I want it to be known that I do not think all cops or authority figures are bad! It is only my attempt to bring to light that there is a serious miss use of power in America! If this is is what you can see out in the open then imagine what the system that we believe is here to protect us and correct us is capable of behind closed doors! There are good people as much as there are bad people but we must stand up and fight injustice where Ever it Is.
Just remember in the fight to take down "The bad guys" we could at anytime end up Like Sean Bell who did nothing but happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong kind! It reminds me of an experience that could have gone badly if I had not known to handle the police and a sharp cab driver helped stop something from being worse then it it ever Got!
I was on Burke st. in Winstion-Salem trying to get a friend of mine to settle down! Another friend had followed my friend over to first street. My friend had thrown something large and metal out in the road causing a loud sound! The bars were close to closing up shop. And apparently the police heard it! By that time I got my friend to pick the item up out of the road! It was over a fight from earlyer and he was livid pissed my other friend was too drunk to help so she just stood around!
A cab driver with a scanner heard the chirp go out over the radio and pulled through. asked me if I needed help. I said yeah I need to get thees two home. My friend with the issues was arguing with me, the cab driver and the air! About that time four stout officers come walking our way! Their ready for something because they got gloves on. They are all stout and I am a bout 6'4 and my friend is 5'11 and sees them and ain't in his right mind set and starts talking shit! I grab him by the shirt and shove him in the cab and put my other friend in the cab. The officers were on the other side of the street and saw me do all of that! one yelled at to asked if everything is ok at the same time the cab driver is saying the same thing. I get in the cab and shut the door and tell the other two to shut the fuck up as one officer approaches the the cab. The officer double checks with the cabby and the Cabby "Says no no problem! Just too much to drink "Time to go home!" The officer says ok go on have a good night!
Hey big boy that was a close call brother! They was going to beat someones ass! I said thank you and we don't have far to get! There's going to be a good tip for you! So I made everyone Cough up all the cash they had on them! Gave 50 dollars to the Cabby and kept the rest for my self! Even with what I did with that sheriff the one time I still don't want to be rumbling with cops for no good reason!! it was a close one that did not even have to get that far! Though my over all point to this story is the fact that you can find yourself in a miss understanding with the law at all times. I have been lucky enough to find my self dealing with some pretty fair cops! Though the situations could have been a lot worse!
What I am doing with this post is showing and exposing the excessive abuses of power with in the system. and again I do not think all people with a badge are bad people! So do not think that I am just hating on cops to be hating authority! Those in authority should be held to a standard and when they exceed or break the law I will be one to report on it rather then suppress the information!
