Chillin' Michael D Beckford

Matthew Peterson is a twenty-one-year-old black male that goes about his life as he ordinarily does. An opportunity to play video games with his best friend into the wee hours of the morning.

As a young black male teen, they taught Peterson to always have respect for law enforcement, so he would not be a statistic of police violence in a Jim Crow America. Both of his parents are well to-do with a combined household income of $2.5 million dollars a year.

Living in a plush gated community in the suburbs of West Palm Beach, Florida; Matthew's parents have done their best to shelter him from the daily woes and worries of most black teens his age. Their belief system has always been to make Black America Great Again through education and entrepreneurship.



What was once a normal day for the well-to-do Matthew Peterson, ends up into a forty-minute horror of conflict with the police. Timing is swift and survival rates of black males and their interactions with the police is always in question.

Will this be an example of another urban black teen fallen to the hands of the police?
