over.

Copy.

I can't breathe...

I know.

- It's all good, man.
- Is it?

- Yeah.
- Get the fuck outta here.

Hitting them donuts big man.
Giddy up.

Come on.

I was called to the principal's
office just two times in my life.

The first time was for fighting.

Another student was constantly
referring to me as "Dutch fudge,"

like the cookie.

Yeah.

I admit that shit's a bit funny.

No, no. It's okay.

Everyone else thought so too.

And he did this shit
every day for two weeks.

Sat down beside me,

waved the cookie in
the air and ate it.

The last time he did that,

that cookie flew
out of his hand,

when I swung my copy of "math is
fun volume 2" across his face...

A whole lot of times.

Instead of eating that cookie,

he ate some pages of the book.

I was nine years old.

And they brought me into
the office and they say,

"oh there are better ways
to deal with your anger."

I'm like, "well yeah,
I just found one."

You know, that kid just
got off with a warning.

And I got suspended

and told I got
violent tendencies.

The principal,

he's in jail now.

Oh, no, no. I had has
nothing to do with that.

That's his story.

Matter of fact, I wish him well.

But it ain't even about that.

It is about today.
My retirement day.

And it's only right
that I make it

the best day of
policing I can make it.

I mean everything by the book.

All of my
self-righteous bullshit

haa... out the window.

You know, because,
I can go proud

because I know...

There are better ways
to deal with my anger.

So I'm gonna do it.

I don't know about you,
but something tells me

today is a going to
be an amazing day.

Tomorrow? Well, different story.

Something's going to burn.

And it ain't my marshmallows.

I'm in the mood for a song.

Maybe this one will help nudge you
in the right direction today.

Enjoy.

ｶ don't shoot at some cops that
try to act like they own you ｶ

ｶ they confiscate the cameras and
they snatchin' the phones too ｶ

ｶ they grass and tear gas you but
don't get too close to them ｶ

ｶ here to protect and serve ｶ

ｶ yeah, that's not what
these folks doin' ｶ

ｶ cause right now, ain't no
justice for Mike brown ｶ

ｶ white towns, and they just
expect us to pipe down ｶ.

Any units in the area of bilby?

Units in the area of bilby.

We have a report of
a suspicious male.

Grey shirt. Possibly thirties.

On foot. Recent car
breaks in the area. Over.

Is uh... Something wrong?

What are you doing, sir?

- I'm running?
- From?

- Pardon me?
- What are you running from?

I don't understand.

We have reports of
a suspicious man

in a grey top running from
the scene of a crime.

What's that got to do with me?

Well, you're a man in a
grey top running from...

Hey, look, that's crazy.
Anyone can have a grey top.

First of all, don't cut me off.

Second of all,
drop the attitude.

I'm not giving you any attitude.

You have identification?

Look I'm wearing my sweats.
I don't have my wallet.

You can't be serious.

Oh, I'm very serious,

although I generally have an
excellent sense of humor.

Sir, do you really want to
carry on with me right now?

No.

Then I suggest you
cooperate with me, please,

or things won't end
well on your end.

Wait. Am I being
accused of something?

I'm asking the questions here

and you still haven't
answered me.

- What are you asking?
- I've asked you twice already.

I don't remember.

You don't remember where
you're running from?

No. Wait. I don't
remember the question.

I'm out for a run.
People do that.

I know, I deal with
them all the time.

Hey just wait a minute...
I don't need this.

I didn't do anything. You
cannot talk to me like this.

Sir. Calm down and
answer the question.

No.

I don't mean...
What's going on here?

This is not right. Is there a
camera here or something? What...

Sir, just calm down and
answer the question.

Stop this. Stop it.

Are you finished?

What? Am I finished? I
want your badge number.

See I want a lot of things,
but most of the time

I just have to deal
with what I got.

- Look, this is absol...
- Answer the question!

- I don't need this.
- Sir.

What? Do I look like a thug?

