When mass deportations started under Hoover it was common that American citizens were swept up and sent to the Southern border of Mexico. Many of them were children who would only learn late in life that they were US citizens. This continued through Eisenhower’s presidency.
Yeah I’m a white dude and back when I had long hair and didn’t understand civil rights I got illegally detained dozens of times. Profiling is real, and obviously POC understand this. But also, police have no respect for the constitution or actual rule of law and civil rights. Most of my worst experiences were from police forces in cities mostly ran by authoritarian neolibs.
My few experiences with city cops have all been negative. Felt like they were baiting for a confrontation. I don’t really like any cops, but city cops are the worse.
The lowest paid, the quickest hired, usually not from the community, and not used to people being armed and giving resistance since cities tend to have stricter gun laws. Exercise your 2a.
