Poor people living in overpoliced areas, have a very instinctive understanding of power and the exercise of such. Things don't work on pretend there like they do at the office; you figure out who has the POWER to hurt you for reals, and who just wants you to believe they do, very early on.
Cops? Got the power to hurt you. The guy shouting from his front porch about how soft you are? Ain't. Lot of y'all got it confused, and think yelling from the porch is how you fight.
No sir, not at all.
