Why was I lucky the cops took me into custody? They were also hispanic, and they did NOTHING while I was spat at and had my life threatened IN THEIR PRESENCE by a couple that was there. Oh, but one of them did give me an earful about what his ancestor (”...he fought in the Texas Revolution, too...on the OTHER side.”), would have done to me, had he caught me burning a Mexican flag. Not to mention all the unadulterated BS in the “official” police report.
While I’m on the subject, let me take a moment to tell the readers here. The report said I was “apologetic” and “very cooperative”. Apologetic? Nooooo, I was just letting the cop have enough rope to hang himself with. Hint: I’m a licensed police instructor and I have a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice, specializing in police ethics. Of course, he made it too easy, rookie mistakes that he made!
First of all, welcome to FR. We could use a few more like yourself (doers instead of talkers)
I live in the Austin area and have visited SA many a time. I’m guessing you’re a brave soul but, the gangs in SA would have no qualms about throughly kicking your ass. (for lesser reasons)
I wasn’t implying any disrespect. I just know the area.
What was the final straw that led you to do this?
