just curious, my friends,

How many times have you been stopped by the police--without doing anything to give them a reason to stop you, like speeding, or weaving all over the road, or throwing stuff out the window?

Not me personally, but both my sons, who at the time had long hair when long hair on a guy was suspect. Just on general principles. When things were slow, you know, fuck with the kid and leave the fat rich drunk running the roads.

I do not like LEOs of any stripe--don't trust them near enough to smell, or far enough to shoot. I was raised to go to the police for help--that's the *last* place I turn, now. Entitled insular protect each other's backs and the hell with civilians thugs.

I believe good people go into LE planning to help society, but with the inherent corruption, they either fall to the majority view, or they get out.

I've said too much. Sorry.

The reason I asked is because I've been stopped a few times for being Black-just wondering what other folks' experience of the police were.

I'm so sorry. The institution of LE has a terrible lot to answer for.
