Candid Story and Thoughts on Racism and Cops

By now the entire nation has seen the video of Walter Scott

being wrongfully shot and killed by Officer Michael Slager. Officer Slager made a series of bad choices that killed Walter Scott.



Now the question is, if Scott simply followed directions and didn’t run away would he probably be alive right now?

A video of a young black man recounting his experience with a white police officer during a traffic stop is going viral on social media in the wake of more outrage over the shooting of an unarmed black man in South Carolina.


Army National Guardsman Will Stack, 22, said Wednesday that there were “no problems” being pulled over for “improper use of the median” when he turned left out of the Lexington County Courthouse in South Carolina.


 Will Stack made a video to let us know that if you are polite and do not make yourself look threatening to an officer doing his job, you may very well end up having a positive outcome.


“People need to understand that not all officers are crooked,” Stack said. “Not all officers are racist bad people, and not all people who get shot or tased or arrested by officers are innocent victims.”

“Just because you’re black doesn’t mean you’re a victim. Just because you’re white doesn’t mean you’re a racist. Just because you’re a cop doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. This world really needs to stop putting labels on people and things and see them as who they are. People. Doing Jobs. Doing things. Ignorance has no color. God doesn’t see color. Why should we?” 


He nails it.

Woman Shoplifts And You Won't Believe What The Officer Called On Scene Did

A woman in Tarrant City, Alabama had just been caught stealing eggs from a supermarket, but she didn't end up walking away with a ticket.

"I was dispatched to Dollar General who said they had a shoplifter," Officer Stacy, 23, told local media. "When I arrived on the scene I confronted her. She said her sorry and was honest about what she did."

Rather than making the woman pay for the alleged crime, Officer Stacy had her wait outside in the parking lot.

While she went outside, Officer Stacy purchased a dozen eggs for her to take home to the kids.

"I can't tell you how many times she said thank you," Officer Stacy said. "She even started crying and asked me for a hug. She tried to pay me for the eggs with the little bit of money that she did have, but I wouldn't take it. I told her the best way for her to repay me was for her to never shoplift again."

A fellow shopper caught it all on tape. Since the video has been online, it's gotten over 500,000 hits. The Tarrant Police Department has also been flooded with calls from strangers who want to help the woman and others who are less fortunate.



"I can't believe that such a small simple gesture got this big," he said. "If it was the same circumstance, I wouldn't turn away somebody who was trying to help their kids in a time of need."
