I guess I will have to switch to Log Cabin --- but that will probably offend an entire group of Republicans.

All of those are sugar water. Try some Vermont maple syrup, the real stuff. You will never go back lol.

At a police station tucked into an end-of-the-line subway terminal in South Brooklyn, the new commander instructed officers to think of white and Asian people as “soft targets” and urged them to instead go after blacks and Latinos for minor offenses like jumping the turnstile, a half-dozen officers said in sworn statements.

“You are stopping too many Russian and Chinese,” one of the officers, Daniel Perez, recalled the commander telling him earlier this decade.

Another officer, Aaron Diaz, recalled the same commander saying in 2012, “You should write more black and Hispanic people.”

The two things that have to change in the US that would help.

1. Ticket targets which make citizens a revenue source to fund departments.
2. Relating to one, politically appointed mayors, district attorneys and elected police who demand crackdowns in election years. This is an unusual aspect of US culture which seems really dodgy to everyone else.

Even if cops are not racially motivated, they are driven to predatory enforcement behavior which primes them for further corruption. They should be in the mindset to only help people not roll them over.

Other countries don't do this, the notable exception being traffic and speed cameras but at least these are automated and consistently fair/unfair.

There’s an excellent book called the ‘The color of Law’ that reviews the legal aspects that built the systemic racial system we live in, in America today. Just because these laws were pulled off of the books in the 1960s doesn’t mean it did not create an oppressive system we still live with today. If anything the segregation of the past has amplified the disparities today.

Then, assuming you present to them as you do here at ET, I suppose the only question that remains is how you avoid getting the shit beaten out of you regularly.
