Maybe not exactly once per week, but you get the drift, that he was pulled over a lot.

Even monthly would be 48 times during HS years. Would you like to revise the number again?

For what was he pulled over?

He didn't have long hair and his El Camino until his senior year when all the stops happened

Thanks for doing the legwork 89. Not only is law enforcement prejudiced, but you're compiling how much of a threat to freedom they are and how important it is to reign in and reform them.

Concluding that all law enforcement is prejudiced and a threat to freedom based on the small percentage of public interactions that end with unnecessary deaths is similar to concluding that all engineers are prejudiced and a threat to public safety based on small percentage of buildings that collapse. We would be better off if we did away with engineering as a discipline.

I"m not sure was 89 was trying to prove, but there are bad cops, and even though you say you don't believe it, there are a lot of good cops out there. A lot of people have been posting that blacks are bad, 89 showed that whites can be bad too, same with other groups of people.

My son was pulled over weekly when he was in High School. He followed all the rules, had long hair. He never got in trouble or got a ticket, just kept getting pulled over.
I've been pulled over five times in the State of Washington for minor stuff like 3 miles over the speed limit, mud on my front license plate, changing lanes without using a blinker and two other small reasons.

All of them in a company car so I sure wasn't trying to break any rules, as if I had gotten two moving violations, I would have lost my job.

In regards to the changing lanes without a blinker, the highway patrolman even admitted he was looking for drunk drivers. Of course when he figured out I was going to Missoula for Griz Cat, he said, "Go Griz!"
Defund the Police!

Maybe they're on to something with that after all. ;)

Isn’t this at least the second or third thread on this belabored subject? :|
Are you ok with running down blacks on this site, on thread after thread after thread. I don't see you complaining about that.
Don’t start with me, Gil.

Those actions are followed up with "yes sir" and "no sir" and absolutely no talking back.
I do all those things too....only I do them so the cop doesn’t fear for HIS/HER life.

We are in season 4 of Game of Thrones, so I better get my last word in on the subject. I've got quite a few people that want to shut me down with this. What a lot of people are saying about African Americans doesn't match my experience working and living with African American's. I'm just standing up for what I know as fact, versus all this political BS buzzing around our lives. I don't know everything like 89hen does, but a wise man, not 89hen, once told me if I'm getting kicked in the ass, I'm moving forward, if people are throwing dirt in my face I'm gaining ground. I've gained much knowledge in recent days, of which posters I can trust on this site, and who the sly one's are. With that said, you all know my thoughts, so I'll end it here.

Season 4, episode 8 was the best GOT episode in my opinion. I won't say anymore.
