Capitalism is a wonderful thing, and has been what has kept free men free.
It is only when the abuse and corruptness take part that it seems to be a bad thing. Like all things, actually. There isn't one system or group that doesn't have corruption and abuse at some level.
I've experienced cops being dicks. Most of us have. There are dicks in all walks of life. If the truth be told, most of us that have had cuffs thrown on for PI or DC damn well deserved to be cuffed. I have been, and I did. I knew I was the one who fucked up with the click of the cuffs.
I have also had copes give me the breaks of lifetimes! I have been in the situation where the driver was too drunk to be driving, and the cop let me drive us home...even when he knew I was the lesser of two drunks. My life could have been really fucked up that day, but he gave us a break.
I also was pulled over by a Statie once as my buds and I were toking a fatty. Young cop with the smokey bear hat pulled down low said; "I smell some funky stuff!" "Y'all got any more of that left?"
"Yes sir...I have this fat roach here...." as I pull out a thumb sized roll from the tray...
The young statie takes the roach and rolls the dope out of it onto the ground.
"I bet that hurts don't it?" "Hell yes it does"
"You boys go on now, and I don't want to see you all back out here again tonight!"
That cop was not a dick, and my life could have been changed that day. He would have had lots of charges had he actually arrested us and searched us and my ride.
If I were a cop, I would pop someone if he smarted off...especially if I was giving them a break, like letting them find their own way home, when I knew I could pop the guy without even questioning it.
Yeah, most copes are dicks...but why fuck with them when we know this? I say keep you mouth shut and act like you respect the guy, even if you don't. That is all they really want anyway.
