Darryl: Is something up?
Pop: What are you celebrating? Like '92 was the end of it? It's still goin' on! The same problems. A system that never got fixed. Let me explain somethin' to ya. When I was 17, same age as you, I'm walkin' home from school, band practice; I had my trumpet in my case. And an unmarked car rolls up on me and two grown white men with badges jump out, push me against the wall, throw my horn on the ground. It gets all bent up, and they take out a switchblade, and they laughing and chucklin'. And they took that blade and they put it right across my throat, and they said, 'Get your ass out of here, or we'll kill you, and nobody will care.' I was just walking home. So, you choose to put on a badge, you better know what that means cause there ain't no easy solution when black people bein' treated like they're disposable. And all a police officer needs is reasonable fear to kill you, me, or Hondo if he ain't wearin' that uniform.
