Copwatch
Copwatch (also Cop Watch) is a network of activist organizations in the United States and Canada (and to a lesser extent Europe) that observe and document police activity while looking for signs of police misconduct and police brutality. They believe that monitoring police activity on the streets is a way to prevent police brutality.
The stated goal of at least one Copwatch group is to engage in monitoring and videotaping police activity in the interest of holding the police accountable in the events involving assaults or police misconduct.
Copwatch was first started in Berkeley, California in 1990.
Copwatch methods
The main function of most Copwatch groups is monitoring police activity. "Copwatchers" go out on foot or driving patrols in their communities and record interactions between the police and civilians. Copwatchers hope that monitoring police activity will provide a deterrent against police misconduct. Some groups also patrol at protests and demonstrations to ensure that police do not violate the rights of protesters. One Copwatch organization states that it has a policy of non-interference with the police, although this may not be true for all groups. In Phoenix, Arizona, copwatchers have increased efforts of "reverse surveillance" on the police in an effort to document racial profiling. They believe that Arizona Senate Bill 1070, a controversial law that allows police to question people they believe are illegal immigrants, will increase racial profiling by police.

Little Pills
by: Kabosh(Verse 1-Big Krizz Kalico(Tech N9ne))
Try to break through its like we'll never (its like
I'll never make it)
We'll make it better (give me pills let me take it)
I can't change the weather (yeah)
And I'm goin back, to where I've been
Hope somebody let's me in
I need shelter, from myself
If you can hear me please send help
(Chorus-Big Krizz Kalico)
It keeps on rainin in my mind
Another storm another day
These little pills will change my mind
Cuz they don't make it go away
It keeps on rainin in my head
Another storm another day
These little pills will change my mind
Cuz they don't make it go away
It keeps on rainin (its over, its over, its over, its
over
I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober
its over, its over, its over, its over
I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober)
(Verse 2-Big Krizz Kalico (Tech N9ne))
Can only see myself, is anybody here (I ain't even
myself no more)
If you could be myself, you'd understand me clear (I'll
pick myself up off the floor)
And if I die today, it would take my pain away
Cuz its flooded, flooded, and I'm drownin, drownin, but
its liberating me
(Chorus-Big Krizz Kalico)
Its rainin in my mind
Another storm another day
These little pills will change my mind
Cuz they don't make it go away
Its rainin in my head
Another storm another day
These little pills will change my mind
Cuz they don't make it go away
It's rainin (its over, its over, its over, its over
I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober
its over, its over, its over, its over
I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober)
(Verse 3- Tech N9ne)
Let's find a way to run away from life full of pain and
strife
What direction I'm goin I can't tell now
Mr. 720 N9na tells me I'm hellbound
The IRS is on my ass for the check that I didn't cash
And the levy from child support feel like I fell down
So I'm lookin for ecstacy pills, Tech is the next to be
thrilled
Seconds from method we ill daily
My brain's cookin the recipe will beckon the best in me
kill
Sections of steppin I feel crazy
Hit the club in the night, with a little bit of drug in
my life
But I'ma show lovin in real hy--phy I'm deliverin
Put my seed out my sight, separated from my wife
In the middle of a crisis, I'm high, shakin and
shiverin
Rollin balls, I'm elated I'm goin dumb now
Drinkin liquor, I'm faded and havin fun now
Loaded gun and I'm trippin with everyone around
Keep me stuck in the sky I never wanna come down
(Big Krizz)
its over, its over, its over, its over
its over, its over, I'm sober, I'm sober
its over, its over, its over, its over
