    I don't assume that. That being said its not an institutional problem. I know this thread doesn't prove anything but i know no one here even knows any victims because i know it isn't a problem

    Cannot say I had any bad encounter with any law enforcement. The worst thing I experienced was when I was young and we were driving through Philadelphia, the car had engine problem. There was a cop car near by, when we tried to ask them for help, they just took off before my dad could reach them.

    Well, shoot, as long as you say so.

    I had a much more triggered response, which I edited. It’s not worth it.

    Honestly . .. i have serious doubts about your intent
    Recounting something would only piss me off
    as you try to justify it . . . .dismiss it .. .or minimize it
    It's a Tuesday and I'm in a decent mood . .. so I'm good

    But thanks for asking

    I'm obviously brown. No direct brutality but major intimidation and jackass tactics many many times. More times than not actually and from white, black, and brown LEOs equally. Though I will say white and brown LEOs seem to be worse from my experience but that could just be a numbers thing.

    Looks like @Rocket River hit the nail on the head of this one.

    No point in doing so because he'll do one of the 3.

    He didn't say what happened. How about this, did he report the incident. RR has never said in these threads in 16 years ive been here he has experienced brutality. RR, of all posters

    Edit: i love Rocket River and all members of this forum. Don't wanna make this personal

    I have experienced a few being huge assholes with attitudes over the years but never anything more. I am white but I always follow any orders given by the police. Most of my bad experiences are with small town police officers. The officers from larger towns and from the Texas DPS that I have come in contact with have been more professional.

    Sister was molested by a cop in Cedar Park. She was driving her minivan with my two toddler nieces, going the speed limit, was pulled over for no reason, frisked, and sent away with a warning. Dude didn't call for a female officer to frisk. Just up and did it himself.

    No police brutality in the sense that violence was done but I still chalk it up to sexual assault. Same has happened with girlfriend. Cops are dicks.
