Imminent Roadkill

Most police officers are genuinely good, decent people. I know that. Deep down, we all know that. Unfortunately, though, the bad apples among them have tainted their reputation beyond repair. It's no secret these "bad apples, " mostly Caucasian and racist ---might as well call a spade a spade!--- have it out for people that look just like me. Black men are dying more frequently than ever at the hands of police. It's a fact. It's the unvarnished truth! As a black man in America, I've always been skittish about cops, but now I'm much more scared than I've ever been before. Who could blame any black man for distrusting the police? Here we go again! Here we are again, they've taken yet another Black life. There's more to come, folks! Why just men? No person of color is ever pulled over nowadays without thinking morbid thoughts like... "Could this be the end?" "What do I do with my hands?" "Is he looking for an excuse to kill me?" Yeah, I'm even more skittish about cops now, so is the next Black guy on the street who feels like he, too, is an imminent roadkill Yes, world, that's how it truly feels to be a black male in America!
