HOOD STORIES: Series I - La Bodega 

-- My daughter's partner, in a NJ 'hood goes to the store. Police are coming hears a racing police car as it rolls up on the sidewalk and halts at the store's entrance. So, her man walks away from the counter apprehensively, like most young men of color living in the 'hood, and he leaves the store. The store owner rushes out yelling, "Yo, man you forgot your cookies." Her partner could give to $hits about those cookies, "I'm gonna just keep walkin', I'll be alright...just keep walking". Why popo rolled up on the sidewalk in front of the store, where children could have been coming out and been hit, is one more example of the disrespect people in inner cities have to endure from those sworn to protect and serve.
