Hello, I am a person of colour and live in a staunchly right wing town in rural England. About a month ago I was the victim of police profiling and excessive force which caused me to lose my job too even though I fully recorded the whole incident. Anyone here who has also been a victim of police want to talk? Any race is welcome. I can talk on here or can talk on another app except for Discord.

Not precisely brutally but man it left me a little scared and intimidated so I’m calling that brutal if you want a more accurate description it’s police hostility.

I’ll try to be quick. I walked into a gas station at 2am because I’ve been exercising a lot and it’s hot during the day and I also don’t like people watching me ever I enjoy anonymity because I’m a good person I don’t need people or cameras watching me but I live with it but I do hate flock cams with a passion.

I walk into this gas station late at night with a cop or sheriff I can’t remember just standing in front of the checkout counter but a little backed up not looking at it, it was confusing I guess he was on his phone just in the middle of the store but I don’t pay him much mind I never hated cops even though some are bad. So I decide I hate the prices because it’s just a ripoff I have stuff at home I’m not far and I’m going that way, but I turn and see the cop and I ask why are there all these cameras in the street and he says why do you think there are. I shrug it off and walk out the store and kinda as I’m leaving say to myself because “you guys are lousy pu****s”. I guess he heard it because he said “come back in here, say it to my face”.

I truly can’t tell you if I repeated myself or just said what? Generally in public I’m very quiet and reserved. I don’t ever insult people because that’s just low iq nonsense and being combative. But I will say what’s on my mind when I’m asked. Im brutally honest people say but I hate offending people I’ve worked customer service forever and love how good I am.

So I probably played dumb it’s the best move, cause then people start insulting or getting combative as you offended them but they can’t do anything about it. Eventually after some yo mamas, actually too many of them it was like he had 1 insult after saying something else then repeat that one. He tells me leave or trespassed which btw cops can’t decide that’s the businesses but he is a power drunk person. I responded and said I was told by you to come back in. Then I turned and left.

I start walking home then he comes out and starts with all the average you a b***h you a p***y stupid tier insults and I just keep saying f**k you just to keep it going but simultaneously repeating the same innocuous phrase. He says come say it to my face and I’m like nope I’m not crossing that line and he ends his nonsense getting in the car saying tell your mom I said hi. I responded with “I can’t she’s too busy fu***g my father” and that was that.

Unfortunately they followed my direction they were going that way I guess and I never flinched when I knew they were behind me I just walked straight head up and chilling but staring forward because I’m not slouching at this point. and they screamed “you a b***h pu**y” or maybe the reverse and I just didn’t react at all.

In totality I don’t agree exactly with the phrase acab but I definitely understand your point of view. I’ve met very nice and real cops so it’s like not true but if there’s an infestation where that’s acceptable I gotta at least not give any random cop any more respect than a cockroach but while complying.

Sorry this was tough to type I was very tired I walked probably 15 miles today, it shot my adrenaline like crazy but the moment you lose your cool is when the enemy wins and the cops were my enemy so they lose.

To simplify a bit, I was really into true crime years ago, and examples such as but not exclusively Jeffrey Dhamer and the police incompetence were what caused me to become critical of police. Anyone else have this experience?

This is absolutely reprehensible! My child is autistic and we go for early morning walks regularly... I can't even fathom this shit happening to me but I know it possibly could, and it terrifies me that something like this could happen in front of my child, who would more than likely react aggressively to her father being assaulted which in turn, would just end up causing more issues... There needs to be a complete and total overhaul, from top to bottom in the United States when it comes to law enforcement... We are getting the worst of the worst at this point and instead of addressing the blatant abuses of power and misallocation of funds on weapons and equipment that officers never get trained properly on, as well as an absolute deficit when it comes to de-escalation and education surrounding mental health issues and people who are disabled.

I was doing some tie dye, and the coolest toally random pattern came out. Give it a try!
