Here is good advice never try to get away in a speeding car, never fire shots from car while speeding away, and always obey the cop on the street. Best place to fight the cop is in a court. No cop will shoot anyone in handcuffs inside a courtroom.

Cause if you cant do that one, the rest dont seem to matter.

When I was much younger, I worked with a man who became a good friend. He was an exceedingly polite person with a fairly posh English accent, and i was a fairly casual American dude. We took turns driving his van from our live on job-site to a nearby city for off-time recreation activities. I usually went about 10 over. He usually put cruise control on for the posted speed. I got pulled over 0 times. He got pulled over 6 times. 5 times the officer walked up to the window, saw me reclined in the passenger seat, and sent us on our way. The 6th time i was bushed and stayed home, and he got a ticket for speeding.

Im sure you can guess the skin colors of the humans involved in these events.

But spending 37 years of my life in Chicago, that advice worked well for me.
You will be shocked how many traffic tickets I avoided by just being polite.
But you are right about getting stopped more often than necessary. My point is the cops did not shoot me. I would guess I was stopped at least 50 times during my 37 years working in Chicago.

The Mother fucker did not even do the right thing in the end which would have been
to kill himself.



I bet ya he bought the assault rifle legally too. What part of "a well regulated militia" was he in?

Fuck the NRA!

That did nothing to stop the murders.

Guns are highly regulated in Chicago. But how do you regulate illegal guns?
How do you make law violators to start obeying laws?

I'm 6' 1" and when I entered college I weighed 132 pounds. I lost 12 pounds in the first two weeks of school because there was a water-borne illness in the town where I went to college so I was at 120 pounds, but meth had nothing to do with it.

I weighed 148 when I graduated from college.

I was tall in high school and my P.E. coach had us do weightlifting because he could put all of the students into the locker room so he could go into his office and ignore us. Being thin with long arms means that weightlifting was more difficult for me than the rest of the class that had short stubby arms. No matter how hard I worked out, I could never gain any muscle mass.

I was probably best at volleyball and running track. I was in the middle of the pack as far as speed was concerned, but I had more endurance than almost any of the other students.

go, and the driver says “bullshit”. I agree, driving through that intersection at that time would be a profoundly stupid idea.
