I have been harassed in the town where I was born and raised for being gay. A California liberal town, so called. The officers of heterosexual law used vile language, called us names, and suggested we go to a nearby town known for, in their words 'perverts'.
I have been threatened with arrest many times for speaking up against abuses against others. One cop called me 'Hot Shot' for about 6 years on the streets of my neighborhood, because I had stopped him from doing an unbelievably illegal search of a random pedestrian. And a few other things. Testified about what his partner said to an innocent bystander who had been shot by the cops as they killed a drunk prostitute for shouting. Several officers shot in several directions. They hit two bystanders, whom they told to 'stop whining, sit down, we will get to you when we can'. This poor young woman saying to that,yes, pig-"but officer, I've been shot!" and he said "I told you to shut up." It was in fact that officer who shot that girl. He shot her and said 'shut up with your whining.'
I have seen heroic actions by the police as well. But there is no profession that comes close to the police in terms of the horrors I have witnessed out of the group, with my own eyes and ears. I do not trust a one of them, and all of it is based on first hand knowledge.
