racial discrimination - counter conspiracy

this blog entry made me think.
so i came up with one of my own...
matt kirshen's blog

..but read his entry first...it'll make you think too.

ok, here goes my story.
my sweety had trouble with the light on our car - he couldn't dimm it.
he was on his way to pick me up.
and would you've guessed it? - got stopped by the police.
a casual dressed black african driving down a lane in a rather posh area in a 5series BMW.
ok, it was dark and anyone keeping on flashing the light on and off would've been stopped - i guess?!
anyway, he - as usual - polite and nicely answering all 'procedural' questions.
as they gotta do their job according to rules and regulations, policies, you see.
but 45 min. of questioning?
checking everything possible on the car.
ok, fact was that there were reports of cars being stolen, so the level of caution was higher then at the other time - when i encountered the most nice officer when i ran out of petrol.
that time he never asked me anything - apart from what 'BMW' stands for, additional to that i must add - i was a very innocent looking white german born woman in my 20's. so anything i said was taken for granted, so where was the policy there? no regulations?
so are procedures more like a suggestion? how one could handle the situation?
what if i had stolen the car?
my hubby explained everything, but they wouldn't take it.
i was worried waiting, so i started walking towards him and saw what kept him.
as soon as i arrived, and confirmed his story, they quickly eased up on him.
policy?
is that instituional discrimination?
a conspiracy to be hard on ethnic minorities? to fuel aggression and ensure the need for
security, policies and regulations as excuses to discriminate?
and why is there more police presence in so called 'posh' or 'save' areas?
and where they would actually do their job and be worth their money, it is mayhem.
and crime is mostly concentrated in areas with little or no police presence.
how about this:
lets all be nice and polite to officers.
see what happens?
i bet, they'll go mental - fear of job loss?
or have a fab time down at the doughnut shop ;)
its good to keep the streets save.
but who gave them the right to apply their policies as they feel? might that be another policy?
have a nice day, and be nice to each other. cop or no cop.
