Cops are ugly to whites folks too.
I was almost choked out in Miami by two cops ..both black btw in Miami 18 years ago. They were huge and it was all racial...they almost killed by ship captain...a Colombian. A little black female corporal saved us ...bless her heart. Corporal Payne...I will never forget her.
The Barrett brothers (the cops) who were later sent to prison for home invasion and drug and murder conspiracies.
I’ve also been hard whupped by Mississippi white cops who hated long hairs in the early 70s as a lad.
A-hole cops come in all colors just like this one....
Cops are scared with justification of young black men but this case was very obvious what the truth was...this cop was just being a prick.
I knew good rural revolver carrying cowboy hat wearing old boy cops in my youth that were salt of the earth and had yer back. Some were just constables but they had balls and heart. Those days are gone I figure.
I also knew some good local cops too...back before all that SWAT stuff...he coached my Dixie Youth ballteam and now his boy is a freeper.
It’s a tough job that sometimes attracts mean angry resentful folks...or even criminals.
I’ve had some good cop stories too, which far outweigh the bad ones. The day after the Gulf War started, I raced home form college to be with my mom because my brother was over there. She was scared to death. Of course, when I say raced, it was true. Got pulled over. The cop asked me why I was going so fast, I told him and he let me go- with a warning.
I got a nightstick in the ribs by a burly SFPD cop once for no reason I could surmise. It hurt so bad — I thought that he’d caved my rib cage in.
I’m as white as snow.
“I also knew some good local cops too...back before all that SWAT stuff...he coached my Dixie Youth ballteam and now his boy is a freeper.”
I resemble that remark.
“It’s a tough job that sometimes attracts mean angry resentful folks...or even criminals.”
And in some cases creates mean, angry, resentful folks...and criminals.
Here's my problem with all the supposed 'good' cops.
They know what the bad cops do, but turn their heads and pretend it didn't happen.
Just like the cop who videotaped his partner kicking his police dog that was tied up to a railing.
Had this same cop seen you or I kicking our dog, we would've gotten a ticket for animal cruelty. Had we kicked a police dog like he was doing, we would've been charged with assaulting a police officer.
Because of this, I don't fool myself into thinking that most cops are good and there are only a few bad ones who give the good ones a bad rep.
