Few Americans have failed to notice, at one point or another, a strange hostile energy that exists in the dynamic between the police and the law abiding public.
Great post. The first time I ever experienced racism in my life was by a White cop in Los Angeles. He stuck a pistol in my face, called me a Nigger, and told me he would kill me. I was 14. To this day I can still see his lips shaking in rage. His piercing blue eyes, him grinding his teeth. He was evil. Needless to say I was shook. I never forgot that, manifestly. I even wrote about it. Ironically my daughter is in law enforcement but I still see a disconnect between them and regular, decent people. In Los Angeles, and elsewhere they are just another gang....
