Bullshit. Total fucking bullshit. If a cop is having a bad day, youre having a bad day.
If you're a white guy. You're getting a ticket.
If you're black, best case, they're going to run your plates 50 times, insist on searching your trunk, call you
boy trying to incite you, and THATS if you're super well educated and not responding to their bullshit. There have been times i've wanted to throw a nice 'get fucked you human piece of shit' back at them (namely the time they asked my wife who was in the car with me 'if she was ok' and 'you can tell me if you want to be in this car or not') but that would get my fucking teeth kicked in AND charges for assault on a cop.
I've said it before, and ill say it again. I'm a god damn 28 year old software engineer. I wear brooks brothers shirts to my corporate job. I'm not even darkskinned black, I'm definately minimally scary on 'how dark is he scale'. And you know what? I've been pulled over (in my nice shiny volvo) more times in the past 4 years than *every fucking person i know* combined. I used to get it once a month when i lived near a super rich neighborhood. And while im sitting there getting the 9th degree, the soccer mom blasts by us doing 20 over the speed limit.
As a teen (a teen with a big doofy smile who attended NYC's most prestigious highschool for nerds and obviously looked like a big old nerd) i was followed around in stores, told to 'keep moving' in places where my white friends were ignored, all sorts of bullshit.
And I used to just say 'a few bad apples spoiling the bunch.' 'For every asshole cop there are 10 who care!' Fuck that shit. Shit is so fucking bad right now that a kid can get shot holding a god damn toy gun in wallmart and nothing happens. NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. The human scum who do this shit get to hide behind that blue line of silence, keep their jobs, get out there and do it again and again. Im not even talking about ferguson. That overshadowed 3 other shootings that happened last month. A kid was shopping for a god damn air rifle, someone called the cops, and they shot him fucking dead.

'waving a gun at customers'. I can tell you right now, if it was some punk ass looking white kid holding an air rifle it would have been different.
I'm past trying to look at shit logically. Fuck this 'we can all get along' bullshit. Karma needs to start hitting some cops with buses to even things out. OR karma needs to start having some pretty white kids get shot. Have some middle aged white men choked to death. THEN ill be happy. Equal opportunity human garbage and all that.
