Re: What's up with the cops these days?
i hear ya mlm. most officers are good, some are bad. Dc used to have this program where officers would get a bonus for every illegal gun they brought in off the street. This one "cop", who was subsequently fired for a whole bunch of excessive force violations, would just pull any random person over in SE. He would search the car without consent, if he found a gun, he arrested you and collected his bonus.
if he didnt find a gun, he'd let you go. Unfortunately, people who get let go dont report it b/c they dont want to waste their time or hassle.
it was a few months before my 21st, my 21 year old friends went into rollins beer in rockville while i, the driver, stayed in the car. I saw a "cop" sitting in the 7-11 parking lot across teh street. My buddies put the beer in my trunk and we pulled out. the cop pulled out right behind me. I was doing exactly the speed limit, knew he was going to pull me over. got close to the 270 on ramp and he pulle dme over, said i was speeding. I looked him dead in teh eye and said i saw you behind me the whole time, i wasnt speeding.
sucked i blew something like a .04 and got an alcohol violation b/c i wasnt 21 yet.
couldnt believe this cop said that, straight lie and that was to a respectable looking white boy in rockville. cant imagine what goes on to black guys in SE or baltimore. I wonder if the cop did it b/c 2 of my friends in the car were black. got pulle dover in DC just for that reason, mix of black and white guys. cop atleast was honest and said he pulle dus over b/c that usually means the black dudes are taking the white dudes to get drugs in DC.
