A couple years ago, I went through a nasty divorce and through my own stupidity, ended up spending some time behind bars and now have a felony record. I’ve seen first-hand the effect of bad cops. ngoku, anytime a patrol car gets behind me or a cop walks past me, I am thinking, “What are they gonna do this time? What are they gonna pull out to give them a reason to confront me. Because once they know you’re in the system…you’re a criminal for life.” And then I have to repent for being narrow minded and bigoted. They say one bad apple ruins the bunch, but God didn’t make us in the image of apples…He made us in His image. That’s got to count for something, kunene?
