Man, that sucks so bad! I live in a 'small' town where the cops are the most useless twits in the county, possibly the state. I've witnessed a lot of shit over the years and the last chief was arrested for embezzleing money from the burough. Heroin use is outrageous in this town yet no arrests for it , only marijuana. I have seen the way they trash houses when they think they have a 'big' bust. 3 z's and they think they're SWAT or something. Try to stand up for yourself and you will be violently shoved into the back of a squad car. Most people around here believe the heroin dealers have the entire dept, in their pocket. I know I am supposed to be mature enough to maintain my composure around the 'authorities, but I have an extremely hard time keeping my mouth shut around the assholes they have here. The abuse of their authority is so blatant and outrageous and no one seems to be able to do a damn thing about it. Several years back there was a business man n the area who was insensed by the heroin epidemic in our town and he was organizing the people who wanted to see some changes in the situation. He had a sign on his lot that read, Welcome to Ephrata, home of horseshit and heroin. The man was run out of town by the Authorities. We live in an area full of Amish people and they still use horse and buggies for transportation, for real! Thats where the horseshit comes from, just some backgreound FIY. There is a large population of Mennonites, a less strict sect of Amish and they rule around here. We call it the Mennonite Mafia. They control large amounts of cash in the community through suffocating the area with their businesses. They run the townships, and boroughs throughout the county and so impose their will on the entire area. This trickles down right to the cop shop and the corruption and abuses committed throughout.
I know there are innumerable towns across the country with the same shit, but it feels good to vent about the pricks. Good for you for standing up for you and your friend, unfortunately, they love to try to use 'insubbordination to a police officer' and get away with it too often. I hope it all works out for you.
