By the sentence shown above Will meant that the police are dangerous and not to be trusted.

We can arrive at this answer because:

With the above sentence, Will presents how dangerous police violence is.

He shows that it is this violence, through gunfire, that leaves people deaf, blind, and dead in his community.
For this reason, the community has established a rule that no one can trust the police, as they are unfair and violent.

This rule is established as a form of protection, to spare people from police violence.
