But I wasn't "anti-cop" (and I'm still not on some levels), until I felt cops were anti-me. I grew up dealing with living in a rough neighborhood and not being allowed to walk in groups of five or more because it was considered gang activity. I am no stranger to being treated in the same ways the kid in the video was treated. I've also lived in smaller towns where I knew the cops on a personal level and it was a much different relationship. The difference? In one situation the cops were outsiders, not from our neighborhood and didn't know us or anybody else that lived in the neighborhood. In the other, the cops were my neighbors and in some cases my friends parents. Guess which environment I got treated better in.
