I rode up on a cruiser here in Irvine the other night on my bike, on the way to the old El Toro Marine base.   I use a dead end road as a shortcut, and cut across an empty lot, to avoid a pretty dangerous stretch of road.   I saw a bright spottlight at the end, figured it was a resident or construction worker.   Nope, two officers jumping out of their cruiser with guns drawn on me.   I'm a little white kid on a bike, but apparently they're pretty spooked around here.   After they ran my info we talked a bit, they're on edge lately not knowing what to expect.   Everyone hates their actions lately, but it's not their fault.   Maybe without all these F-ups running around ruining this country, we wouldn't need a police state.   Don't blame the effects, blame the causes.
