What does that have to do with anything? lol
But if you must know...I've had speeding tickets in my life. That's about it.
Having lived during the 1980's on the strip in Ft. Lauderdale, the late 1980's in Myrtle Beach, early 1990's in Orlando and Atlanta, traveled all over the country in my bands (driving from Miami to Detroit to Jackson to New Orleans and everywhere in between) PLUS being able to watch the news, see the vids that are showing up everywhere of crooked cops...it doesn't take a police record (of which I have none) to understand what's happening in this country: Militarization of police forces, their ability to "stop and frisk" people on the streets, their ability to search your car (which they didn't used to be able to do without a warrant or your permission), go through your wife's purse...the list goes on and on brother.
I live in a neighborhood that most folks can't afford. So no, there's no police brutality going on outside my window.
But I'm not blind to it either. Maybe you are? Maybe you don't give a shit? Maybe you're just trolling me?
Don't know. Don't care.
I'm just trying to have a discussion about something that I find interesting and that I think something needs to be done about.
Maybe you don't. That's your prerogative.
But so far what you have added to the discussion is:
1. I'm not really as tall as I really am.
2. I must be hiding a "police record" that I don't have
3. The cops you know are "nice".
Okay. The first two things you think are bullshit. The 3rd one is okay. As I have said (over and over) I have family who are law enforcement (including my mom). Also some of my best friends are cops and worked wrestling shows with me all over the Southeast.
Doesn't mean that cops overall aren't out of control.
