These days, people are more nervous than ever when they’re approached by cops. The majority of the police force are good people who look out for our safety, but highly publicized hate crimes and murders have struck fear in many, particularly in the black community.

Recently, a few young, black men were hanging out with their kids on the street when they were stopped by a police cruiser. At first they were afraid, but once Officer Robert Howard introduced himself, it was clear that he had their best interest at heart.
