ARE A LOT OF COPS OUT OF CONTROL?
ARE A LOT OF COPS OUT OF CONTROL? ARE A LOT OF COPS OUT OF CONTROL? In a couple of days I need to drive the 25 mile round trip into town to pay a bill in cash. I drive old cars. Both my truck, and my small car are 1978 models I bought new, in '78. They're both in good shape, have never been in any accident, and don't have many miles on either one. I get them repaired when they need it, and I don't see any reason to throw a lot of money into some new car I can't do simple things on by myself. I'm also an old asshole white guy with a little scruff of a white beard... A year ago I passed once again the California driver's test and got my driver's license renewed for another five years.. I've been driving cars since I was 13, and got my first driver's license in Atlanta, Georgia. I carry more than the California law requires of liability insurance, so everything I do while driving is up to code. When I go out on the highway in one of my old cars, everything is legal and on the up and up..... so..why does Marisol always say, "If you get stopped, just do what the cop wants and keep your mouth closed, don't go giving any of those guys a reason to mess you up...OK?" Well, I AM argumentative and contrary once in awhile. And... I AM so burned dark from going nude in the sun for so many years on the desert I look more Indian, or Hispanic than German/English. But...I never thought I'd live to see the day in this country that I would feel a tightening in my belly everytime a sheriff's patrol car or a California Highway Patrol car happened to get in back of my car. I mentioned this to Marisol, and she said, "Just be thankful you're not a black guy, or someone who doesn't speak as well as you do." Marisol, is Apache Indian. So tomorrow or the next day when I take that 25 mile round trip into town to pay a bill in cash, I WILL be extra concerned about getting stopped by a rogue sheriff's deputy or Highway Patrol Officer.. I wonder if this is what we've now come down to in our country....Do any of you guys feel a similar concern about getting stopped by a cop, and what can escalate out of control by just some simple movement, or attitude from a cop who's out of control? by david stardust, Friday, May 29, 2015... |

I see a self reinforcing cycle. Hostility breeds hostility, fear breeds fear. It has become an "us vs them" mindset. It can only be stopped by changes on both sides.

I think your comment here, Sweet Chocolate, is the most astute of them all. Marisol is Apache, and she is quite dark skinned... Because she's aware of the difference in the way things are perceived when a person of color is involved with any law enforcement, she is very careful of her actions around them. Her father was a Captain in the Marine Corps., and she worked on the local base until she retired two years ago... She also always trades in her white Ford truck after 3 or 4 years, and tells me my old vehicles are a cop magnet, even though they are well cared for. Thank you for such an inciteful comment..david

Very few cops are out of control! Right now cops are scared about doing there job. They have had death threats against them and just as many cops are being shot by people they pull over or stop as cops killing people. The news media is blowing everything up. I could go on but I do not like being political here

I also don't believe that the cops are out of control .....contrary to what the news reports glorifying these random situations ...and what most people fail to see is that there is a certain percentage of the population that has decided they don't have to respect the authorities ( Police ) such as not pulling over for a traffic stop , fleeing on foot and on and on ...The plain simple truth is IF YOU AREN'T DOING ANYTHING WRONG WHY DO YOU TRY TO RUN ......... My suggestion to everyone try being a cop for one day and actually see how these people cause things to escalate .....and things have only gotten worse since (thanks to the govt and local laws ) people can carry guns now ! Remember this There is 360 million people in America and there safety is dependent on a single digit Police force .I would say they are doing one hell of a job
