Absolutely. It happens ALL the time. Sadly, it starts in childhood and the experience of most cops in Jr. and High school, adds if not totally forms the how and why of the why and who,,,,dig? As much as it happens (everyday, over and over) to black folks it also happens to white folk; usually (but not always) POOR folk. Besides protecting there's the "serve" part. But alas, if you're from a certain socio/politico background or a specific race (and it doesn't matter, MOST of the time, if the "law enforcement" officer is black too) you are going to be in a situation that if you DO NOT acquiesce TOTALLY in body, spirit, mind AND opinion, you are at the LEAST going to be intimidated into either ass kissing, silence and/or fear for your freedom if not personal safety and/or life. I do not opine. This is a fact, from not just "information" but personal experience over almost 50 years and over and over and over again. Until this evolution of socio/politico/ECONOMICAL change, brought upon us (finally) from the gross, felonious abuses of the Cheney/Bush neo-con regime and (gratefully) the election of President Obama is truly allowed to bloom, "change" as in how folks treat other folks sans the abuse of "power", we all, more so the ones mentioned above, will continue to suffer.