Huh? Why don't you go and
try in the north end?

- I'm a doctor.
- A doctor.

That's right.

And doctors do no
illegal activity.

- What the hell!?
- A doctor.

That's right! This...
this is crazy!

Okay, and that's your diagnosis.

You're prescribing
me to the north end?

Look, I didn't
mean it like that.

Well, I don't know
what you mean,

because you have refused to
answer any of my questions.

You're. You're...

I'm a police officer,
you're a doctor.

Well, doc, maybe you
can help me then.

See I got this strange
problem with my elbow.

I just cannot seem to stop...

Swinging my arm...

Please, I didn't do anything.

ｶ don't shoot ｶ

ｶ for those of you who don't
share my world view ｶ

ｶ don't shoot, just turn on
the news if you want proof ｶ

ｶ don't shoot, no limit
to what they won't do ｶ

ｶ swear to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth ｶ

ｶ don't shoot unless it's

ｶ don't shoot, unless you

ｶ don't shoot, we got problems

ｶ so message to you and

- ｶ don't shoot ｶ -

Have fun, doc.

- ｶ don't shoot ｶ -ｶ I'm

ｶ rip, young boo ｶ

ｶ swear to tell the whole truth

ｶ don't shoot ｶ.

It looks like it another
few days of great weather.

Let's go right to entertainment,

Joyce what is the big news from
last night's urban awards?

Big news is right.

Lots of controversy, and
debate on social media

after rapper Jake mcsweeny actually
apologized to the black nominees

after sweeping the music awards.

Apologized?

That's right. And it was met with
some skepticism and controversy.

Especially when he commented
on recent violence.

I bet.

Yeah. It doesn't stop there.
His producer, dapper Ken

caused even more, if not
worse, controversy by saying,

"you people should get over it
and stop being so hateful."

Uh-oh.

He's since corrected
the term "people"

by insisting he meant
to say "everybody",

but it still raised the
question of getting over what?

And that's what
people want to know.

Yikes.

Always unpredictable
and entertaining

but of course these guys are
no strangers to controversy.

Another head Turner was the
fashion faux pas of...

10-38 in a school zone.

Blue SUV on a joyride.

Use extreme caution.

Do you know why I
stopped you, ma'am?

Hm? Huh?

Do you how fast you were going?

You know this is a
school zone, right?

Well...

The school's been
closed for over a year.

I wasn't talking to you, sir.

License and registration.

Oh. Okay. Um... Okay.
I just.. Um...

"Um. Um um". License and
registration, ma'am.

- Is it in the...
- Can we just...

License... and registration.

Do not let me ask you again.
Let's go.

It's coming. It's coming.

It's in here. Check the
glove compartment.

You know what? Is this
vehicle in your name?

Uh, yeah. Of course it is.

All right. You're going
to stay in the car.

I'm going to call the car in.
Have your documents ready.

Wait where are you going?
What's happening?

Are we being detained?

Sir, what's going on here?
Am I getting a ticket?

Get back in the car, ma'am.

I just need to
know some answers.

Get back in the car.

I deserve to know some answers.

Oh. Get back in the car. And
don't let me ask you again.

I need to know if I'm
getting a ticket.

- Get back in the car.
- I have a right to know what's going on.

I said to get back in the car.
Get back in the car.

I will get back in the car when
you tell me what's going o-

- Okay... Don't
walk away from me.

I told you get back in the car!

Get your hands off me!

We don't want any trouble.
Just don't hurt her.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Get back!

Put that away. Put that away!

Back!

You can't do that.
You can't do that!

Stop.

Stop resisting.

Oh, my god.

Give me your hand. Give me...
your hand!

I warned you! I warned you both.

Noooo!

Okay. Give me your arm.

I'm pregnant. Oh my god.

That's fine, ma'am. That's fine.
Stay still.

My god.

Stay still. You'll
be fine, ma'am.

I'm issuing you a ticket.

