1. I’d rather they be at the donut shop. 2. They weren’t there to intimidate me, I don’t think. They just have no good reason to be standing there watching a building where nothing is happening. Being in the same place for over an hour is not a patrol, particularly when the actions and intents of the place in question are strictly peaceful. I also don’t need or want their protection if nothing is happening. If somebody goes committing a crime there, then we will let the police know we want them to appear. Even in the astronomically unlikely event anything violent goes on, the perpetrator of the violence is going to catch these hands. 3. I don’t talk to cops unless they talk to me, or there is a crime I absolutely must report. 4. If the cops do talk to me, I am polite and cooperative. It doesn’t mean I have to like the fact that they’re talking to me. How do you know the demographics of the group without ever being there? Mostly older folks, if you must know. 5. Oh, so if I go to where all the white people are, then I’ll be of no concern. Imagine that. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

Actually it is a patrol. Lots of people coming and going. They were practicing good police work.
Why do you have a problem with saying "nice morning officer, isn't it?" I would not say I talk to them a ton, but I do. One courthouse they would have the drug dog, Bullet, half off leash. He came by me a tad faster than the cop could catch him, cop apologized almost like we were in a park walking dogs. Told the cop no worries I love dogs. Then I asked a bit about the dog. A couple of the female cops there were nice looking, but would be too young for me so just usually said hello and normal politeness. One courthouse some civilians were looking for something and the mountie there saw me and said, "let this guy through." I was carrying a load, but it was cool, like a gangsgter getting his table first at the copa. Why did he do it? Because I was a recognized regular. Usually in Wheeling they let us walk around the metal detectors for the same reason. All just good police work.
You would fit the profile of a hunter of fisherman so yes, you will be of far less concern. Would you rather they should hassle you there? The President is a fink. |

If they approach me, that’s one thing, but I’m not going to go out of my way to arouse suspicion by engaging in pleasantries. I’d rather the cops not hassle anyone anywhere unless they are called for. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

?????? The state police that arrested the dark skinned CNN reporter committed a racist act. They left the white reporter alone. If this took place in Key West, the action is still racist Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It was bad enough that a protester was shot and killed by a police officer.
You're confusing Charlotte with Charlottesville (2018). 3 dead. |

Are you confusing being polite with being a snitch? I am not talking about seeking them out. I am talking about simply being polite. Being evasive will attract more attention. Anyone I have met that said they were "hassled" by cops usually were not the best people or just had a huge chip on their shoulder. The President is a fink. |

Mission146 Administrator Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 4147 | I’m not evasive, I just completely ignore them unless I’m given no choice but to engage with them. IOW, don’t speak unless spoken to. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

LOL Racist employees exist in liberal states. Sprinkled in the north, dominates in the South Did you watch Grant I was shocked and stunned by all the massacres in the South against Blacks after the civil war. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
