Lesson Learned…see if it happens again.

The hard part is actually doing something in the moment. I have recently shared 2 incidents where, in the moment, I chose to get out of the situation unscathed rather than taking a stand and taking a butt whippin (with legal and financial implications). I don't believe I could win fighting the police nor do I have any community who would step up to do what I do for my children. Having more $ could possibly give me more courage. I hope I get to find out one day. Gates is more of a public figure than I will ever be. No one really cares if the police beat me up. I agree with everything you so eloquently said.
