| I can understand how some might be offended or at least pretend to be because they don't like you for whatever reason. Just in case though, I wanna give a little advice even if it's not warranted 5.56.
That's pretty tough 5.56. I am sure you know as everyone else does, their is good and bad in every race. Usually the black folks in interrogation rooms, tv and real life, if they are hard to understand it is more because they don't feel like cooperating more so than their lack of intelligence per se.
However, I do understand your issue, as a police officer, you see plenty of ugly and it is extremely difficult for that to not tarnish the rest of your perspective on life. I found it wise to tell myself that this is only a small percentage of these folks that are like this. One of the things we must do is to remember that people are basically good even if your just not seeing it. Difficult? Of course. If your finding it impossible to be open minded, counseling helps. I don't mean that sarcastically either.
On the other hand as well, some folks who don't understand will come at you hostile as we have seen. Even if they do understand they may still be hostile because they can with a computer in front of their face.
Don't let the job destroy your soul 5.56. Your a good man. Their are good people out there, of all races, colors and creeds.
That's true too Redneck. Folks like General Poweell are called Uncle Tom's and such by the lower class black folk.
