Quote

Seeing my son getting roughed up by the police is not fun. It brings back memories of when I got roughed up by them. He grew up totally different than how I grew up, and to me, he shouldn't have to go through that.

Sometimes when you're relegated to your neighborhood, you forget that there's more important things than your neighborhood going on out in the world.