My god. God.

Quiet.

Shut up!

Shhh.

I'm issuing you a ticket.

All right, here's your ticket.

I'm going to let you go.

And I want you to take care
of it as soon as possible.

All right?

Have a good one.

- Hi, you're on the air.
- Yeah, hello?

Hello. What's your take?

Well, I think, this is
about the other one

that was mentioned earlier
about the woman...

Right.

Yeah. I think the officer was justified
in handling the woman that way.

You do?

Yeah. I think, she was asked twice
to stay back, and she came at him.

She wasn't going to listen.

So the way he took her down, and
threw her, put a knee in her...

Yeah. He's doing his job right.

I wasn't there, but I
think it sounds like...

I think it sounds
worse than it was.

Okay. It was on tape too.

[] It probably looks
worse than it was too.

- He was justified.
- Thank you.

Thanks.

Hey look. I'm just
here on a bench.

I don't understand
what this is about.

I'm waiting for my kids.

I'm just going to get my kids.
And I know my rights.

- You created th...
- And i-

you do not cut me off.

You created the problem, sir.

I created the problem? What are-

That's correct. I asked you to
leave and you're not leaving.

What did I do? I'm
waiting for my kids.

This is where I'm supposed to get them.
Where else am I supposed to go?

You're trespassing because you were asked
to leave and you're not leaving, sir.

- I'm going to ask you one more time.
- Yes well, i...

Please don't let me ask
you one more time.

I know that's not how it works.

Now, I don't know what this
is about or who called you.

But I haven't done
anything wrong.

And I'm just going to sit
here and wait for my...

- Sir, get off the bench.
- What?

Sir, get off the bench.

All right.

I'm going to go over here.
And I'm going to...

Are you seeing this? I'm
going to go over here.

Seeing what? Seeing what?

Ow. Help... ohhh... Somebody...
ohh...

Shut the hell up.

Somebody...

You're on the air.

Ladies and gentleman, grab your
cameras and grab your phones

and enjoy the show!

Stop taping me.

What do you expect?

Violent actions receive
violent responses.

It's sick. We always have
to blame the victims.

Yeah. Okay. Deflect
a little more.

Thugs.

You know, in discussing this,

you got to ask the question of
which one had a criminal record.

The only race I believe
in is the human race...

Who whoa. Help. Somebody help!

- We're trying to help...
- It's all race baiting...

police are way less violent
than protesters...

- all lives matter...
- It's flat out injustice...

I'm tired of the
white bashing...

it's difficult to believe that
people are this fucking stupid...

this is nothing but
a smear campaign...

well he must have done
something to provoke it...

who's marching for that
other guy that got shot...

they're criminals...

it's people of color who can't
seem to obey simple orders...

- how innocent is he?
- If you talk

about racism, you're
the racist...

not all cops...

Yah!

Uh-huh. You're on the air.

Man, I don't get why
you're following me.

What's your name?

I don't have to
tell you my name.

Oh. Tell me your name.

Okay, no, I don't think I
have to tell you anything.

- You're trespassing.
- No. This is a school.

Are you in school?

- Yes.
- Right now?

Yeah. I'm currently
a student in...

No, I mean are you "currently"
in class at the moment?

No.

So then you're trespassing.

No. No man, I'm just... I'm
just here to get my bike.

That's all I'm doing.
This is my bike.

Oh, you're bike. That's very
interesting because we got a report

about someone stealing a bike
that looks just like this one.

Well, that's got
nothing to do with me.

I don't know that.

Dude, why are you
doing this to me?

Because.

Matter of fact,
what's in the bag?

Okay that...

- Come on, man.
- Shh. Shh.

- There's nothing in there.
- Well, let's see?

Oh, wow. Look at this.

Whoa. What the fuck? You
can't just do that.

- Shut up.
- That's harassment, man.

Shut up!

That's just my book
what the fuck?

Shut up. What else
we got in here?

