I am posting this in P&N because for certain the Off Topic crowd will complain that it should be in P&N......mods feel free to move if need be...
Let say that their are enough minority men or women who can be Policemen!
Let us also say that White men cannot be involved in Law Enforcement as Police Officers......other parts of Law Enforcement sure!!
Would things be different as far as the shoot first ask questions later mentality?
Or do you think all of a sudden we would see officer related shootings against white people??
I am trying not to make this into a racial issue. yet somebody will attempt to play the race card.....
Now in the last 2 weeks in several different cities.......Oakland, California and San Jose and Monterey...I was pulled over 3 different times.
In Oakland a Black Police officer pulled me over and asked me if I knew I was in a gang infested area? I told him I made a wrong turn and was lost. He offered to let me follow him out of the area! -- Very nice gentleman!
In San Jose in rush hour traffic I tried to get through an orange light that turned red. I was pulled over and this Asian Police Officer came up to the car and didn`t ask for my license or anything, He said to me -- I saw what you tried to do. Be more careful or next time I will give you a ticket. Again totally professional and very courteous.
Then in Monterey it was 1:00 am and I was heading back to the motel I was staying in and was pulled over. The cop asked for ID and all the other document..insurance.....etc. Then he asked me if I had anything to drink. I said no officer. Right away he accused me of slurring my speech. I called him a mother &^%$% and said to him -- tell me I slurred that......
He then pressed the issue and I told him that I was recording this conversation. He gave me back my DL and proof of insurance, etc.......and I head back to my Motel room. The officer was looking for a quick $$$$ stop. You really need to be careful oh...btw -- he was white......
