I own two beautiful homes, and I'm always half-expecting the cops to pull in, seize me with firm compassion, and escort me out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have some cops in my family. I understand the predicament that they're in. Sometimes they go into it just to pay the bills or because they don't have other choices, or sometimes they just want to get the gun.
In my neighborhood... they view the police as someone who comes to take their loved ones away.
Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them.
What I know from my friends who are cops is they keep their houses very clean, because they say you never know if you're coming back or not.
I can't afford security. I can't afford a gated house. So, I feel a little vulnerable. I wish some laws would come into play.
My own perception of cops was that they came into your neighborhood, they roughed up people that you loved for no reason and took them away. As a child you saw that.
My house is basically a trailer. I live a circus lifestyle. I'm always moving. It's not always easy for people that live with me, but that's the path I chose.
I think for me, home needs to be a sanctuary. I need to feel like I've escaped the day when I get home.
I have a deep affinity for New Orleans - its like a second home to me - they treat me like I'm their own.
I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets.
