I recall talking to this Trooper several months ago at the Pathmark in South Orange, I had a State Police Tshirt on when he approached me in line. His words were to me was what unit are you in and ID #? I said in a whisper that the shirt was my protection from the streets, keeps me alive in the streets of Newark. NOBODY MESSES WITH A TROOPER. He never said much of what he did, but the way he walked I knew he was either Military or A Trooper. I will dedicate his name amoungs others who have given or life were taken like Pat Tillman. If I live long enough on the streets, I will visit a tatoo artist just to remind me of the good people have within themselves and are gone but not forgotten. I am deeply saddened about the war, really sad. Yeah!!!

GOD bless america another L.O.D. gangmember is off the highways.I wish it would quell the racial profiling,but that's just a wish.And if a person would need protection by displaying any police ensigmia that person is most likely part of the criminal element and he doesn't want to get hurt while doing illegal activaties (purchasing drugs or prostituting)that is what most whites do when in NEWARK.