You know what, man, fuck you.

- Fuck me?
- This is bullshit.

- Don't touch me!
- Turn around.

- Okay.
- Spread your legs.

Man I didn't fucking do anything.
This is fucked up.

Hey hey! Stop resisting.

Student fuck, man. Why would you that?
What the fuck?

Man. What the fuck, man?
Why would you do that?

- What's wrong... -don't make
another mother-fucking move!

Move again and I will
wet you so fast.

I will end you.

Don't shoot.

Please, don't shoot.

Thanks for being here.

No problem.

Okay. Is this what
you envisioned

when you signed up for the job?

Not exactly, no.

What did you envision it to be?

I just envisioned it to
be a little different.

A little different than
what it currently is.

I can't really put
my finger on it.

Have you ever been accused
of being a bully?

No. I don't think so.

- Huh.
- Huh.

- Interesting.
- Isn't it?

And this... this was
supposed to be funny?

No.

Okay, sorry. You said it was
going to be a funny question.

Or the bigotry or the
unfair treatment.

What do you do about it?

I mean, I just...

I cannot control those
other people, man.

I just... I do what I can do.

And I try and be the best
police officer that I can be.

But wouldn't that be protecting
and serving the community?

And I feel I do that.

If you're not doing anything to
see these other things happen?

I mean... isn't that what
the judicial system's for?

Well apparently, that's
not working so well.

Well... then you should be
questioning them not me.

I wouldn't say I'm
part of the problem.

So if you're not... doing
anything about it...

Or if you're not... When you say
there's nothing you can do...

Does that... Where
does that put you?

It puts me where I am right now.

And where's that?

Right here. Just trying
to figure it out.

So at the end of the day,
you look in the mirror.

What do you see?
Do you see a hero?

No.

No.

I see a guy just...

Just trying to do
a job, you know?

Nobody's perfect but, I
do it as good as I can.

I mean, we could always
be better, right?

If you could go back,

would you do this again
if you had the chance to?

I think I would.

I just want to go home.

Just let me go home, please.
I want to go home.

I just want to go home.

Bang.

Is it really always racial? There's
black cops too, isn't there?

I mean, I'm an advocate of
people standing up to...

Right now you're being
a devil's advocate

so, you're not really
advocating for anyone.

Look, I'm saying this:
Things are going to change,

and things are tipping.

And when it does change, shit
is going to go down hard.

I don't want be around
when it happens,

and don't get me wrong I'm going to be
in the stands with popcorn and shit,

watching it all go down,

but someone is going to
come out of the woodwork.

Someone is going to do
some crazy, crazy shit.

And when they do, everyone's
going to be sitting there going,

"what the fuck just happened?".
And we'll be like, "told ya".

10-9, did I hear that right?

I got a couple in the hospital
claiming they were assaulted.

I need someone to look into
possible 10-38 of a white se...

from one of our users on
the Facebook comments,

"whatever happened
to the hands up,"

don't shoot, can't breathe,

"just out to buy
skittles movement?"

It's also important to note that the
user name is spongebill squareshorts

and he "liked" his
own comment...

Black cop. Black cop.

Looking for your people as
you come around the block.

What's up, black cop?

Oh, sorry.

Gotta film just in
case, you know.

Keep doing what you
do, black cop.

You all scream about opinion.

Freedom of speech.

See, but ya'll
motherfuckers can't handle

when that shit hits
you back in the face.

I mean, see, that is the problem
with ya'll motherfuckers.

You think you know everything.

We all do.

See, we know everything we know.

I mean, I hear these young
brothers and they be like,

man, I'm afraid for my life.

I can't walk down the street
without looking over my shoulder

wondering if I'll make it
home from the grocery store.

Well, welcome to my world.

Living in fear is my life.

I mean, I make a traffic stop,

and I have to wonder if last night is
the last time I'm gonna see my sister.

I pull up on a domestic
dispute, and I wonder

if I'm going to get a
shotgun in my face.

