No, you didn't. I posted this on here before so it's not like this is any secret.
My father the meth-head raped me when I was 16. He went to prison for it, too. My mother was also a meth-head and after my father went to prison we had social workers out to the house all the time and then the Sheriff's would show up in the dark hours and kick in the door and I'd get handcuffed and made to sit in the back of a car or I'd get taken away to foster care. No knocks, no warrants, and if I complained I got SCREAMED AT by the deputies.
And I was the person they were supposedly worried about. But it was never about me it was just about them getting off on power. I mean what good is power if you don't use it all the time?
Now I live in Wyoming and we have GREAT law enforcement! Here if a cop stops you and asks if you have a rifle he asks you what you think of it and how's it do with prairie dogs. Totally different world. The cops here CARE about us and they make it clear. California not so much.
I've seen this from both sides and if our cops are great people I don't see why anyone else shouldn't have the same. No one should have to be in fear for their lives when they see a cop. But these days I completely understand it when some people are.
It also amazes me the irony of some FReepers who posts nonsense like how if you don't run from the police they won't kill you...which acknowledges the fact that some police are so dangerous they'll shoot you in the back when you are JUSTIFIABLY running for your life!
The thing no one gets here is that the behavior of the bad cops puts the good cops at risk because some people are going to feel threatened by EVERY cop just because some cops have been bad to them. It took me a while to get over feeling scared when I see a Park County SD although I admit I'm not 100% comfortable with them yet. That's my problem, not theirs.
Okay?
‘house’ means apartment to me. Anywhere I live is my ‘house’. FYI.
Your testimony is very powerful MeganC. I hope that God has blessed you after persevering with so much.
Don’t pay any attention to cva - he’s not fit for decent company. ;’)
