Had two white police officers pull me over back when i was in my early 20s for one of the bulbs in my head light being out.
asked me where i was going. Said no where in particular and i like to sometimes get out of the house relax and listen to music and take a drive to get away from the hustle and bustle of my house for 30-45 min or sooo...(had a few people living with me back than)
he told me this answer was super strange...and i said "so you never do this?" he quickly replied "Never!"
I then simply replied "alright." he then goes can i search your car? Being stupid back then i said "sure."
so they have me exit the car. The other officer starts telling me how sorry he is for this and his partner is a known dick--at the time i believed his partner was on my side but looking back it was just the classic good cop bad cop routine.
Anyways. the officer trashed my car. Pulled everything out of the glove box and pulled out everything in the middle counsel pulled down all the seats and just left everything all over the floor of the car. Then told me "get that headlight fixed!" and left...
If i was black i could see why i thought he did this just by the color of my skin. Once i saw the car i did want to tell him what a piece of shit he was but by that time he was already in the car and i just dealt with it. If i had the opportunity to say something--who knows how he would have reacted.
Giving under educated people power is tricky. But not many easy fixes.
I've had it happen when I was much younger
Me and girlfriend ordered out, took the food and pulled into a park to eat
There we are with the food on our laps, I guess it was getting dark, 2 cops pull up
Ask us what we're doing. Like duh you see us eating.
They want to search her purse and car.
So we get out and im furious telling the other cop their bosses gonna hear about it.
But anyhow, none of that and those experiences, has anything to do with today
Every criminal that runs, resists arrest, tries to take the cops weapon, runs their mouth, get praised as a hero, while the cop who tried to stop it is the bad guy