I got news for you all, man.

You are not exclusive.

You are not special.

God, man, we all live in fear.

See, but terror.

Terror is different.

You can live in
terror, if you want.

But me, I live in control.

Because cycles like this
just make me dizzy.

And a dizzy man
can't stay focused.

And I'm focused.

And I am not a sellout.

How you doing?

Never better.

You heard about the Rouge
officer reports today?

Harassing civilians?

Yeah. How's Franklin?

Embarrassed mostly. He
didn't see a thing.

He got choked out from behind.

Woke up cuffed and
without his uniform.

In a dumpster.

I can't imagine.

He didn't see the guy but we're sure...
he's sure,

the suspect was working with the two males
that he was questioning this morning.

I see.

He said that they tried
to contact their crew.

He stopped it but it was too late.
Ambushed.

I'm confused.

Well. He had a couple of
teens he was questioning.

They began to call for backup
when he got jumped from behind.

Yeah, no, I got that but how
was he working with the kids?

His uniform was gone.
Taken, they think.

There's someone out there
dressed as an officer.

I know.

I was hoping that you
might know why someone

would go as far as
dressing as a cop

and making up a car to look...

I could think of a
lot of reasons.

That's why I thought to ask you.

I'm glad you understand.

You would have a
better idea being...

What? Being black?

It's a harsh reality.

- We.
- Sorry?

We would have a better idea.

Being black.

I mean, unless you're not now.

- It was a male.
- Right.

Are we done?

Uh. Yeah. Of course.

Sorry about that,
I didn't mean...

All good. I will
keep an eye out.

Careful out there.

I know it must be strange.

That's all you need is
people thinking it's you.

Nah. We all look
the same, right?

I didn't mean it that way...

Cops. We all look the same.

Right.

Well, keep doing what you do.

Oh, I plan to.

Is it difficult?

Your first week?

I know mine was.

It gets better.

At one point you understand
what it's all for.

Then when you do. Tell me.

Possible 10-38 of a white sedan.

Done up to look like
a police vehicle.

ｶ I see every one of
the four centuries ｶ

ｶ sent through these generations
until it gets to me ｶ

ｶ that psychological
weaponry accepting these ｶ

ｶ shackles on these ankles and
thinking it's feeling heavenly ｶ

ｶ I see it in a blue Iris ｶ

ｶ a new site I developed for
leading me to a new kindness ｶ

ｶ but instead it put dozens
of voices into my head ｶ

ｶ saying that, "maybe it's
time to choose violence" ｶ

ｶ then I believed in the logic and catching

ｶ a murderous batch of

ｶ many targets want

ｶ you notice how... ｶ.

Yeah, it was crazy.

He was like, a super cop, man.

He came out of nowhere.
Then he let us go.

- You're serious.
- Yeah.

Did you speak to him?

No, I'm smarter than that.
I was scared for my life.

Even though he helped you.

For sure. I mean,
he's a cop, right?

Fair enough, little brother.
Fair enough.

Man, fuck them little niggas.

They'll never understand and they sure
as hell never going to respect you.

You just go and you
do god's work, son.

That's it, then.
You bellying up?

You going to let these people
on the radio get to you?

See that's the problem.

We never get to them.
We do not get to them.

I'm better than this.

Better than what?

I'm better than this.
We're better than this.

Man, get the fuck outta here.
What, hmm?

You afraid to hurt someone?

Please.

Just get out.

Oh. Don't get self-righteous
on me now, cupcake.

You started this.
You gonna run away?

Mm-mmm. You're in too deep.

- Man, you live for this shit.
- No.

God damn. You are
not a good cop.

Hell, you're not
even a good person.

You steal. You're bitter.
You're an asshole.

Man, this shit is not
gonna make you a Saint.

For once you get some balls and
you hide them with your tail.

Oh, man.

Get mad!

God damn it, I like
you when you get mad.

