someone took issues with you or specifically with you sleeping in your car and called the cops. If you've been doing it successfully for months and then suddenly they show up what else could it be?

They didn't accost me. So maybe I was just spooked.

what do you mean spooked? like scared?

I think the cops are gonna shoot me every time I see one

They likely took pity on you and decided not to push the issue but had to make a presence known for their reports.

Cant take any chances with cops as a black male

I'm the exact demographic they wanna see dead on the street

NACALT not all cops are like that. lol

There are no NACALTS

Yeah it's the systemic racism inherent in the police unions.

I'm pro union but not pro police union. they promote bad cops.

and namely protect them. Fuck them.

when adjusted by population white american males are slightly more likely to be shot dead by the police than black males, I wouldn't sweat it too much, just live your life and if someday a bullet has your name on it so be it

The police operate more like an occupation force than a civil law enforcement

@GingerSnaps Yeah it's possible the cops just let me off easy with a visual warning.

That's the over-militarization and preparation for a true police state thanks to the fed.

some do some don't, major metropolitan police forces are by far more aggressive than small town cops

@unclefester hey i could be wrong. i wasn't there nor a fly on the wall for the police call.

I've seen small town cops come out in full force just to search a bus passing through

@GingerSnaps Either way, I couldn't take chances any more. I had to find other places to park my car at night. Finally, I left the US about a month or two after that....

Too many niggas coming through their little white paradise

I'd disagree with that. except one small town police force and it seems to be the small town no name police forces that get the most assault rifles, riot gear, etc. Cause they know once you're in that city you ain't going nowhere for a while. It's a lot easier to dodge the authorities in rural america.

@Kaiser Dion Napoleon I'm sorry you see it that way and I know my disagreeing with you likely won't change your mind

I'm just speaking from my personal experience. I've never been hassled by a metropolitan police force, always small town cops.

@Phosis T'Kar I do not like cops, cant afford to with this skin color. Completely inspite that I am very law abiding

Hands on the steering wheel whole time if they approach

Or by my side like I'm standing at attention

And never say more than they ask directly for

I always do the same thing, though I'm always armed, though in my state everyone is armed pretty much so the cops are used to it

no offense but I'm not that servile and i am a law abiding citizen.

if i was a black male i'd probably have the same fears, concerns, etc.

I have to be or else I walk the line

I don't view it as being servile, I just don't push any buttons with people who can kill me

Yeah white privilege doesn't exist in my opinion except for when it comes to the popo. @Phosis T'Kar yeah i see your point. Maybe i misspoke.

There is no possible way to misconscrew anything I do if I stand completely still and only respond with quick direct answers

once again my personal philosophy is that there's no use living in fear, if it's my time to die its my time to die, I made my peace long ago

here here.

There is no such thing as your time to die

Anything short of natural causes is always within your control

But would it still be within your control if you did everything right like you try to do and the cop still shot you dead?

everyone dies at some point, and I've lost far too many friends to unnatural causes to believe that we can control our fates too much
