Officers Make Stuff Up To Send Black Men To Jail Every Day

Many years ago. I was laid off from a job and went to work painting condos out in the desert for a friend of mine.

I got a very dark tan, had a Fu Manchu 'stache, wore my Cowboy hat and boots, and was wearing a red bandanna around my neck because my skin was chafed from the dust, sweat, dry wall, and stucco.

I came home one weekend and was fixing my wife's car, the valve timing and carburetor were off causing it to not pass the smog test.

Long story short, the tags had expired amonth earlier. I was test driving it and got pulled over. My oldest daughter was in the car with me. I pulled into a Stater Brothers parking lot and the cop came up, looked at me and asked my daughter if I was born here and whether or not I spoke English !!

I pulled out my license and told him yes I was and yes I did, and I was a Nam vet to boot. He was a complete as*hole and went on and on about a bunch of bull crap. I looked at him and said you are a racist pig. He had decided to impound the car, which I understood. But I asked him if he would just give my daughter a ride home, because it was raining. One of the streets we had to cross was flooded. He said no. So I carried my daughter across what was like a raging stream. She was scared, and I told her not to worry, I had crossed worse in Nam.

The whole thing was the POS thought I was an illegal alien, and it made him look bad in front of witnesses. So he pulled his power play to make himself look powerful. It back fired on him, he had no right to impound the car I had an extension from the DMV. So when I showed up for the ticket the judge let him have an ear full.

The judge basically told him on that same day there were four wrecks from the rain, and if he'd have been using good judgement he'd have sen that I was not a threat. Let be on my way and went out to patrol the dangerous areas of the city when it was raining like that.

My daughter was in court that day with me. She learned a valuable lesson. The police are not our dictators, they are to serve and protect.

It isn't surprising that the blue shirt will "make stuff up" to jail an African-American. It probably occurs in many places every day by "white" blue shirts that will always use their authority to intimidate and hurt minority groups. That is how it always has been and always will be in the future. I am only surprised that the blue shirt thug actually said that on camera and he will likely not be punished; the blue shirts don't punish other blue shirts. He should be sent to prison if this was a more just nation. I wish we could rid ourselves of these corrupt thugs from our nation.

Blue shirts and all other law enforcement officers should be held to account for their actions. Even more so because they are the ones enforcing the laws. This is a disturbing story.

"... much of the damage is already done".

Until we decide to undo it.

peach and love have its place, and always will, .... push back also has its place.

There are some great police officers out there. Most are honest, hardworking folks and they have a very hard job to do.

But let me say, that I live in the Seattle area now and drive through Seattle almost every day. The police here scare the hell out of me and that is saying a lot... I am from Houston where we used to have the highest murder rates in the country.

The police here do not seem to have had any training in how to talk to people, how to deal with the drunk and disorderly and the high numbers of psychiatric patients that live on the street here. They are under investigation by the justice department for their actions. And I don't see the problem getting any better.

The cops in this area are way more red neck than any of the cops we had in Houston.
