Driving While Black Vs Ptsd

Dear Mr officer I'm just trying to make it home I haven't been smoking in the car sir that's just my cologne I just left a meeting about something that's gonna change my life I have a fiance sir I'm looking forward to seeing my wife 

Yeah ok license & registration real slow please & do you have any weapons on you I can't see 

Well yes sir I have a handgun under the seat but I didn't have a chance to pull it out and I didn't want to reach plus you pulled me over as soon as I came out the parking lot I didn't think I did anything wrong I'm just trying not to get shot 

NO SUDDEN MOVES PUT YOUR HANDS OUT THE WINDOW & IM GOING TO SHOOT YOU IF ALL THAT MOVING CONTINUE

sir you asked for my info before you asked about the gun I was halfway out the glove box when you asked about one if I was gonna shoot you I had the drop .. 

WATCH YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU TALK TO A COP 10-32 OH MY GOD HE'S REACHING FOR SOMETHING

I can't believe they just shot me I was actually in the right its been a great day I thought it would carry over into a great night all I did wrong was try to explain myself keep your eyes open God please send help I changed I had a whole life to look forward too now I'm in a coma about to die in ICU they probably will get off & I'll get no justice just us sounds nice as a Battle cry but I'm just me in this bed about to die

So as the reality of things these days. It's like reality captured on paper. Prayers for protection for all.
