I'm going to hazard a guess here: a lot of you on this forum have negative opinions regarding the police. And I certainly wouldn't blame you for it because I read a lot of negative stories about police/psychonaut altercations. I'm blown away by some of the injustices bestowed upon people's lives by the very people who are employed to withhold justice.
I want to start the thread in a breath-of-fresh-air kind of way. I have never had what I would call a negative experience with the police in my land. I've never been harassed, beaten, had my possessions stolen from me or even been man-handled or verbally abused by the police. I can't say the same for other people I know. It is a common occurrence to have people reminisce to me about the time police smashed their shit up, stole their blood or pulled their car to pieces. I'm not a very threatening looking person so I guess that helps. But I still know people who are also none-threatening but do have those bad experiences. By the way I'm not saying that I should be having negative police experiences, because I do nothing illegal (I should mention that I do not believe in giving merit to oppressive laws such as those that incriminate etheogen users). But the people who are often harassed the most seem to nearly always be innocent. Just bad luck perhaps?
I usually get to deal with the cop who's just making sure you're okay or that you are not going to be a menace to society. Never the brutes I hear so many stories about.
What about you guys? Positive or negative experiences? Any particularly memorable occasions? Or maybe you are a cop and you'd like to share with us some stories from your perspective?
Just interested to see what y'all have to share.
