good police officers in NJ, I for one left NJ because of the constant pull overs I got while I lived there.
Pulled over 7 TIMES in NJ in the four-year period I lived there, never once a ticket.
The incident(s) Neil describes are eerily like mine, right down to the same questions. They would pull you over for BS reasons, really just a fishing expedition.
I get tired of folks who think that it's only 'criminal' types that are the ones who suffer. Or folks that always say 'well, if they just co-operate or be more respectful to law enforcement". I have a MS degree in Computer Science and like Neil, lived/worked in suburban NJ. It doesn't matter one bit. As Malcolm X said, what do you call a black man with a Ph.D? A nigger!
I get tired of those on the right who talk about college education being important to success, and then when folks get it, they still get treated badly, or in the case of the President, they call him stupid and dumb, even though he graduated from the same school they themselves or their kids graduated from!
I read some of the responses to this thread about people at their age giving up on things getting better. You guys are a bit older than me, I just had my 50th birthday recently, and I too am already at that point. The incidents this past week, I have just pretty much given up, and don't even want to discuss them with anybody, friends, workmates, etc. I'm 'tired of being sick and tired'. The truly sad thing is, that's not my personality at all, to just give up!
