“Don't give up, don't let anybody tell you to give up. If somebody says something negative to you, it's their projecting themselves onto you. One thing I've learned is everything is a projection and nothing is personal. So in other words, if somebody is projecting that you're no good, he's got one finger pointing at you and three fingers pointing back at himself. So don't ever let anybody discourage you, no matter how bad things were, no matter how downtrodden you get, just keep trying. Don't stop.”In a society where law enforcement encounters can sometimes escalate unnecessarily.
