What's the standard response to someone saying shit like "fuck you pig"? In uniform or not. "Fuck you too" I prefer, "Satan loves you!" It confuses them enough to allow you to drive off before they get pissed. They are a special kind of sun fried stupid here in SW Florida. |

Quoted: Also - I am personally very tired of the whole "Black staredown" thing lately. It's happening more and more. I stare back now - and watch. No I'm not intimidated, but my threat meter goes up considerably. Ive about had it with this shit lately. I live in a very rural area, but work in a heavy black population city. The attitude has gotten considerably more aggressive over the last 6 months. View Quote |

Fuck me indeed. I held eye contact with some urban youths that were eyeing me down at a gas station I frequent. I guess I look too much like a cop. People suspect I'm mil or LE every so often and I never thought much of it before, but this time it made me a bit uneasy. Careful guys, your polos and cargo pants might make you look like a cop. And that may not be a good thing at this current time. And LE, watch your backs out there. Even out of uniform. View Quote Yes my good chum I suffer from the same predicament. I prefer a neat trim faded to the top with a short crown held down with copious amounts of gel. When I enter military establishments for work related reasons I am often asked if I am prior service. I politely explain that I simply wish to not appear as a homeless person. Cheerio |

Due to the way I carry myself and haircut people have assumed I was police or mil. Of course I am not. Was mistaken for a narc officer due to my tattos. I also have scars on my face along with asphalt imbeded in my skin which get mistaken for teardrop tattoo under my eye or dirt. I where khakis and boots occasionally with a polo but I have worn that stuff since high school. I am a people watcher anyway so I always "keep an eye out". To many stupid people out there and I don't want to get caught up in their shit.

I open carry, usually a Glock. I've had several people assume I was a cop, and a few react aggresively under that assumption.
I've not had any real issues with it, but I laugh when they say that. Not an awkward laugh, but an actual, honest laugh. I'm the farthest thing possible from a cop. |

Not a cop and I wear the typical SC uniform (SC guys will know what I'm talking about) but I keep my hair short (balding) and I walk upright and make eye contact and I've been in EMS for over twenty years. My favorite line that I've used has been "Do you have a minute for me to share the words of the prophet Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon with you?" So far nobody has wanted to stick around. FWIW, I"m agnostic and would be pretty lost if someone ever did want to talk about the LDS church.

View Quote Typically I say " Thanks, Jesus loves you" and go on about my day.

I've never had that happen. Probably just tell them to Fuck off if I did. Not a LEO BTW.

Quoted: All an act because deep down inside some folks know they are really pussies and try to intimidate their way out of a real fight. https://youtu.be/7TneuFkRato Long story as short as I can make it.... about 15 years ago I was at my cousin's wedding. We (my younger brother and I) were staying the hotel where the wedding reception was. We were drunk the whole time and he got into with a couple of guys- name calling and a little shoving. It's broken up and we go on with our night and pretty much forget about it all. He hits the room before me and goes to sleep. When I finally decide I'm ready to crash, I head to the room. I'm in the elevator going up to our floor. The elevator door is closing and someone hits the call button and the doors open again. I look up and see two of the guys we were beefing with when we got to the hotel. I was alone against two guys. I had an oh shit moment and decided I had two choices. 1) try to play nice and see how that goes or 2) start talking shit. I choose option 2. I started yelling at them both, told them to get the fuck in the elevator and as soon as the doors closed I was going to fuck both of them up. I knew I couldn't beat both of them, wasn't even sure I could have beat 1 as drunk as I was. They both stood there confused as hell. I kept yelling and daring them to step in the elevator. The doors closed and the elevator started moving. I hit my floor and ran to my room. Dodged a bullet that night.

I almost had an incident last night at Wal-mart because of this reason.
I have had several friends tell me I look like a cop because of my height, size, build and short hair. I also look people in the eye and look around (situational awareness) Living in some bad areas growing up I know to make sure I know who and what is around me at all times so I scan as I’m out and if I see someone or body language that catches my attention I stare a bit. Last night I needed a couple things and decided to stop by Wal-mart before heading home. I was wearing a black T-shirt with a white outline of GA with some writing inside it. The back is big and the front has the GA outline small on the left chest side. Whenever I wear this shirt I get looks and people look away quick when I turn to look at them. It looks very much like a GA cop type shirt. As I’m walking in there are two big black guys and a fairly large black woman...I’m watching them while walking toward the entrance. They are walking slow and I get in front of them. As I walked past them I heard the biggest black guy say (loudly) "sheeeeit I thought he was a cop (laughter). I was about to bust his nuts up son". Things are getting very real out here. I hope everyone takes these BLM threats and tone serious and is carrying at all times. |

Went around me in traffic, then got in front of me at a light. Light turns green and he just sits there. Talking like 10-15 seconds, other cars were pulling out from behind me and going around him. When I finally honked at him, he hung half his body out of the car to flip me off. Almost like he decided at random that he was going to fuck with me until I "disrespected" him, then he was gonna start shit. It was then he noticed the cop car in oncoming traffic and decided to drive away. |

People all the time think I am a cop all the time.
I have a goat and short hair wear normal non tactical clothes. Really weird. When I started working at Amtrak, where most employees are black, they all thought I was some sort of special forces Rambo or something. Really weird as I am super laid back guy not dressing or pretending to be anything. |
