Let’s have “the talk” I grew up in New York City, Bensonhurst, then Dongan Hills on Staten Island. My teenage years lined up with Rudy Giuliani coming into office and the NYPD leaning into Broken Windows policing. I wasn’t a fan of the police. Neither were any of the male influences in my life, my friends, my family and even my father included. At 11 years old, I got arrested. That started a stretch of me hanging out in the streets, having more and more run ins with the NYPD. When my father picked me up from the station, he didn’t give me a speech he gave me a beating, and then he told me something more important: “Don’t ever be a wise guy with the cops.” As I got older, and bigger he kept repeating it, not because he loved the police, but because he understood the reality of those encounters. One summer night, I was 15, sitting on my stoop waiting for an older girl I was dating to pick me up. Two cops and a sergeant in plainclothes pulled up in an unmarked car and started asking me questions. I immediately started acting irate and began mouthing off. They threw me against the car, searched me, and eventually let me go. After the sergeant actually tried to give me advice how to handle a police encounter and how to keep it calm. I ignored him and kept running my mouth. What I didn’t know was my father saw and heard the whole thing. He came flying out of the house: “Are you fing stupid? You’re gonna get yourself locked up or killed for no reason” He told me It doesn’t matter if you broke the law or not, stay calm, If they tell you to put your hands behind your back, do it. “keep your mouth shut and we’ll deal with it later in court. Then he said something I’ll never forget “You’re a man now. Start acting like one.” That night didn’t change me instantly but it stayed with me. From that point on, I never mouthed off to the police again. I never refused an order in the streets, from the NYPD again. The encounters, kept happening growing up in NYC, it was a part of life, but those encounters never turned into major problems because I was able through my demeanor to deescalate the situation. A few years later, leaving a bar on Staten Island, unmarked cars boxed me and my friends in. Plainclothes officers jumped out guns drawn shouting commands. We followed their directions, they questioned us and frantically left us, it appeared to me that they were looking for armed suspects. What If I was still that same kid on the stoop? That situation would’ve gone very differently for all of us. Are cops perfect? No Do they make mistakes? Yes Are some of them Dicks? Yes It’s a tough, dangerous job, every encounter has the potential to go sideways fast, why make it worse? My father didn’t give me “the talk” most people would expect but he gave me the one that keeps you alive: I was arrested 2x’s in my youth, I was stopped by the NYPD countless times, the incident that occurred in the liquor store in Brooklyn would have been a non issue if it was me who was mistakenly stopped because I would have followed my fathers advice. Take my father’s advice, it works, I know, it kept me alive and out of jail. Rest In Peace John D. Macari Sr

A tense moment at a CVS pharmacy is going viral after a trans person confronted a woman for waiting in line too early at the drive thru . The situation escalated when the trans person was addressed as “sir,” which quickly sparked a heated exchange at the drive thru. The clip has been circulating online as people debate whether the situation was a misunderstanding or escalated too quickly. Chat… do you think this was just a misunderstanding or did things get out of hand too fast?

@SubxNews He’s in cuffs where the fuck is the struggle? Do you devils want him up or down or just want to beat his ass? From the looks of it it’s the latter

@Paulie927 @JohnDMacari @TheFinestCast I pointed out the fact that you white devils have to much faith in the police. Wtf does “muh racism” even mean you dumb cunt? Body cam doesn’t prove or disprove racism bozo it proves how incompetent most cops are.

@iBeAround1 @JohnDMacari @TheFinestCast You do realize we have access to body cams now, correct? This laughable talking point has been completely blown to smithereens. You’re going to need something else besides “muh racism” now. That era is over. Bodycam footage ruined that for the race pimps. Get a new angle
