I’ve been pulled over for what I considered random
crap. The Officers from various departments were definitely not in a popularity contest.They were brief & to
the point.Their perception of my attitude toward them clearly reflected on how I would be treated. On no occasion did I get the impression of friendliness. I new that if I created an issue, I may not have a pleasant experience.
Nobody likes to be detained by the police, period.
I’m white, middle aged, & foreign born. None of which
were ever used against me by an Officer.

Good work, I just saw a recent news item about her stiffing a caterer for some Obama early vote BBQ… your article provided some interesting history of this foul woman.

Sigh… you know, I receive racist comments on this post I have to delete all the time. It never ceases to astound me how people attempt to agree with my criticism of racism… with racism. Borf.

Now what are we to think of Miss Daisy? Her little Juan was found to be using her city parking pass. So little integrity, so much time to abuse her power.

Yes, “White Boy” is offensive! Just put the shoe on the other foot-white city councilwoman’s son pulled over by black police officer; she states publically “I didn’t want my son shot by some black-boy cop.” What would have been the response? Forced resignation, on camera apologies, state-sponsored “sensivity training”, raked over the coals. But in this case, NOTHING! And by the way, we’re MEN, not boys.

Yeah, it’s sad, but so many people seem to think that feeling this way means you are ignoring the problems. I fullt recognize there are problems, but assuming them and recognizing them are two different things, and one is important, while the other is damaging. By the way, I thought Metroblogging could take a break from Lynum, I want my next post to be on a positive note over there.

Here here! I get pulled over too. Does one group of people believe that they are the only ones being stopped for minor infractions? If my tail light is out … because I’m white I get a “pass”?? No.

We’re never going to get past racism as long as we have people (regardless of color) screaming racist remarks whenever they don’t like a certain chain of events. There was a time when many things were racailly motivated, but you have to honestly appraise the situation and objectively ask yourself, did this happen because of my skin color or because *I* did something (or didn’t do something — like stop at a stop sign) that caused this to happen.

We live in a very paranoid society. “What are YOU looking at” seems to prevail everywhere you go. People all worked up over nothing. My momma always said.. “A person with nothing to hide, hides nothing”. I’m not afraid of being pulled over or to have policeman roam my streets, because I’ve done nothing to warrant being worried about. But I could sit around and get paranoid that someone might target a single mother of two in a profile and become paranoid… and nervous… and jittery… and then write letters to folks and tell them I’m being punished because I’m a single mom.

I try to believe the good about everybody, until they prove me wrong. I try to turn the other cheek even when someone wrongs me. I try to do my best everyday and hurt nobody in the process. These are simple things, but clearly there are some who haven’t thought to do it.
