Fuck the Police

[Flint]

I always take the time to speak to them warmly and personally, even after I know they are giving me a ticket--even if they didn't 'have to' do it. I always think, poor guy is just doing his job and probably gets horrible, psychologically poisoning treatment all day; and here he is, not knowing if he will survive to tuck his kids into bed tonight. Not trying to be preachy, but these are the things that I feel. Maybe I sense his defensiveness and want to let him know, 'hey, man, it's okay, you're still a person--you deserve to be loved' you know?

Only once have I had a response that was not reciprocal, and I think this kid was a rookie--maybe too much testosterone, not enough life experience, who knows.

'People are people so why should it be that you and I should get along so awfully?'

Happiness is how you react, you can't change what happens.
