Maryland cop puts gun against a man’s head—and at his mouth, “We’re PGPD; we shoot people,”

-One of my neighbors being physically abused. Cops showed up in just a few minutes, handled the guy professionally as they escorted him to the car (the guy had a previous charge for a concealed firearm). -Once where I got in a car accident (my tire gave out, I crashed into a sign). Cop was totally helpful, no ticket involved. -Once where I was babysitting with some kids outside and somebody didn't see me, thought kids were unattended. Cops came up, saw me, gave a polite hello, even plate with the kids a few minutes before going to the station. -Once where I called because some neighbors were going nuts and throwing all their ex's stuff in the elevator while said ex wasn't home. This included breaking glass on frames, so elevator was full of glass. Cops came out and were basically like "Dude, put this stuff outside the door at least. Not in the elevator. And stop breaking it." -A few noise complaints, nothing serious. Cops were respectful to the neighbors in question. -Yesterday a metro bus (city bus) was driving by and the sign was saying "EMERGENCY CALL 911." Called, told 911 where bus was, and within minutes there were a bunch of cops on that part of the road trying to find the bus. -The only arrest (other than possibly the bus thing, idk about that) was the neighbor who was beating a woman. Which was totally justified. He was also beating her kids. Fuck that guy. The cops here have always been friendly and respectful.

I think it's childish to take an entire group and hate them. If I meet one bad black person, or many, or look at their incarceration level, or how many stories of blacks commuting crimes on the news, maybe I could stand and say "fuck black people." Except that would be WRONG. There are some bad black people-just like people of any other color. To judge an entire group based on a portion of its individuals is stupid. That goes for race, gender, sexuality, political affiliation, whatever else-AND profession.
