Cops do it again. Now it's "Charging Your Electric Vehicle While Black".

[hunter]

69. I rarely carry I.D....

...because I like to pretend I live in some kind of Democratic Republic, not some "Papers Please!" fascist state.

I'm way more bad-ass than any "Second Amendment" gun nut. I don't need guns to feel secure.

I'm also keenly aware I can get away with that because I'm very white and usually very polite.

I learned polite by bad example. My wild west mom and her mom often failed in the polite department. But way back then any cop who provoked a physical altercation with an angry white women and lost would have been marked forever as a sissy. Damaging or killing a white women wouldn't enhance a cop reputation.

When the courts declared my grandma a danger to herself and others, she held off the police and paramedics for about four hours that seemed like centuries, hitting, kicking, clawing, throwing things, biting, and cussing like the World War II shipyard welder and after hours party girl she once was.

My mom had previously removed the guns from grandma's house, but later we found more.



Either my grandma had forgotten where she'd hid the guns, or she'd still been sane enough not to escalate a hopeless situation.

I wouldn't trust many of today's cops as far as I'd have trusted my grandma at her very, very, wild west worst.

Grandma's Berserker states could almost be considered an art form. But in cops such behavior is simply very crass, ugly, unprofessional, occasionally escalating to outright murderous.
