Police Officer Shootings
I've been beaten up by the San Diego police while co-operating with them during questioning (over something I was not guilty of). When I filed a complaint (as you suggested in your article)they came to my house a week later, drug me out of my driveway and kicked my ass again in front of my mother. I'm sure you'll assume I was doing something wrong, but that would be a completely ignorant assumption. I am a white professional businessman, who learned to distrust the police at a very early age. I am 40 years old now, and a productive upright citizen, with a spotless criminal record. And I hate the police with a ferver. I am not a "loser" as you assume everyone who encounters a cop is. But in every limited encounter I've had with the police, they've gone out of their way to be complete a**holes. I'm sure there are good cops, but at best, I consider them a necessary evil. And when a white, suburban, "suit" thinks that way, you can be damn sure that our police have an image problem that needs correcting, for their own safety, as well as that of the people they've sworn to protect.— April 20, 2009 8:37 p.m.
