Former O.C. sheriff was secretly taped using racist and coarse language

[Ban Hammer 13,352]

I've had a 9mm handgun pressed against my forehead hard enough to leave a ring for 4 hours, so I know how you feel there.

this wouldn't happen if you'd wash the dishes when mags asks you nicely the first time.

I'm always careful not to set myself up for trouble, not drinking too much nor raise my voice in public, etc. Its too easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the law, and if you can't think yourself out of a situation, you're so much worse off.

However I don't believe that all sheriffs are corrupt if that is where the lack of surprise is springing from.

I was walking down Melrose Ave. in Hollywood back when I was right out of High School, and I had a cop in an unmarked car yell to me, "You better not cross that street!" So, I crossed it, not knowing who this idiot was yelling at me. The cop ordered me back to the street corner where he was parked, and got in my face and said, "You're not having a bad day are you?" His partner told him, "Calm down". He then said, "You take the first hit!"

I just met my ex-wife and she had a party at her apartment where she lived during college, and her camera and house keys were stolen. I went along w/her to the police station, because I thought she was a nice person, and the police officer - a white female police officer asked her, "Is HE the suspect?"

I finished DJing a music event here in Southern CA and some thugs ran through the parking lot allegedly with a loaded handgun. Everyone leaving the event ~15 min. later was told to kneel on the asphalt with their hands behind their heads. As we were searched, the white male cop threatened each one of us with a bullet between the eyes if we had a weapon on us. I still can't talk about this with most people, because it makes me so upset.

When I was visiting Oxford St. in London when I was younger, there were allegedly, "Some Black toughs assaulting an old lady." So, my brother, my friend and I (all Black) were detained on the street, with the police clutching their bobbie sticks, ready to strike us. No, we didn't have weapons of any sort on us.

Do I trust the police? No.

Do I set myself up where I can come into contact (late at night, or otherwise) with the police? No.

Do I drive a vehicle which attracts the WRONG attention from law enforcement authorities? No.

Do I dress in a way which attracts the WRONG attention from law enforcement authorities? No.

Do I believe Sheriff Carona is a racist scumbag who deserves to have the book thrown at him? Of course.

The cops in Plainfield Indiana ( a redneck suburb of Indy) regularly pull people over for DWB - Driving While Black.

One of my friends and co-workers was detained in Calgary, Alberta because he was black and had the same name as a guy who was wanted for murder. SSN didn't match, and the other guy was older, but they still questioned him (and threatened him) for 5 hours. We ended up having to cancel work that day and drive back to the airport to pick him up (we were in Airdrie, AB) because they also wouldn't let him pick up the rental car that was in his name.

In Canada? That's not possible because everybody knows that Canada is devoid of racism. Maybe they were Americans on temporary duty?
