That is a daddy that loves you. Better to get your ass whipped by Dad and learn to behave than to get killed by a cop.
Saw a bit of CNN last night as they were talking about how people of color have to sit their kids down and explain how they need to act around LEO, and that whites just can't relate.
BS. It was drilled into my head that you don't screw around with cops. That cops are extremely dangerous because they have the gun, and the benefit of the doubt. "Yes sir. No sir. Thank you sir. I'm sorry sir."
The scene isn't any different out in the country than it is in the city. Cops will pull over young people and harass them. I once asked a cop when he pulled over a car load of us, what my infraction was. He said "non-illuminated license plate". I look down and my plate light is shining. I just pointed at it.
Cop reaches down and pops the bulb out and puts it in his pocket and smiles at me.
After a while we learned not to drive into town with a full car load.
In Ferguson last night, the circus continued. Cops shot one guy for pulling a gun on them, he's critical. A woman was shot in the head by a group of scumbags, pretty close to the burned out QuikMart.
