No really,I do suppose the blacks have faced this for years(it's what's current in the news is why I quoted it),,that aside though this thread doesn't mention different races in it. It as long as it was someone else faced with fear in the presence of these same policemen was/is one thing.
I am a,,,hmmm Iberian,Spaniard,German,Jewish,dutch? The t.v. is an odd thing,it's easy to prop our feet up on the coffee table and go "oh those poor people" and then change the channel. Today though not only are those who we saw on t.v. afraid to do this or that when they answer the knock and it's the police,we also are, the fearful part is that we cannot change the channel to a station where it is them in stead of us,we cry in the night instead of the morning.
The eight amendment states in each case that nothing excessive might be imposed upon you,and if then innocent no penalty is constitutional. Who is opening the door then is the key if guilty,they cannot plead the eight,and I suggest the fifth,,and a phone call,,,