You think better
when you're mad.

What else you got
to be mad about?

Get the fuck out.

Get out!

What? So what?

You gonna kill a nigger now?

Do the real work, brother.

Permission to be dismissed?

You just broke my cellphone.

I can't breathe.

I know.

How's that shoe feel?

You refused to answer
any of my questions.

You. You're. You're-

I'm a police officer
and you're a doctor.

Stop swinging my arm..

Ahhh! What are you doing?

I'll get back to the car.

- Get back in the car!
- I need to know what's going on.

Don't make another fucking move!

Don't shoot.

I just want to go home. Just
let me go home, please.

Fucked up.

Jesus.

You okay?

Red vintage bike.

"No left handle tape".
You little motherfucker.

Don't.

I don't know if you're sick on
something, but don't smile.

Don't flinch, don't move.

Easy.

I could give you 20 reasons
why I wanted to be a cop...

Imagine if I approached a
paraplegic assault victim and said,

"you should have walked away."

Imagine if I said to the
person who was on fire,

"stay calm."

Imagine if I said to
the drowning boy,

"stop struggling, you're
making it worse."

Imagine if I said to
the person choking,

"just breathe, it will pass."

Imagine if I said to
the autistic girl,

"there is no excuse for
all that frustration."

I mean, imagine...

If I said to the mother,

"there are better ways to
grieve over your child."

Imagine if I said to
the aboriginal woman,

"what about the other
girls that went missing?"

Imagine if I said to the person
who fell from the ladder,

"that wouldn't have happened if
you weren't up there though."

Imagine if I said to the
long term cancer patient,

"you should read this
information about cancer."

Imagine if I said to
the pregnant woman,

"oh yeah, I know exactly how
that feels, it's like when..."

Imagine if I said
to the soldier,

"don't shoot back, and
try and talk to him."

Imagine if I said
to the American,

"what does 9-11 have
to do with you?"

Imagine if I said to the
journalist's family,

"he took the job
knowing the risk."

I mean, imagine if I said
to patient in the er:

"You're better than this."

Imagine if I said to the child,

"I expect better from you."

Imagine if I said to
the homeless person,

"well, if I were you..."

Imagine if I said to
the battered woman,

"by talking about abuse,
you are the abuser."

Imagine if I said,

"yeah but that happens
to everyone."

Imagine if I did this
all day every day.

Did you kill anybody?

Not literally.

I looked at you today,
know what I saw?

Beats me.

I saw someone I thought
I could relate to.

Not someone keeping a tally
on arrested black kids,

and then turning around harassing
other people like a video game.

- White people.
- What?

White people.

You can't even say it.

It was white people.

Although there was a
Korean in there somewhere.

I'm pretty sure. I
can't really tell.

Oh, my god. You think
this is funny.

You don't deserve to
wear that uniform.

You sick bastard.

I appreciate that, thank you.

I don't like what you're on...

You keep talking
about what I'm on.

See, what I'm on is the job.

The payroll. Alert. Duty. Edge.

The streets. My streets.

I play it smart out here.

I know my shit. I
patrol my shit.

I keep order on my shit.

I crack down on the shit.

Why do I do that? Huh?

Why do I crack down
on those black kids?

Because if I don't do
it, someone else will.

Somebody else will
get that thug.

Someone else will put
that nigger behind bars.

Oh, so you better know
anytime I hear someone say,

"suspect dark, black,

afro-whatever, even
slightly tanned..."

I put my foot on the gas, and drive
like my wife is having a baby

and I get there before anyone.

And if someone else is there...

I make damn well sure
I do the talking,

the breathing, the moving,

the guessing, the
questioning, everything.

Because if I do not do
it, someone else will.

So I take the blame.
I take the names.

I take the hate. Because
that is my job.

Get out of here.

You're letting me go?

I'm giving you a head start.

Hey, wait.

The one reason.

You said there was one
reason you cared about.

My dad.

