First of all, I hope everyone reads your whole comment so they can learn about the police murdering someone when they thought they could get away with it. That&#x27;s important to hear.<p>That being said, I have experienced something like the racial tension you say happened after that incident. It was scary but in the end I was safe partially because I made the time to get to know the people who lived around me. Not even hanging out get to know, just nod when you walk by.<p>If you&#x27;re a good member of the community, the community will work to protect you if it can. You absolutely do need to keep your wits about you and be street safe though. I admit that&#x27;s definitely not for everyone.
