Police killed more than 100 unarmed black people in 2015
My concerns regarding the above mentioned new article.
In the early eighties I became a rookie cop providing police services to young Shawn Carter and the late Christopher Wallace's Brooklyn, NY neighborhoods. Two young Americans who became popular urban story-TRUTH-tellers creating American art vividly describing the community harming homicidal and suicidal behaviors they engaged in or witnessed other emotionally ill community members engaging in.

Honestly, before becoming a police officer I was totally ignorant to the fact that frequently, often on a daily basis, I would be risking my life as well as dealing with the emotional stresses caused by attempting to identify, locate and capture light or heavily armed depressed, angry, frustrated, tormented, sometimes suicidal *(NY Times May 18, 2015 - Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers)* adult and teen FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZENS as young as 13-years-old. According to Shawn's own admission, he was 12-years-old when he shot his substance abusing sibling for stealing from a family member.
I am talking about regularly witnessing and interacting with a significant population of depressed, emotionally ill teens and adults, who through no fault of their own, during a critical period of human/childhood development, regularly experienced a potentially life-scarring disease/condition known to medical doctors and researchers as "Childhood Trauma."
Emotionally ill American Mom Sharing Her illness With Her Children and Police
Sadly, my experiences in personally interacting with traumatized, emotionally ill Americans tells me much of their trauma resulted from irresponsibly being introduced to an emotionally and/or physically abusive childhood fraught with pain, struggles, torment, uncertainty, frustration, FEAR, demeaning government handouts, resentment, depression, sorrow, sadness, disappointment and hardships. :Childhood Trauma!:
Just as sad is the FACT I believe many Americans share my long-held ignorance, having no clue that significant numbers of American children, teens and adults regularly deal with stress, FEAR and concerns for their family as well as neighbor's and friend's safety, while at any time of day or night counting the number of nearby or distant gunshots echoing through their residential neighborhoods. #JamylaBolden #LaylahPeterson #BillThao
I am talking about the hair-raising, heart thumping sounds of gunfire erupting from the semi-automatic "Mack Milli's" Shawn proudly speaks/raps about he and his crew/gang/posse using to enforce and protect their 'people and community harming' 24/7 drug peddling operation. A drug peddling operation Shawn offered to his depressed, self-harming neighbors, regardless of their AGE, emotional, physical or MATERNAL condition. #AfeniShakur #GloriaDarden #FreddieGray
Unfortunately not all police officers possess the maturity, people skills or human temperament for regularly interacting with a significant number of emotionally ill, sometimes suicidal thinking people. Frankly, I believe police commanders need to do a better job identifying officers experiencing "burn-out."
Somehow I lasted nearly twelve years before determining for my own emotional well being as well as physical safety, I needed to transfer to a less demanding, less stressful work environment.
Unfortunately, not all American moms recognize that placing ABOVE ALL ELSE the emotional well-being of America's most precious and cherished assets will most likely result with fairly or wonderfully happy children maturing into reasonably responsible teen and adult citizens respecting themselves, their peaceful or less fortunate neighbors, as well as the authority responsible for maintaining peace in all American neighborhoods.
Even more unfortunate is the fact young kids like Shawn, Christopher, Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Gray, the late Tupac Shakur, as well as untold numbers of abused, neglected and/or maltreated children and teens do not have the option of packing up their belongings and moving to another community when they believe their minds are being affected in ways that are not healthy for them.

Frankly, if my American neighbors of African descent GENUINELY wish to improve the Quality of Life for Americans residing in struggling communities, I believe the following question needs to be HONESTLY answered and addressed:
When significant numbers of American citizens refuse, often in a hostile manner, to assist law enforcement in identifying emotionally or mentally ill Americans responsible for greatly diminishing their fellow citizen's Quality of Life, are these NON SNITCHING Americans citizens partly or greatly responsible for helping to maintain an atmosphere of lawlessness and FEAR in their community?

Driving home from work one bright sunny afternoon I was stopped at a traffic light in a residential Brooklyn neighborhood when gunfire erupted so close to me I thought I was the target.
As I try squeezing under my aging Chevy's dashboard, I notice three men all armed with handguns run by me entering a waiting town car that I decide to follow, risking my own life and safety by attempting to gather information about the gunmen.
They stop at a Brownstone home about ten blocks from the shooting. Not willing to confront three or more armed men, I begin searching for a WORKING pay phone to alert my co-workers before heading back to the scene where I learn three men sitting on the stoop in front of a residential Brownstone home were shot, one was "likely" to die.
After returning to the scene I also learned not one of the three victims nor any of their neighbors 'chillin' outside on this warm, sunny afternoon, saw anything.
I was the only witness willing to help police identify and remove from the community three apparently emotionally damaged, suicidal/homicidal extremely dangerous people presenting an ongoing danger to peaceful, reasonably well adjusted Brooklyn residents.
Sadly, I'm referring to emotionally ill, as well as peaceful Brooklyn residents embracing GENUINE & REAL concerns for their own safety if they were to assist (SNITCH) police in making their neighborhood safer for their families and friends.
Much like the overwhelming majority of good, decent police officers fearful of becoming scorned and hated if they were to SNITCH on a another cop they observe crossing the line, the overwhelming majority of good, decent people residing in communities influenced by The Street or Gangsta Culture know they risk becoming targets of community hatred and scorn if they assist police in disrupting the Street Culture prevalent in far too many American communities.
Sadly, my peaceful American neighbors also face greater fears as well as concerns for their personal and family's physical SAFETY if they ignore the 'Community Code of Silence' by helping police identify the dangerous, emotionally ill people in the community.
A short time after the shooting I observe the same tinted-out town car return to the scene. The driver and sole occupant is detained, further investigation reveals the driver is wanted for a drug related shooting occurring a few weeks earlier. Apparently the shooting I witnessed was retaliation for the earlier shooting.
Three days later, after making this Brooklyn community my second home for nearly twelve years, I decided it was time to pack up my belongings and abandon/flee/transfer from a community that *largely* wishes to ignore the MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES created for children irresponsibly introduced to an abusive childhood fraught with pain, struggles and hardships, by primary maternal caregivers FOCUSED on receiving "handouts" or child support payments, while seemingly unconcerned about their maternal responsibility to their children, as well as their societal obligations and duty to place the EMOTIONAL WELL BEING of America's most precious and cherished assets ABOVE ALL ELSE!!!
Peace.

*Are you familiar with America's current National Health Crisis?*
Doctors Ross and Dietz offer insights into how our Early Childhood Development plays a key role in determining the type of individual we mature into.
Robert K. Ross, MD, President and CEO of The California Endowment, addressed inmates at Ironwood State Prison offering a compelling overview of the role that exposure to *Childhood Trauma* plays in the lives of *Emotionally Troubled* and chronically ill American teens and ADULTS.
Speaking with Mafia hit-man and victim of Early Criminal Childhood Trauma/Abuse Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, Dr. Park Dietz explains why Richard most likely developed into a emotionally disturbed, paranoid, cruel, heartless teen and man who did not give a frig about anyone else, including his wife and kids.
