I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality, but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.

People look at me like I should have been like Malcolm X or Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks. I should have seen life like that and stay out of trouble, and don't do this and don't do that. But it's hard to live up to some people's expectations.

I saw my hometown burning that day.

What I've learned to do is arrest my addiction - arrest it myself, so I don't get arrested.

Why can't we all just get along?

I sometimes feel like I'm caught in a vise. Some people feel like I'm some kind of hero. Others hate me.

It's happening right now... it's just not on film, it's not being recorded.
