as a white, middle class male I don't deal with the police. I, too, am afraid for my life every time I run across the shield. if you cant trust the cops not to kill you, why have police at all?
maybe we should stop criminalizing everyday life, and stop using the police to enforce moral behavior and draw their focus back to enforcing violence crime and crimes against property.
We have the police doing too much, and forcing to many laws that should be taken off the books.
