re: BRPD officer changing an elderly black couple's tire

In every single one of my interactions with law enforcement, a calm, cordial reply ALWAYS makes things go smoothly. Even with cops who started off being brusque.

It's not difficult to avoid these scenarios. Not saying there aren't cops who get out of line, but, hell, you're going to find bad apples in EVERY profession. Doesn't excuse the ones who overstep their bounds, but people need to quit acting like there's some sort of racial cleansing going on because of a few unfortunate run ins among the MILLIONS of interracial LE interactions that occur daily. It doesn't make logical sense.
