I never have been stopped by police in the US because I was white. - TopicsExpress



          

I never have been stopped by police in the US because I was white. I have been pulled over in Latin America by corrupt cops (in Mexico City and Lima) because I was. I even had a drunk cop in Mexico threatened me with a gun to the head in the 1970´s because I was a gringo. So, on one hand, I can understand the angry response in Ferguson (to a much, much more limited degree as we Polish have been the butt of jokes but not serious discrimination). But the victim was not Mother Teresa (and even Mother Teresa was no Mother Teresa). I did not let the random acts of police hooliganism I experienced affect my view of the two nationalities in the least. I hope that the two races involved in Ferguson see it the same way.
