This book Things Get Hectic is very similar to a book that I've read in the past which I really enjoyed reading. The name of the book is called, “Freedom Writers”. As you may know these two books are about teens growing up in the ghetto, having to deal with drugs guns and gangs. I am still reading Things Get Hectic and I'm enjoying it a lot i hope these kids really end up doing good just like the kids in Freedom Writers did hopefully it's not too late.

I read "Mother Of Man Killed In Police-Involved Shooting On GCP ‘Wants Justice’" on Yahoo news and was interested by this news story. A cop shot someone when the police pulled him over. The mother of the shot male is trying to fight for justice. The police was most likely wrong because the the male was unarmed and didn't deserve to die. A police shot Noel Polanco when he got pulled over for driving crazy in queens on Grand Central Highway and now the mother is fighting for justice. A detective, Noel, his mom, NYPD, and a district attorney are all involved.It took place in Queens.

Police have too much power.

I read “Why is the N.Y.P.D After Me?” and it makes me feel like the police are just looking for someone that is a different race. It makes me feel that the police are having too much fun abusing there power. Honestly, I don’t think police have changed much since the racial wars. In half the stops police cite the vague “furtive movements” as the reason for the stop.

Why do cops abuse thier authority?

Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been police misconduct. I remember my friend’s mother talking about it when her brother got severely beaten by a cop for asking why they were arresting him, but during that moment I really didn’t care because no one in my neighborhood liked cops so I thought it didn’t matter. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that police misconduct is a very serious crime going around in the country. From what I have heard, government officials are not taking police misconduct seriously.

Yes, camera phones are great for taking pictures of your friends and turning them into fat people. They are also great for exercising your first amendment rights.

YouTube videos revealing things like police brutality and policemen disregarding laws are popping up all over the place. Most recently a video surfaced of a police officer spraying peaceful, protesting students from point blank range. YouTube phenom Jimmy Justice video tapes police officers violating laws like parking rules and then proceeds to heckle them.

Why do NYC police always harass young men like me? The cops always seem to find me when I'm not looking for them. I could be going to the store or just walking home or whatever the case is and there’s a good chance that I will be stopped. I'm pretty sure its because I'm Black, tall and I dress thuggish. I draw attention to myself. Maybe I look like a troublemaker or maybe because cops are corny and always ornery. Regardless, I still don't like them, so I look at them funny.

I think the book the curious incident of the dog in the night-time is really good. I think Christopher was really brave and smart. He wanted to find who's the murderer that killed the dog.
