Young Black Boy Is Terrified When Pulled Over By Police, But The Officer’s Response Is Amazing!

In the wake of the #BlackLivesMatter and #BlueLivesMatter movements, tensions are at an all time high between some black communities and police officers. But recently Lt. Tim McMillan, a police officer in Georgia, taught one young black boy a lesson about why most cops serve in the first place.

McMillian pulled over the young black teen when he saw the boy texting and driving. When the officer walked up to the boy’s window, the boy was visibly shaking. McMillian posted the entire story on his Facebook account:

I pulled a car over last night for texting and driving. When I went to talk to the driver, I found a young black male, who was looking at me like he was absolutely terrified with his hands up. He said, “What do you want me to do officer?” His voice was quivering. He was genuinely scared.
I just looked at him for a moment, because what I was seeing made me sad. I said, “I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
In which he replied, with his voice still shaking, “Do you want me to get out of the car.”
I said, “No, I don’t want you to text and drive. I don’t want you to get in a wreck. I want your mom to always have her baby boy. I want you to grow up and be somebody. I don’t even want to write you a ticket. Just please pay attention, and put the phone down. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”

Wow! What an incredible picture of the heart of 99.9% of police officers out there. They get out of bed everyday and risk their lives, just so young boys like this are safe. As the media and those in the radical #BlackLivesMatter movement try to discredit police officers, men like Officer McMillian continue to do their thankless jobs day in and day out.

I love how he ended Officer McMillian ended his post:

I truly don’t even care who’s fault it is that young man was so scared to have a police officer at his window. Blame the media, blame bad cops, blame protestors, or Colin Kaepernick if you want. It doesn’t matter to me who’s to blame. I just wish somebody would fix it.

Amen!  It is time to stop teaching our young people that polices are the enemy. We need to hear more stories like this one to teach our kids that everything the media has been preaching to them is backwards. Police officers are heroes. They are to be respected and thanked for their hard work!
