In a traffic stop situation, it seems black people should’ve learned by now that they only have two options. Either behave peaceably (and accept the consequences of their illegal traffic action)...or resist/start a fight and get shot/choked out. Common sense would tell them to take Option #1. But no...they opt to die. Why? I just don’t understand that.

If I’m pulled over on the side of the road, with a cop car behind me, their blue lights a-flashing...yes, that’s the LAST PLACE I WANT TO BE. But, I refrain from dying by a accepting the ticket for my traffic infraction...and live to see another day.

"Well, the British have the expression, 'I'm all right, Jack'"

Also...."I'm on the bus, Jack. Ding ding"

Yeah...you got pulled over for a reason. It can be something you may not know about...brake light out...or something that you did...driving erratically, stolen license plate.... If you know you’re driving a car that’s stolen, maybe get out and run like hell. But fight the cops? That’s beyond stupid.

Cynical, depressing, and spot-on.

"Also...."I'm on the bus, Jack. Ding ding"

Thanks...haven't heard that one yet.

From the days in the UK when buses had a conductor as well as driver. The former sold tickets; monitored capacity. "Ding ding" was the signal from the conductor that it was OK to drive on. (Passenger door was at the rear.)

Too much information?

"Too much information?"

Not all all. Thanks, I love history, and trivia like that.

You are so welcome.

All this talk nowadays about where to put trannies in the prison system.

Yes, I remember years ago when a video of Richard Speck with a another man on video, talking a smoking a substance before doing, whatever....(they didn’t show that part)

He had breasts and looked like he was on some estrogen.

I have an AA CRJU and paralegal studies from UNO, but it never went, anywhere. I ended up in communications.

When I was 20, I went to put in an application for the police academy, and these two black, women smirked, and told me just to fill out a postcard.

I was a 117 dripping wet at the time, so, maybe they had a point.

Enjoyed your post, and thank-you.
