...I was civil with the officers who stopped me and they were civil with me in return. Once they knew WHO I was and what I was doing in that area...not only did they not stop me...they would return my wave of greeting as I drove past.
LOL, man...the nievete is astounding. If you asked anyone else in that drug area their experiences I guarantee waves and letting you go about your business isn't part of it
Bullshit.
If you have no record the cop isnt going to **** with you, idiot.
In a high drug area? Thats your privilege showing...pretending that your personal anecdote is the case for most people.
You actually drove frequently to a drug area and were waved at. Let that sink in for a second because people who LIVE in those areas get harassed....no, but not you tho.
I worked a high drug/high crime area. Mostly blacks and hispanics. I knew many people there and many were good folks. I waved at them. Chatted with them at the gas station getting my coffee. Granparents. Young adults who were trying to work for a better life. Simple blue collar workers who maybe had troubled pasts but now we're working honest and doing ok. Good people.
But the thugs and gang members who terrorized those folks, robbed them, raped them, and killed them? We busted their ******* heads. We fucked with them every time we saw them. We tried to make them HATE being in that neighborhood....and made them never want to come back. We knew who they were. We would follow them until they committed a minor offense so we could **** with them and try to find a jail able offense or scare them out of the community for the night.
And crime dropped. I know liberals will protest that. **** em. It was for all those good citizens to live in peace....not to please a ******* liberal. I don't regret it for a second. And most people who lived there would say they are thankful for it.
But that was 20 years ago.
Today's cops can't clean a neighborhood like that. They must hug the thugs. Serve them hot tea. Tolerate their crimes or be put on trial themselves. We can thank liberals for it.
