I have no tattoos, no swagger, don’t smoke or swear, never pack an attitude EVAR, and I was robbed by 2 uniformed cops in the Mission District in San Francisco.
Patted me down for no reason, then handed my wallet back to me after extracting the cash.
I’m still flabbergasted.
DO NOT TRUST COPS —this can happen to YOU, rest assured.
Sorry, some cops are CRIMINALS.
The NYC bike gang beating —5 cops were present and one was an active beating PARTICIPANT.
In Oakland California if you have a DOCUMENTED HISTORY of gang involvement it’s still OK for you to test, interview and accept a position as an armed, badged officer.
Ah, come to your house and get your cat out of the high tree..?!

“Patted me down for no reason, then handed my wallet back to me after extracting the cash.”
Glad they didn’t pat you down with a nightstick.
Anyone confronted by cops should make it a point to memorize the offending cop's badge number. It's easy enough to get access to a police roster to identify the cop's name and history, and even their home address. I don't need to tell you what you could do with that once you have it.
