The kids dog was no poodle. The crazy cop was lucky that the kid's Doberman behaved...

But you are obviously off your rocker if you think a kid is going to be carrying around his high school ID when walking a dog in our neighborhood. I wasn't carrying mine. By the way the cop was not uniformed. He was off duty! And he didn't identify himself until I confronted him -- after I got om cell with the local police. When I walked up I had no clue who the clown who was harassing the kid was, but I was sure not going to stand by while he questioned "WTF" my neighbor was doing outside walkin the dog. The situation ended with me handing the phone to the cop, and him being told to walk away with an apology. Which he eventually did. I was asked if I wanted to file a complaint. I decided to drop it the next day after I was told that the guy's supervisor had called the kid's parent. Yeah it was ugly. And it could have been worse, but it wasn't.

So, if you think there aren't any cops with a chip on their shoulder you really don't know much. At all. Fortunately most cops are honest and do care. It's the guys who are on power trips that should be taken off the force.
The cop is lucky? Are you serious if that Doberman would have made a move the only thing going through that dog's mind would have been a slug. So that is your basis for what you call systemic police "racism" in this country - a 14 year old with no ID being questioned is tantamount to harassment. This is your example? Apparently it wasn't that bad as you yourself said you decided not to file a complaint. You'd never make it here if that's your threshold. Colin Kapersnake is taking a knee reading this because he's laughing his ass off.

It's guys like you that are enablers who tell these kids that everything that happens to them is because of their race and THAT is the real problem. They grow up and when confronted by failure in life instead of teaching them to persevere and learn from their mistakes you teach them to blame someone else and take no responsibility for their actions. You can't help but see race in everything and are really the true racists. You complain about Giuliani using death as a political issue while you are using this non incident as political and social issue and an indictment on cops. Only ventriloquists can talk out of both sides of their mouth.
