I think about my time in Georgetown a nice neighborhood of Washington and I am running to a picture movie at about 8 oclock at night. I am running with my cousin. Police car comes driving up, flashes his lights, yells where you going? Hold it! I say Woah, Im going to a movie. Now my cousin started mouthing off. Im like, This is not where we want to go. Keep quiet. Im angry and upset. We negotiate the whole thing and we walk to our movie. At the time that he stopped me, I was a federal prosecutor. I wasnt a kid. I was a federal prosecutor. I worked at the United States Department of Justice. So Ive confronted this myself.
