people really say? In two thousand sixteen some people think cops are bad. Not all cops are bad‚ they are being judged by the few cops that are actually bad. Everyday cops put on a badge to protect and serve‚ not to have a target on his or her back. I have grown up around law enforcement‚ two of my uncles are police officers. Both of them love the job they have and would happily give up their life to make sure you and I stay safe. Cops do not care if you are Black‚ White‚ Latino‚ Arabic‚ Chinese

It’s a cold day in the middle of November. Rain and hail blistering down‚ some even the size of quarters.

Horns honking‚ people yelling obscenities - I look to my right and see a raccoon scurry past me searching for shelter. Yeah‚ traffic is that slow - I haven’t moved an inch in 15 minutes.
