I can laugh about it now, but going through it felt awful; I did not "swerve and almost hit their cruiser" I was not mouthing off or acting in a threatening manor, these troopers could have gave a crap less, it was almost like they were determined to find a reason to lock me up.
again...sad story....but I'm sure it's true that some officers do promote racial profiling...
My Dad never liked the fact that I hit the gym so hard, said I completely overdid it and I had a bullseye on me as a result, he used to famously say "Every 5 foot nothing wannabe wants to take down a guy like you so he can brag to his friends" and "Someday you're going to run into the wrong guy"...........funny; all these years later, someday hasn't come.
I'm too old to fight anymore...lol...skinny women can beat me up..
First, I don't condone racial profiling. Second, it is interesting on the historical success of those programs.
Yeah, me too, plus there are so many fruitloops out there who are into MMA and would choke me out and that would be that, long gone are the days where it was a classic throwdown, these guys are certifiable, no thanks.
Mike you just don't seem to understand what I'm saying. I give up trying to explain this to you. As the old saying goes "walk in my shoes" . One more time plain and simple. If you nare in an area where blacks are committing the vast majority of crimes you stop blacks. Sounds pretty basic to me. And one more point. You know what really stops crime? Not these funded community programs etc. but pro active policing. Pro active policing is stopping individuals who look suspicious or match a descriptions of wanted subjects. Some people and I bet you are one, may frown on this but this is what prevents crime. They did a great job doing in this in New York city a few years back but that ultra liberal mayor diblasio put a stop to it and crime went out the roof.
Mike let me ask you this one question and I want you to answer it truthfully and I will put this subject to bed.
The amazing thing is that although Congress has almost zero approval rating, the incumbents get re-elected over and over again. They have some advantages like getting the party nomination in the first place and access to donations but even so you might think there comes a point at which their constituents say enough is enough. That is the only hope for the Republicans in the upcoming midterms. That most voters stick with the status quo. Otherwise it's going to be an absolute massacre. Not because the Democrats are going to win by proposing anything productive but because the Republicans are going to lose. Maybe the best thing for Republicans in 2028 is to lose the mid-terms and the Dems can be blamed for what happens between now and then which will no doubt include impeachments etc.
Your whole post smacks of racial profiling and racist stereotyping to me…
yes...great post...essential services should be exempt...these should not be up for debate between opposing parties...
It boggles my mind. We want our airports super secure since 9-11, yet these idiot politicians hold the very funding that is meant to deter, protect, secure our nation's travel as well as our airspace. And then, they go on television with a straight face and spew all kind of BS spin AND our idiot media covers it lock, stock and barrel. This is just the epitome of plain stupidity.
A Christian woman was arrested for praying silently alone on a street. Hundreds of muslim's doing the same though not so quietly in Trafalgar Square, nothing, another example of two tier policing
A friend from college was a bouncer at a bar in So Cal during summer breaks away from school.
Awful; just awful, over nothing, I hope that guy is in a 6 by 9 for the rest of his miserable life.
