    Bill's story and how he was treated by the police is 100% what is wrong with a great deal of our cities today. Our state governments and their denial of the situation had a large hand in this because stuff runs downhill.

    Bill should be getting Presidential medals. Instead, he gets bitched out when he has a good idea, then gets a plaque a long time later, after the fact, when people realize he was right all along. Bill, there are a lot of us out there, so you're not alone.

    One of the most amazing stories to ever come out of Tacoma, as a Black youth in the 80s/90s I didn't want to grow up & be a police officer after seeing how Rodney King was beaten, didn't want to join the military due to extreme distrust of the gov't. The Crips were the most powerful Black form of militancy I saw around me, so even tho it was a criminal lifestyle, I looked up to several of them. Ppl paint the young Blk men who terrorized the town for decades as "Evil", but often give no thought to gangs being the evil that America created. The U.S. Gov't pumped drugs into the Blk Community and that's a Fact. The Crack Epidemic terrorized the Black Community, homes and families just as much, if not more than the gangsters did.

    When i first heard the story i was like ummm the crips are in deep shit. I was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces reserves and we are babies compared to the United states Army Rangers. You have to love how the army protects its own. I was a grunt NCO and we are nothing compared to the holier than thow officers. In the Canadian Armed Forces we take our drill seriously and the officers do cow kicks and im like are you fucking kidding me? Mr Foulk i respect you more than i can say. I would want you to be my platoon commander

      Kind of. It's about a Korean war vet who kind of had the same thing happen but the Korean gang stole his car and was harassing other Korean kids. It's called El Torino and it's directed by Clint Eastwood. So it's almost the same but different story and timeline.
