When are these white cops going to learn to stop harassing black people??

What’s that? The cop was black? Unpossible. I was told by Eugene Robinson if black cops dealt with black citizens everything would work out swimmingly.

This didn’t go well.

  1. I had a handicap placard when I needed it because of a problem that’s now been fixed (hurrah!). The spinal stenosis caused intermittent, repeat, intermittent weakness in my leg that happened with no warning. I used the handicap spaces because I never knew when walking more than a few feet would be nigh on impossible.

    By golly, I’m glad I didn’t have a run-in with that incredibly arrogant asshole cop. Any decent peace officer (but I repeat myself) would realize that the medical professional who authorized the placard knew a virtually infinite amount more about physical conditions where a placard makes sense than a cop who may not even have been to cop school, much (much!) less medical school.

    Cops with that kind of attitude just frost my ass no end (pun intended).

  2. This comment has nothing to do with this thread other than it involves a handicap parking slot.

    Many years ago, just after handicap parking started showing up around town, probably in the late 1980s, I was returning to my car outside my neighborhood Safeway in Bethesda, Md. A gorgeous white Caddy drop-top rolled into the crowded parking lot and into one of those primo crip slots right by the door. An equally gorgeous trophy wife blond babe hops out of the car and strides athletically towards the store.

    “Hey! What’s your handicap?” I yelled at her (I was younger and stupider then).

    She replied, “Seven!” and went into the grocery.

  3. 40 years ago there were US military walking around with a coffee mug in one hand and a gut bomb in the other.
    The leadership decided the military had no room for these walking heart attacks and made them lose it or lose the ride on the gravy train.
    It was a good idea, now they are importing gays and transexuals, it’s not going to end well.

    Fire the fat cop, he just doesn’t have the temperament to be a good officer of the law.
    Fellows, you’re there to enforce the law, not interpret it or diagnose a disability, umkay?
    Lay off the pork chops you jellyroll fat body.

  4. Geez, Bison, I’m glad you’re the expert . . . how about one of the reasons to get a handicap placard is that you have a cardiac condition that prevents you from walking 200 feet without stopping to rest? Or you use portable oxygen? Or many other reasons you don’t know about? How about just STFU!
