Well, fellow former military lawyers and I categorize it as criminalizing teenage behavior. We really challenged the Police Chief when he came to speak at one of our meetings. I know police get this all the time, but there is some truth to it, why aren’t you spending your time on real crime as opposed to hassling kids?
Agree 100%.
the outlook of the police towards non police at some point in the last 30 years changed quite dramatically.
Because I am law abiding I had little reason for cop interaction and I continued to believe they were honorable men simply doing a tough, necessary job. But all in one swoop I found out that profoundly wrong and that for some time i had been operating in a pleasant fantasy.
I realize now that I have not changed happened substantially before that realization dawned on me the police categorize citizens as simply those previously arrested and those awaiting arrest. Many of them also appear to harbor fantasies of being a member of seal team 6.
I hate whats going on ferguson but in fact now I think it’s mainly to a struggle between two GANGS, one with tidy clothes featuring belts and another with foolish clothes devoid of belts.
