This was the guy's second time being harassed. He received $60K the both times. When I get back to the states I'm getting a cam installed. The other thing is that cops try to get you to agree to searches. Questions like: Do you mind if I take a look in your car? Yes (go ahead?) or No (I don't mind?) Just say that you don't consent and if they still do it, it makes your case stronger if you decide to file. Also, isn't there some court case where cops can only initially frisk you to search for weapons? You know to keep themselves safe? They can't really pull out your little baggie of weed, in your pocket, and if they do, it can be thrown out as illegally gotten evidence. They'd have to have a reason, like visually seeing a pipe, no? Ok, I'm stepping out of bounds here. Mr. Carr, am I talking out of my rear? Yeah, I've been reading kooky websites.

I don't think what #8 wrote was related to race. #8 asked "How is it that police forces in many countries do not routinely threaten citizens with deadly force?" US cops versus citizens, not white cops versus nonwhite citizens. Even pawi in #9 was talking about cops versus citizens without talking about race (I guess he's really trying). #12: “Please, you can be white and police in the States are still a-holes.”
