Do you get racially abused?

It's a bit different, cause being in favour of attacking Iraq is not a crime. Also, it's arranged by politicians and oil firms, not by regular 9 to 5 people. If a cop harrasses you just for the fuck of it, I'm of course against it and shit. I'm not as pro-cops as you might think right now. I'm just saying that profiling is not wrong as long as it prevents more bad acts than it creates. More people getting killed or robbed because cops stop checking guys who look like gangbangers would be a very unfortunate thing to happen in my opinion.

The times that I have gotten pulled over, about 2-4 additional cop cars come around to just be there. lol hilarious

it is wrong, because it creates an environment where certain people are innocent until proven guilty....and others are guilty until proven innocent. If a cop looks at me like a criminal when Im not based on some dickies n a white t....then im guilty until i prove im innocent. And the iraq scenario isnt different. We have troops who kill innocent people, we have troops who do some fucked up shit over there....does that mean all Americans or our troops are that way? Of course not. But under your theory....we should all be looked at as if we are all these same.

Only as long as it fits a certain purpose that outweighs the wrongness. Let's not act as if you had a terrible life because every now and then a cop checks you for a concealed gun. It's a sacrifice worth taking for the greater good of less fellow Americans getting killed and shit. If you'd feel THAT bad about your situation you'd simply dress less ghetto. You want to look like a gangbanger and not get perceived as a gangbanger. It's a bit of a contradiction. Now please don't tell me you're dressing like this because it's the hottest clothes available. There's enough stuff that looks at least as good, if not better than a 5xl white T and a 38 baggy jeans when you are like 25. You don't dress like this because it's the best looking combo you can think of, but because you like the flavour and the connotation. So deal with the consequences. Everybody is different and gets treated differently. I mean, what's next? People start to complain that hot women get treated better than ugly fat women? That competent people get better jobs than useless dim-witted fucks? Come on now. Life is unfair, people get treated differently, it is not confined to race and fashion.
Fuck Your Existence:
its simple really. if youve never had to put up with the petty,bullshit tactics the police use out here you cant understand it. its easy to sit on the sidelines and talk about something you have never experienced. to rationalize an obvious abuse of power by anyone,under any circumstance is ridiculous. our judicial system is a joke and what ive been through in recent months has me questioning whether or not the constitution has ever been worth the paper it was scribbled on.
