In recent years, there have been more journalist stories showcasing police brutality and excessive force. In a previous article, I've extended some awareness on having been stalked by police officers for no legitimate reason called Police Stalking Me:
While being followed around by cops who continuously stalk me, harass me, and then some...I wrote this acrostic poem with some sarcasm. It doesn't help that some of them are my neighbors too whether they are on or off duty. For a long time, I've been having to confront them head on individually. This year, I started fighting back harder by defending myself against small pairs and groups at a time.
During my homeless experiences while having to live inside of my vehicle or on the streets each time my vehicle had been stolen, the amount of corruption I had witnessed still made me taken aback at times even though I'm used to seeing it for most of my life. It led me to cry while having little to no resources available for me to thrive in life. It was rough and still is.
There have been many jurisdiction claims, seat belts positioned into right arrows in the back seat of their police vehicles, and excuses that can tower over the tallest skyscrapers that keep attempting to reach the clouds in the sky.
For now, I'll just keep things generalized.

To my surprise, I've met more good police officers as a result from defending myself more frequently by fighting back, filing additional detailed police reports, and speaking up more. There have been many changes locally and I hope that they continue to stay positive having greater impact with increasing the amount of good cops in town. And I'm grateful for receiving some progress from them to help me keep moving forward.
