I find it goes better for me this way rather than oozing contempt or defiance for having been stopped by the mistaken cop in the first place.

Someone running back inside a building that he just came out of during lunch break isn't "oozing contempt or defiance". You know that, don't you? Your response is typical white men need have no fear type of bunk. I'm not meek, I show respect, but not everyone is me, and I don't think because they aren't me that I get to condemn their actions, maybe advise them, but who among us hasn't had the wrong instant reactions in situations?

Remember, these guys are allowed to pick you up right now based on your looks, and if nothing else cost you some earning days while you learn the ways of jail.

These guys need training and to be lead by better leaders than we have right now. We should want to make them very good at what they do, and teach them how NOT to injure people. The truth is this admin doesn't care if you're a citizen if you don't look like us, until they run up against the 48 hour limit (or whatever it is now). But I seriously do mind ripping apart families and hurting people. I'd rather have a hundred illegals be kept on the streets than to find a few American citizens hauled off in one of these sweeps.
