I stayed in a beautiful Resort and drinking in all the warmth and sun when I noticed that there were cops literally everywhere armed with riot guns.
Since weapons are a good thing in my view, I was pleased at this. The more guns the better.
This one cop catches me on the end of the beach and (accidentally) points at me with his shotgun and says "peso"
I had a couple of beers and honestly couldn't care less so I just ignored him, but the thought of people in power asking for a tip just struck me as an abuse that shouldn't be tolerated.
It's not the asking so much.. I mean everyone there was panhandling practically it's the thought that that person might use their position to squash dissent or compel a contribution that's chilling. I mean, imagine being stopped for speeding and the cops asks you for a tip?
That's the perception and this screener should be fired immediately.
Should Be.. but since we "Federalized" (read unionized) them I bet there is no way to remove this person.
