> I'm not sure what to make of your anecdotes

3rd world. It would be pointless to divulge more because: people would have a hard time believing it, it would detract from what happened to Sandra and it's quite off-topic. The core of the point is that there are good cops and bad cops.

> I was harassed multiple times by police for violating curfew.

There's a line. Harassment/your experience is firmly on the wrong side of the line. Being kindly escorted home during a lawful curfew is not the wrong side of the line. I'd happily oblige to the later: the cop is just doing his job.

What I'm really trying to say is: the American police force seems so have a bunch of bad apples, however, you really don't want to tie the hands of the good apples.




I don't know why you can't just say that you are from South Africa.
