I was born in Marin General Hospital. I grew up in Marin. I didn't get away for very long any of the many times I tried until the last fifteen years. I know every inch of the place. Watched this world-famous civic center being built. I watched the old courthouse in downtown San Rafael burning down from bankster arsonists who wanted that prime city block. I lived there when every cop in the county hated one officious twit cop in San Anselmo who was endlessly trying to throw his weight around. The cops were always helpful and respectful and never ordered you around. NEVER came in to escalate anything, even for real criminals. They did their jobs. The worst that ever happened in front of me was when they came to nab a really tall perp and picked the wrong really tall man to nail. The perp was laughing as he sauntered down the street and the cops were all quaking over Randy's size and jumped him in unison to keep him from getting away. They made a big show, hauled him off to the Blue Roof Inn and gave him back to me a few hours later, with apologies. I saw a really mean dyke jail keeper talking scary to a drunk woman while I was there.
Times have changed. And someone should taser the hairdo at the news desk, and a bunch of guys should go after every cop that pulls that shit, order him/her around with absolutely NO right, and then start tasing away for the power trip of it all, see how he/she likes it... then go tase their bosses for good measure. The jackasses swagger around like traffic stops are Miami Vice episodes, every citizen is a goddam murderating drug kingpin or terrorist. Scare the pee out of everyone with that twisted-sissy crap. Worsen everything. Packs of defenestrated castrati, cruising America for people to take it out on.
This isn't going to improve until we MAKE it improve. Groups should visit local cop shops and remind them of what is and isn't their place. Whenever the cops show up anywhere people should come out to make sure they don't maltreat their victims, and if they do, people should scream bloody murder, take them to court, demand their arrest, MAKE IT STOP... or sit back and wait for their own numbers to be up.

Goddamnit that's hard to watch, fucking pigs, So many of them are still playing cowboys and Indians. Their mommy,s are probably still laying out their uniform,s like a little man on the bed for them in the morning so they can figure out how to dress themselves.
ReplyDeleteWhat asshold San Anselmo cop you mentioned - you talking about Bernie Del Santo?
ReplyDeleteOliva, I think. Fat idiot, who walked around with his chest puffed out, who would wave his flashlight to move nonexistent traffic around a late night pileup on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. I can see him like it was yesterday, but I can't pin the name back on him. He was the ONLY one who ever tried to act like he was some towering authority figure, NO sense of humor, EVERYONE knew him and it was almost fun not to like him.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in my late twenties we began getting cops with problems handling authority. They seem like SAINTS now, don't they?
ReplyDeleteTruly. I had turned left off Butterfield Road onto Sir Francis Drake, inside half a block you can see clear down the boulevard almost to Red Hill Shopping Center. I was the ONLY car on the road beside the fender bender in my lane, just beyond the old Drake High theater building, and the twit was clear down there waving his flashlight to move me around the problem. That's more than a quarter mile. He had flares all over the fucking place, the cherry twirling atop his car, and, I shit you not, I could see him out there waving his flashlight at NO traffic from that far off. Maybe there were ghost automobiles he was needing to herd, or that big problem with blind people joyriding at night. Insufferable dweeb, who talked like a far worse jackass than Barney Fife. I can't believe I don't have his whole name tripping right up off my tongue.
ReplyDeleteI'll sit bolt upright 30 seconds after falling asleep and yell his name.
Okay, great, you can have the Molly's if you take the cops.
