I am curious: I am curious if any white folks get “hassled” by the police?
If so, do you video tape it? How do you handle it?
Are blacks “targeted?”
Do we hear about stops and real or perceived injustices more from blacks because we go to the camera or news and whites don’t or does it only happen to blacks?
If you are white, have you been pulled over because you were in the wrong neighborhood?
Have you been asked to leave a certain area because you were making people uncomfortable?
Have you been pulled over or stopped and acted childish and gotten a ticket?
Has someone called the popo on you trying to get in or out of a house?
Get stopped or a ticket for loitering?
And so on… there are all sorts of “I have been wronged” or hassled by the police situations
Or have you ever been unjustly interrogated?
Or do you know of other whites who have had issues with the police? Doesn’t have to be you. Even links or news stories.
This is not about bashing the police, and I, Ayesha Kreutz, am pro-police! I believe police officers and first responders have a difficult and dangerous job. I am simply curious as to why there are so many news stories and social media posts and hype shown about blacks. So I posted the question on my facebook page and so far have found hundreds of whites have also been “improperly” targeted, or hassled by the police. (I use quotes because that is people perception and not necessarily the facts or the truth.
What is the difference in the reporting of such things?
Here are some of the responses – Feel Free to add your experience – This is just an experiment
I can tell you flat out, most of them are total doucebags.
Arrogant, authoritarian, doucebags.
There was one cop in Brighton…..sitting behind me at a red light. My phone rang, i picked it up and answered it (on speaker phone). Moments later the light turned green. I preceded, he threw on the lights. I pulled over (way over, for his safety) he approached the truck with his pistol out, and stood behind the B pillar. Acting irritated and frightened, he asked for my papers…..
He gave me a cell phone ticket, a littering ticket… for what, i have no idea.
And an expired registration ticket….. the registration wasn’t expired….. I brought that to his attention, he said “that’s your problem”…..
When we were done, i went straight to the Brighton PD…. and asked for the highest ranking officer i could see….
Told him in no uncertain terms that this guy is a fucking asshole, who cant handle the authority he was given…I stopped short of filling an offical complaint…. but i told him if i ever see him on the news, for something I’m going to document this conversation, and share this story with anyone that will listen.
I was pulled over in mid Indiana because I did not use my turn signal for a full 300 ft when p…See More
