I can’t relate. I’ll take your word for it but the only shenanigans I got into as a kid was sneaking into R rated movies. Oh I got busted once for sneaking into private property and having sex with my girlfriend. Owner wanted to press charges but the cop talked her out of it because I was 17 and maybe a month from shipping out for basic training. I’ve never had a negative interaction with a cop.
But you know I’m a pretty fucking boring person. Don’t take that to mean I’m on the cops’ side when they do stupid shit. I’m just not on team ACAB.
…You realize you are agreeing with me, right? If that cop just felt like it, you would have been fucked, and there was nothing you could have done about it…
That is exactly what happens to minority kids all the time. I’m going to assume you’re not black, cause that exact same situation with a black kid would have ended up with that kid not going to basic.
I never said I disagreed. I said I couldn’t relate. I never smoked or broke into construction where I could represent an insurance liability or be blamed (rightly or wrongly) for missing equipment or graffiti. Sounds like the sort of thing a person ought to get in trouble for - white or black. We aren’t arguing.
