It’s fine to call the cops if you’re white
I fucking hate American police. ACAB
No its not, I was down in Florida on the gulf side, my hotel was right beside a 3 mile bridge cops cut off access to my hotel because of Cynco de mayo (sorry for my butchering) my GF at the time drove around a cop car to get into the hotel, had our room key in my hands to show the officer, told us to keep driving or he was going to arrest for pulling an illegal manuver. Went about 100 yards past em back towards town I got out and walked over to explain we were just getting back from dinner. Cop instantly grabbed his cuffs and had his hand on the gun. Luckily others had complained and hotel staff came out to calm down the cops.
Fuck American cops
You didn’t get shot. That’s my point
Yeah no white people have ever been murdered by cops
