I suppose that makes me a target. I should have a buzz cut like all the cops if I don't want trouble, huh? I'm just not conforming hard enought to avoid police harrassment, am I? 53729@blogcritics.org Sun, 28 Mar 2004 04:24:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/27/024357.php#comment-53720 Police are like anyone else: Some are scum, and the majority are decent people looking to do their job well.
