4. I got harassed by several cops in Colorado Springs, even after I "proved my innocence."

Colorado Springs cops are true fascist thugs. The school zones are 15 mph. They sit in them like spiders in webs and give tickets for people doing 16.

I was sitting in my car waiting for the IRS office to open after their lunch break. The office is in a huge football field sized parking lot. There's a motel there. Someone at the motel called the cops and said I was dealing drugs. I was not. I was eating a sandwich I'd bought at Safeway waiting for the IRS to come off of lunch break.

THREE COP CARS surrounded me and locked me in. They ran my plates and ID and everything came up 100% clean. I showed them my IRS paperwork and went to the office. WHEN I CAME BACK, they STILL were sitting there, blocking me in. I had to back in and out about a half a dozen times to be able to drive off.

You will NEVER SEE A POST FROM ME praising Colorado Springs Cops. They are the reason why so many people dislike and distrust cops.

FULL DISCLOSURE...my DAD was a cop and MOST OF THE ADULTS I knew as a kid were ALSO cops, so for me to have a negative view of law enforcement, it's a big deal. But these Colorado dudes were true brown shirts.
