Remember that conversation...

7. What do you want to bet that the jerk also denies the existence of white privilege?

Good grief, when I lived in L.A. so many years and hosted new families mostly from Asia until they could get settled, they were often horrified when I'd go down to the local cop house and give them hell for one thing or another. Besides pretty much knowing how to walk a fine line, I knew damn well why I got away with it. I don't see how others can deny something that has been a large part of my life and most people like me. Everyone should have leave to do that, but I know damn well they don't. Hell, maybe even I couldn't get away with it now.

But I do want a 'welcome' mat at my front door that says, COME BACK WITH A WARRANT. I don't like this local police chief either. The only thing I can give him credit for is that when a rampaging teabagger 'patriot' filed a false police report on me in a vain attempt at swatting, at least the chief knew better than to come charging in on that guy's word. Can't tell me he didn't want to, though.
