2. i am white and really tall, 6'6", as a Teenager i was stopped in our town of 40,000 ALL the TIME..
once walking home from Church with suit and tie and a Bible, i was an Eagle Scout, i ran 6 miles in the evenings in track shorts and schools team long distance runners tank top.. they set up check points and stopped me at least 4 times a evening, for 6 YEARS.. 'where ya going in such a hurry?" same guys and they weren't being humerus..i had my drivers liscence in plasic thing pinned on my jersey, once they demanded my draft card, no exception to the law, and were going to run me in for looking like some guy 5'10", i said i was 6'6" and he grabbed his stick and said,'a couple inches doesnt make any difference'.. they wanted an excuse to bust my head.. one of them beat my friend with a stick, a sap and his gun 43 times for giving his friend a ride home.. the cop had a reputation for beating people.. however my friend was encircled by 20 customers from a restaurant as the beating went on they shouted out the number of the strike as the cop hit him.. trying to tell him they were witnesses.. my friend was the vice president of the local Local Teamsters Union.. that is the only thing that stopped the rogue cop after years of brutalizing young people.. and they let him quit and go free.

people need to organize and start a Citizens Review Board and document as many incidents and the offending officer, collect police reports and get statistics and take them to court. they want us to believe we are powerless, but we are not.. but we have to put a lot of constructive effort into initiating change. or nothig changes, these guys are not doing the job they are paid to do, it is safer to mess with kids, bust a kid for a joint than mess with herion dealers..they carry guns and after all the CIA probably runs that operation