He was cop.

Ain't that some shit?

Hey, good news. We
found your bike.

Okay, but what the
hell happened?

My best guess

is a car backed over
it a few times.

A car backed over it.

Yeah, but the lock
still looks great.

Who... who the hell would that?

People are assholes, I guess.

Tire pressure's still great..

You're listening to
the liberation room.

We are all dedication,
all night.

Who are you sending
this one out to?

- Echo 97.
- And what do you want to say?

You're right. Third
day is a charm.

All right, echo 97, keep
it real, keep it right.

This one's for you...

Hi, um, my name is Andre

and I am really unapologetically
black sometimes.

The side effects of being
unapologetically black

include people removing
you from Facebook

because you post too
much black stuff.

People think you're
oversensitive

because you don't sideline
your own oppression.

But one thing I've learned
about white fragility

means that you live
in a glass house.

Throwing stones at those
who are already shattered.

Like this one time

I was out to brunch
with a few friends

and, of course, I was the
only black person there

so they felt they needed to
ask their local black man

what is and what isn't racist.

Until Sam kept saying
she didn't see race.

You see, I wanted to
shut that shit down

but Sam was the one
that drove me out there

and I kind of needed that drive.

Or like that one
time Chris told me

I was playing the race
card when I told him

I got stopped and frisked.

Or when Quinn said that if I
just respected the police

then none of this
would be happening.

But you know, maybe I'll
use this poem to tell you

about the time I've been
stopped and frisked.

Or maybe this is the
poem where I tell you

that tokenism is not diversity.

Or maybe this the poem where
I tell you how scared I am.

Or the one where I make a metaphor
comparing them to tamir rice.

And I'm Mike brown. And
my mom's Sandra bland.

And my dad's Oscar Grant.

And we're just trying
to play house.

But, I mean, here I
am blacksplaining.

Or half blacksplaining,
as Chris would say.

Because considering he's
dating a black woman

means he can judge someone's
blackness, right?

And, I mean, unlike him, I
just can't turn off the radio

when I'm done feeling
black for the day.

I just can't switch from
hip hop to rock n' roll

because I would be breaking
my own stereotype.

But people don't like
hearing these poems.

People want to hear poems
that aren't a clich・

but I'm a clich・right here because
I've written this poem before.

This is a poem I'm
still writing.

This is a poem that should never
be finished in my lifetime.

And here I am,
expressing my pain

in one of the only
platforms I have

to see if I can be validated.

But I have to keep performing this
poem for the people in the back.

I'll perform this poem until
black bodies are looked at

as humans before
they are weapons.

Until I can stop looking in the
mirror and thinking it was me.

Until I can stop being asked
to police my own blackness.

Without me being the
dead kid in the room.

I'll perform this
poem again and again.

And again, until I find the
words I am looking for.

But until then,

you'll hear this poem again.

This is the roost,

where the topics are hot,
but the issues are chilly.

Now that the jury is out,
it's time to call in.

We want to hear your
thoughts on the verdict.

Get at your girl.
Who's talking to me?

ｶ these peers of mine, however,
are preying upon minorities ｶ

ｶ in response, I
cry with desire ｶ

ｶ I want to fight
fire with fire ｶ

ｶ and never open the
door to peace ｶ

ｶ cause I'm a nigga
a horrid beast ｶ

ｶ you see the badge and realize
that there's more to see ｶ

ｶ brush aside notoriety for
the sake of the healing ｶ

ｶ of my society that
is at the core of me ｶ

ｶ but then these
crackers and devils ｶ

ｶ they want to perpetrate ｶ

ｶ and siu doing nothing
got me a certain way ｶ

ｶ turned away feelings of
empathy for my fellow human ｶ

ｶ I'm the teacher, they're
gonna learn today ｶ

ｶ every convention now
I must defy, yeah ｶ

ｶ every bit of this
is justified ｶ

ｶ now every motherfucker
must comply ｶ
