I don't know what happened to him. I know, even as a white male, I have been harassed by police.

I fear police officers. I don't want to be around them. I broke up with someone, once I found out they dated a cop.

I'm not going to speculate on that Tweet. I could see how a bad run-in with the wrong cop, could push a vunerable individual over the line. Yes, I know there's good cops out there. (I saved you a cliche?)
