Do you have any horror stories involving the police?

The police are supposed to serve and protect, but it seems like it's the opposite when it comes to the black community. With the constant news about cops murdering black men and women, like it's nothing. It's happening so much, that I do worry everytime I see a cop drive by.

I've been stopped by the police a couple times, thankfully nothing ever came of it. They were always chill with me, and respectful, but I know not all cops are out there to get you. But, I still worry about the corrupt ones who are still on the force. Because, dude, they're out there and are probably getting away with murder on a daily basis.

Anyway, have you ever experienced bad treatment from a police officer? And if so, how did it affect you overall?

    381 murders by the police in 2020 in the "blackest city" outside Africa. 100% of them black males.

    The worse encounter I had was driving a Jaguar and getting pulled over and being treated like a criminal for an hour why they tried to find any reason they could to say I stole it.

    No, many people are trying to paint Bolsonaro as this big villain but they fail to remember that during PT's years (left wing/democrat) it occured the highest numbers of black people's incarceration in the history of the country. This republic system is not here to save us.

    It's messed up. Things got to change.

    It's like they can't understand that we can be successful. I hate that so many people get pulled over for being black and driving a good vehicle. "Oh ya musta stole it derrr" The cop is thinking.

    That's another thing. We get accused of so much false bs. It's like they see a black dude, and think, oh he matches the description. It's like they hear black male, and think it's gotta be the guy we're looking for. It's so messed up.
    Luckily I haven't dealt with anything too bad. I was in the car a couple times when I was little and my dad got pulled over for not wearing a seat belt. Nothing ever happened which I'm glad about because we were in GA and you never know.
    My mom got stopped once when I was with her, and it wasn't bad. The cop was nice, but his partner seemed to be in a hurry and was really bitchy towards us.
    I have stories for days. I was a cop for almost 10 years.

    Not the kind of cop you're thinking of
    You should make a topic for it. I'd be down to read some of those stories.
