I once was (justifiably) stopped for public urination. Now i fully cooperated with the officer and was completely respectful BUT I'm a fairly big guy, like Gardner, and the police officer that caught me was fairly little, small enough that I could've picked him up by his neck and thrown him over a fence.
So he (justifiably) calls for back up but instead of 2 guys in 1 car showing up, over 12 officers showed up with a police van as if they were arresting a mob. After being searched twice and questioned for over an hour by over dozen a dozen members of the nypd I eventually was let go with $30 ticket. This is just one story, my story, but I could go on for hours telling all the horror stories I've heard about NYC police from my friends and neighbors.
Most people.in poor neighborhoods , because of this, teach their kids that the police are not your friends, they are the enemy
Bottom line NYC police are the most abusive and corrupt in the USA
Congratulations for coming out of that alive, moss.
