fuck the police part 54745636...

Pulled over AGAIN for "being in the wrong neighborhood". Really?

I didn't ride in the carpool yesterday, but still took the same back way home through east LA due to the traffic on the 5. I was at a light across the street from him, and even though it was dark I could tell he was looking right at me. As I turned the corner he flipped a bitch (made a U turn), and started following me. I automatically went into Rodney King mode, so I turned into the first well lit area I could find, which happen to be an Autozone. I get out of my car, and he pulls up slowly and parks right behind my car. He then tells me to wait by my car, and asks me what I'm doing in east LA. I explain that I just got off of work in Santa Ana, and I was taking a short cut home (405 to the 710 to the 5, and the streets from there). Now did I really need to explain all of that to him? The obvious answer is no, but being black living in LA you have to do shit like that. He then walks towards me with his handcuffs, which he says is for my own safety as well as his. (Strange, I felt safe prior to him fucking with me.) He asks if I'm on probation, or if I have any warrants out for my arrest. (no, obviously) After running my information it comes back clean (duhhh) he un-cuffs me, and tells me to be on my way.

This is a WEEKLY occurrence for myself, and friends just because of the color of our skin. This is partly why I don't go out anymore. Having to worry wether or not I'm going to get pulled over for some bs can fuck your whole night up. When is this blatant racial profiling going to stop? Don't they know my president is black? Still waiting for the change...
