A uniform doesn't make someone correct. It's that reasoning that makes people give cops the side eye and feel endangered rather than protected.

About a week ago, a cop stopped and decided to ask me a million questions because it looked like "I shopped too much". As in, had too many shopping bags. I was outside my house, taking the bags from the back of my moms friends truck. My moms friend was helping me. Nothing was suspicious or out of ordinary. It seemed like he was looking to cause trouble for no reason. Also asking my name and if that was my house. I didn't tell him my name cause I felt there wasn't a reason for it. He even tried to blame me for a shopping cart that was on the sidewalk over a block away, that was parked halfway in a neighbors yard. I responded it wasn't mine and would rather not go into someone's property as the cart might actually belong to them, the cop still kept trying to pull attitude.

I understand you're "one of them" and have to stick up for your gang no matter what. But chest puffing does no one any good. Harassment is just that, even if the person is uniformed. Its unfortunate people aren't able to walk away without possibly getting shot.
