“Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value."In October 2016, that quote from Albert Einstein sat atop the Facebook page of Tim McMillan, a police officer in Georgia. McMillan become a sensation after his Facebook post went viral in 2016. In it, he explains how he pulled over a Black teen for texting while driving:“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," McMillan wrote.But McMillan said he wasn't interested in harassing or arresting the young man, let alone inflicting violence upon him. Nonetheless, the teen's emotional response hit McMillan like a punch to the gut.“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,'" he wrote.McMillan said the interaction made him reflect on a deeply personal level about the national attention being paid to acts of police violence against Black Americans, particularly young Black men.“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."This story originally appeared on GOOD.This article originally appeared six years ago.

Biden is not looking out for military families. Rather, he is funding an army of 100 trainers who will convince military parents to affirm their kids’ “trans” identities. The training program operates by scaring parents with threats that their kids will attempt suicide or have mental health crises — unless parents “affirm” their child’s “trans” identity to the greatest extent possible.
