Okay, I read your story. Is that enough to paint every cop as and wrong by default, and give the benefit of doubt to every criminal as I said in my posting?
Sorry. I do not see it as justification to treat every LEO (as some on this forum do) as a steroid injecting paramilitary trooper.
There are many people on this forum - far more than those who paint “every” LEO as the enemy - who are only too willing to ascribe criminal behavior to African Americans. And, of course, there is ample reason to do this, even though we all know that stereotyping to that degree is a dangerous game.
I don’t imagine for a second that there aren’t good cops. I assume it’s the majority of them, and perhaps the overwhelming majority. But I also know first hand what they’re capable of, and it takes no effort at all to imagine that people in the inner cities have to deal with some Dirty Harry wannabes on a daily basis.
