Im not black, but about 12 years ago, i was driving with a black friend of mine. A well built guy. We got pulled over in Redondo Beach at 1am (cops there are well known racists). My black friend tried to explain himself as we got surrounded by 2 squad cars and 4 cops, he was getting yelled at and we both got pulled out of the car, thrown on the ground. He got roughed up and cuffed before he could get his sentence out. He was getting screamed at and told that if he talks he will be beaten and shot. Was very disturbing. Then his gun got found in the car, then they found his sharifs badge in his wallet next to his gun.
The explanation we got was that my friend matched the description of a robbery suspect and they were very sorry for the dirty shirts and inconvenience. I was pissed, my friend was cool about it and let it go.
Im not black, but it would suck to get that because im black. And it happens more than white people think in certain areas.

Yeah well that's the whole thing - like I say you want to killl the wolf but you harass all the dogs around
Hate harassment
The police over here - they're professional and don't harass anybody, you are polite with them and they're polite with you, not that they're gonna hi jack you in the middle of the night and give you shit, they're polite and strictly to the point, according to every single experience I had with them, every ex pat over here agrees with me too.
