If you want to be a cop, it's not for everybody, no question about it, but there's no place like New York City.

Most middle-class whites have no idea what it feels like to be subjected to police who are routinely suspicious, rude, belligerent, and brutal.

Black lives certainly do matter - that's one thing. But, it's just that in every profession, there are bad, as well as there are good. I think it's wrong to make cops - or any group - out to be the enemy based on a generalization. Stigmas and generalizations about groups are what get this world into such turmoil.

I definitely support cop acting more than cops, but all of them ain't bad, just some of them.

The danger to a black child in America is not a white police officer. The danger is another black.

I respect the police officers, but something you learn as a young black man in this country is that... life is a little bit different for you even though, on the surface, it seems to be the same.

Any time I claimed to be white, that would be unacceptable. It just doesn't make sense in people's minds. If I'm white, how can I walk through a department store and still have people scared that I'm going to rob them? Which, that can still happen.

Communities of color don't understand what it means to be a police officer, the fear that police officers have in just being on the streets.
