The only people who don't trust cops are those who have something to hide. I'm 58 yrs old, raised 4 children, i have never been chased by the police, and when pulled over for a traffic violation, I pull over immediately, hand over the requested items. I have always been treated respectfully. My children have never been chased by the police either ... but then again ... they are not involved in illegal activity.. If you are being chased it's for a reason, not because you're black, or brown, or green, it's because there is a problem. Trust me, the police chasing you is the last thing they want ...not only because of the danger involved for them personally, but for the paperwork involved. When i was in the service, i was told if I couldn't respect the man, respect the uniform ....same should go with our police force.

hmmm , pulled over at least 3 times a week? If every black man was pulled over three times a week, we'd need a police force the size of an army. If you're being pulled over 3 times a week it's for a reason, and it's not your color. Check your speed or take that cell phone out of your ear. sheesh

tell me, what do these white devils say to you when they pull you over? Apparently you still have your license so they haven't issued tickets ... but wait a minute ... now that i think of it ... the ONE time i was pulled over, it was by a black officer ....omg ... do you think it's a conspiracy? Yeah, that's it ... you're a joke. Trust me, white people could give a S**t what black people do unless it interferes with their lives ...

Monsta265, I agree with some of the things you say and some things I don't. I am the same age as you and I am a white woman. I got pulled over once by a white cop, just because he saw me pull out of a bar, no I was not drinking.....passed the breathilizer, TWICE!!!! Since he didn't believe it I had to walk the line and everything, then he told me he had enough to throw me in the back of his car.....he never did, thankfully a friend of mine was with me (who was extremely intoxicated). I don't know what that cop was about. But we do experience it from our own color too. Not all cops are bad and not all are good. I did know Skerski (as a cop) who was shot and killed. And I will tell you, he was definately a good cop and I am glad the police went nuts to find his killer. A couple months later my cousin was murdered....today it remains unsolved. Am I mad about that - yeah. But I'm not mad they chase after a cop killer so bad......to me it's just a killer and he needs to be caught, I'm not outraged by it. So coming from a family member of one of the 100's murdered before this officer, no the cops didn't treat my cousins life like it was any less valuable than a cops - they followed every lead, it's still not over. It's all about what the media covers in the end. (to me)
Comrades have each others back and cops have each others back. That's the way I look at it.

To annmarie58, I'm sorry about your cousin and what happened with you is what I go through too often. I get it from black cops and white cops. Not all police are bad but I've ran into a large percentage. I'm upset that the determination to find the killer is not the same. They have to be equal or people will never trust them. I've said it in other post, I don't feel for the officer, I do however feel for their families. The officer chose that profession and knew that they were in harm's way. LJ69 you have your opinion and that's what makes this country great. However, I can guarantee that my color, and my cars are a big part of me being pulled over so frequently. And what is acting BLACKY?

I agree with you! These police officers are suppose to protect & serve the community but yet there behavior is just as worse as some of the criminals out on the streets! Thats why there are people who don't respect the police and really who can blame them!
