Perhaps it'll take still yet another reading shoog. I stated what I'd witnessed. You don't like wat I witnessed and expressed so you need to make it about someting else, that's all.Read it again more carefully.Sooo basically you're saying you are a criminal Fenton?
There's two ways to take that one is bullshit paranoia and the other is an admittance of guilt. Neither is not exactly becoming. ~shrug~
So because you had a corrupt police department in D run Shitcago /ALL/ police are "out to get you" - come on. I'm leaning toward the paranoid. They "Come at you like a thug?" well son, do you look like a thug? Appearances matter, it's just the way things are, and really I'd say the way they should be.
Side chat - What I call "harmless profiling" - Like I get pulled over when I drive the kid truck because it's a flashy red thing with tinted windows, you can actually see the surprise on the officers face when the little ol lady rolls down the window. They'd be much less likely to pull me over in my Subaru. It's not even about "out to get" the specific kids that drive those vehicles for any reason, it's just about making sure everything is on the up n up. I don't consider that a bad thing and frankly it seems to be working pretty well up here. We tried the whole "ignore it unless they do something wrong" thing when we had a gang problem in the 90s, the gangs became a menace to our society so we hammered down on the little fucks. Our officers were picking folks up for having gang tats and colors and shit, and ya know it makes /sense/ to have that kind of profiling. Preventing a crime is a lot better than cleaning up the aftermath. Proactive vs Reactive; and if the folks aren't doing anything wrong, then off they go back about their business. Some folks want to turn stuff like that into "racial" profiling, but that's rather dishonest in my opinion since every single person in the country profiles; still whatever, we change the laws on profiling and move on.
If you want a band of out of control marauders dressed as police and acting like the Taliban so be it, you’re entitled to that belief.
mmk... link me up some street side beheadings or executions and I'll buy it. Otherwise, I'm writing it off as your paranoia, sorry.
