I come to my conclusions based on my life experiences. Ive had encounters with very nice and helpful police officers who got me out of a few jams, i.e. helping me keep my car from getting washed away by the tides at the beach. But most of my encounters with police officers have been extremely negative. Funny how a broken tail light leads to being pulled out of my car, being frisked, made to lie on the ground while they run my ID, then made to take a brethalyzer test, and then let me go when they didint have shit on me.
One time I was simply walking down the street and some cop cars pulls up in front of me on the sidewalk, and the guy out of the blue is like 'do you have any drugs or weapons on your person?'
Another time a cop car chased me and a friend down a dark alley just to make us run. Then they just yelled some shit at us and drove away.
Then of course there are lying sack of shit highway cops. They make up outright lies about speeding charges. I was going 75 in an 80, he says I was going 95. Just a few miles enough over the speed limit to for me to not qualify for a driving defense class. Huge fine, jacked up insurance rates, all for a lie.
Ive never been beaten by cops, but I know plenty of people who have. I guess it helps to dress nice, drive a nice car, and come from a upper middle class family. They know youll have a good lawyer. But for some of my less fortunate comrades, they havnt been so lucky and they have caught beatings.
