Not a ZZ Top thread.

Does every black man have experience?

These guys should be fired for how they handled arresting someone accused of a nonviolent (technically?) crime. But I'm not going get down on them for rolling on a call from someone claiming they witnessed a car being stolen. They broke bad (and made this kid rich) when they didn't run the plates upon arrival at the scene and instead proceeded to tackle and beat him. No problem that they stopped him initially, though.

Nobody has ever lied to cops before you're right.

If I had a nickel for every time this happened to me ...

You do.

This is real no doubt. I had a watch commander who was very racist and wanted to make sure anyone driving through town (or living in town, of course) that was black, was hassled as much as possible and arrested whenever possible. He wanted to discourage any blacks thinking about spending any time in town, to reconsider. It was never about picking on blacks just because we wanted to make their lives miserable. It was about making them feel unwelcome and causing them to stay out of our town. I have to believe this happens in many towns.

Had cops pull guns on me twice (shotgun first 9 mm the next time). Got a ticket for 6 mph over the speed limit once as a result. The other time the cop thought I stole my old pull out radio out of my own car.

Had cops incorrectly identify me as a defendant in cases where eyewitness testimony was the basis for the cases.

But at the same time I had a couple of friends murdered and no real investigation was ever done.

Oh but I am sure they were good boys who never hurt nobody, right?

Also, do you understand how NOT NORMAL it is in the USA to have a couple friends murdered? That really outside of Chicago there are very few places where that can be said so non nonchalantly. Maybe there's a reason police act that way in a community where that is the norm.
