tessa, you re in the naacp, do you believe that cops beat up blacks as a regular practice? are these bad apples? how would you describe the system right now in i think there s a combination. there s a lot of bad apples and a lot of people just see a black male and stop him and do things to him and assume he s done something wrong. he was not doing anything eye contact and he ran because a lot of people are afraid of the police. he was young and ran. but old people sometimes can t run and they get beat up or get jerked around for about an hour. we sued the police department
