Although we totally believe you when you say you're not a racist and "have black friends", you have to anticipate that some of the liberal snowflakes will "blow things all out of proportion" if you give them the opportunity. With that in mind, here are some tips.

---Wear clothing that conceals all Klan, nazi or other white/Christian supremacy tats. Those crowns and swastikas, etc. will be interpreted by the liberal media as indications that you are unfit to serve. Really!

---Avoid wearing Oath Keeper, 3-percenter or similar patches on your uniform or tactical gear. Same reason as above.

---As difficult as this may be, try not to brag on line about how you "thumped" some smartass---"person of color". You won't believe how this will be misconstrued!

---For every 10 or so--"POC"s---that you pull over and roust for "air freshener on rear view mirror", "weaving within the lane", etc., pull over some real American white guy and politely give him a verbal warning. This is so you can say you are "not prejudiced" against those who "drive while black".

See you at our next gathering at you know where. ( No regalia to be worn this time )

1. I'm not black, but I became disgusted & fearful of police long ago when incidents of "lone" officers

(as well as some police impersonators) were pulling women driving alone--especially shift workers late at night/early morning under the guise of traffic infractions and raping them. In a case I can recall several years ago, one woman was found dead.

I too would have driven to a well-lit area (as with the VA military LT), locked my doors, and demanded the officer's badge number so that I could verify the stop and authenticity via 911.

I don't say this to take away from any of the horrific abuse of POC by police in these episodes, but only to remind women, in particular, that they may be targeted by the (hopefully rare "bad" ) cops/Sheriff Deputies as well. This may well need to be the conversation we have with daughters (of all races) now too.

2. I've watched at least two different episodes of "Forensic Files" that addressed

cases of actual police officers that pulled over women they had spotted, and attempted to assault them before murdering them.

In one case in California, I believe, the CHP officer had actually done video pieces broadcast on the local news offering safety tips to women!

3. ya know, when my eldest lived w me in chi,

she went out and found herself a cpd leather jacket, specifically for the purpose of repelling asshole cops. she ran into one too many that leered at her chest while questioning her about nothing.
she wore that jacket and they assumed she was the property of another cop.
they left her alone.
