It is like a game of chess, one wrong move and their body can be lost. A result to a beat down, Coates states in his book “Between the World and Me”, “they’ll break your jaw, stomp your face and shot you down”(22). The black on black crimes happens because they want other black people to feel intimidated by them so they can have that sense of power among others. For example Coates says, “The crews walked the blocks of their neighborhood, load, and rude, because it was only through their loud rudeness that they might feel any sense of security and power” (22). The crews claim neighborhoods like its theirs but in reality its not, it belongs to the higher authorities. They do this because it is the only way to feel that sense of authority against other people, with strict consequences when felt threaten. A bully makes a bully, therefore, the police bullies people of color, which influence the bully aggression and cause harm to their people. Everyone has their breaking point, where they had enough and they pass this bullying to others so they know how they feel and how it feels for themselves. It is like a disease, it starts on one person and it continues to spread among
