My point is not that the punk bellybutton kids who want to be bangers should be handled like boy scouts, it is that everyone has the potential to be dangerous.

Everyone regardless of what they wear, drive, or listen to should be approached with equal courtesy and respect using gaurded caution until they prove to you by action or body language that they are "good" or "bad" guys.


LOL!

Whelp, hope you recognize that Frenchy, being a civilian and not having a piece at the small of his back, one in a shoulder rig and a throw-away in an ankle strap has to make judgement calls from a different perspective.

And, knowing that when he eyeballs a 'gangbanger' mufuti clad street urchin he's gotta assume that form follows function and come to some (for you) 'hasty' decisons about threat levels, surroundings and response.

And, he'd be right to assume the worst, and react accordingly... keep himself and his family away from street trash.

In fact, even if he did have all the armament you pack, he'd still be correct in my humble opinion to assume the worst; though I'd consider that to be 'Bernie Goetz' behavior to be hangin around trouble and as such puts him on the same level as the gangbanger.

to buy a pig in a poke literally means 'to buy something which you cannot see' and thus 'to buy something whose true nature is unknown'.

aye, I admit sometimes it is hard to look past the end of your own nose.

It's hard for me to take people grouping other people based on surface apperance.  

I spent my first 5 years near the mexican border, things can get real western real quick down there.  Several times I was one on one in the ditch with someone I was trying to arrest.  

I can remember laying on one in particular that was a pretty even fight, I looked up and saw two eses walking up.  I thought I was ****ed in a big way and was going to have to start shooting.  

Long story short they helped me get the guy in handcuffs.

By first impression it was all bad, but in this instance over-reacting could have caused someone thier life.

I encourage Frenchy to continue using his common sense.   I'm sure he is fully capable of sizing up an individual.

concho...  I am not bald so do not do the shaved head thing..

I have tattoos and they are exactly what they appear to be.   They tell people exactly who I was... not am...was.   All the guys I knew with the same kind of tattoos were criminals just like me.  

We could be extremely nice and polite to people when we thought it was to our benifiet.

Someone here hit it right.   When I dressed the part and my tattoos were new many years ago....  I was (gasp) discriminated against.... I was stereotyped and discriminated against... and ya know what...

They were right.

Cop, criminal.... lots of similarities but both sides are left out of the others world even tho they touch.  Being a cop doesn't make a person understand criminals any more than being a criminal makes you understand cops except maybe in some small ways.

It's not just cops who understand criminals.... sometimes it is criminals who understand criminals too.
