I've been pulled over multiple times for doing nothing. I never jumped out of my car and attacked the police officer. It was because of times of day or location. No one talks about the fact that young white people get pulled over leaving the ghetto because they are likely to have drugs. Police stereotype in order to do their job.All the police have to do is SAY you're resisting and viola...you're a thug
No, the "thug" title was achieved the moment they committed the act that warranted the arrest. Everything else was just gravy.
Yeah they just say "warranted arrest" and if its not they can always go to plan B. Yell
"Stop resisting!!1"
This is a true story. I was crossing the border from North Carolina into
We sit in his car, behind my car, chatting as he grills me on where I'm coming from, where I'm going, what's in the car...do I have guns or methamphetamine (repetedly) and at one point he actually asks me, with a straight face --
"How come your parents aren't traveling with you"?
"uh... well I am forty-four years old. They have their own lives now."
He looked lost. Kept asking me if I had arms and ammunition, or meth, in the car, over and over I assured him none of the above and invited him repeatedly to step out to the car (a station wagon loaded with stuff) and I'd open the hatch for him and show him. He looked even loster. Apparently these were not the reactions he was looking for and he didn't know what to make of me. Eventually he threw up his hands and I went on my way.
South Carolina's finest. I was lucky to get the guy lost in space rather than the one with an agenda. That time at least.
