I was in Tucson once when this huge black police officer walked in and without so much as a “hello” helped himself to a slushie and some snacks and walked out.
This guy was giant - at least 6’6 and 280. And attitude- There is NOTHING worse than an asshole with a badge.
That kind of cop should only be a prison guard. And prisons never should have been allowed to devolve into the nightmare hell-holes they are now. Sit down, shut up, and read a book.
There... any other problems I can solve?
Was this someplace you worked, or just spectating?
What a difference from the 50s when I was a teenager growing up in Tampa,FL. Back then, there were white cops AND black cops. Blacks got treated more harshly by black cops and white cops mostly stayed out of the urban areas. Except for Saturday nights on Central Ave., when it was all hands on deck.
Anyway, my two buddies and I were walking home one evening when we were accosted by three black teenagers. Next thing we all knew, a police car with two black cops pull up and one yelled: “What you n* doing?” He told us to leave while he proceeded to chew out the black boys.
Everybody respected the police, regardless of color.
