You don't have to call him a racist, that's not really going to get you out of a $50 changing lanes violation on your cool scooter, Brian.

He was already arrested when he brought up race. They were putting him in handcuffs for his intimidating 6 foot size

He didn't do that until he was getting out in handcuffs. He had already told them to just give him the ticket

or else what....you gonna type in all caps? When was the last time you told a grown man in public to take it down a notch.....take your time i'll wait.

Yesterday when me and my cousin were putting a shelf together and he put the middle shelf one notch too high.

You shouldn't have to be "polite" to a police offer to not get arrested. They are government employed and as we learned in school government is a system empowered by "the people" to protect "the people". I dont have to be nice to at&t but they still provide me service, as does comcast, waitresses, etc. A uniform does not exclude me from being able to speak at you unless it is breaking a law. This is a touchy subject with me because I experienced a similar situation last year in Lafayette.

I find this situation interesting. I live in Miami and noticed the police were out in full force pulling people over all over Highway 95 on Sunday. The airport was even worse - there was massive harassment of anyone stopping for even a few seconds (no exaggeration) to pick up their family or friends - handing out tickets like candy - and this was beyond being reasonable and to me, appeared abusive.

My guess was that it was the end of the month and their a-hole quotas (performance standards) were not met - so they were looking to ticket anyone for anything.

So I understand this is a touchy situation when you're pulled over for something petty by a cop who then proceeds to act like an absolute bully - as I witnessed at the airport yesterday.

I'm not trying to attack you.

You're getting worked up over words from a stranger that aren't even insulting.

He's a frat bro, that's pretty much what they do.
