    Earlier this month, a man named Patrick Lyoya was shot and killed by a police officer after he was pulled over for allegedly driving with an “unregistered license plate.” Most people would question, “what is wrong with our country when an unregistered license plate gets you the death penalty?” But unfortunately, some ask, “why did he just not comply?” There are a million reasons why, and Amber is here to break it down for you.

    There’s one more reason why someone might not comply with police. In this case, he literally didn’t understand why he was in trouble? The cop escalated at every turn and continued laying hands on and pursuing a man he clearly couldn’t subdue and who tried to reason with him before trying to run away from him. Lyoya was never a threat to that cop’s life. He was a threat to his ego.

    A few month ago a group of loud college kids were climbing some construction equipment parked outside my apartment window late at night while I was trying to sleep. I thought about calling the police to report a noise complaint but even though I'm white and am unlikely to be targeted by the police I didn't want to risk one of the college kids getting shot over a noise complaint so I just waited for them to leave.

    Judge Judy has an excellent example that she uses from time to time called "The moldy blueberry". It only takes one moldy blueberry to spoil the whole carton so she's really careful when she buys them not to buy any with mold. Likewise it only takes one moldy person to infect a crowd of people & turn them bad. "If you hang around garbage you turn into garbage". Judge Judy ❤️🙏
