Too Cowardly to be an Anarchist
So, much to my annoyance, I was pulled over by the police for a stop sign violation the other day.
I have mild resentment for the police. I guess it goes back to when I was a little kid, when the police would once in a while look for one of my cousins. I remember playing in the front yard when the squad car came up menacingly. Do you know so-and-so? I didn't know anything and still don't but it's not like I would give anything up. Mostly paranoia but I grew up in pretty much an all white community, and I swear that my dad was profiled when he would get ridiculous traffic tickets.
And to this day I am still bothered by when I got a speeding ticket on I4 for going 83 mph when the road was completely empty. People go that speed at when the road is busy. My aunt and cousins came to Florida and wanted to visit Disney and I drove us back home around 1am or so. The guy so easily could have given me a warning. I didn't have any prior citations. He knew we were coming back from Disney. What a way to ruin a family trip.
And if it is so reckless for me to go 83mph on I4, how is it possibly safe for him, from a complete stop, engine off and facing the opposite direction to catch up to me to pull me over?
Okay, done ranting. Everyone will now know about my die-hard-left-wing-communist-liberal-anarchist views now.
As the cop that pulled me over the other day chastised, "Let this be a learning lesson."
