Quote - Wow I thought she was being kidnapped. I was disappointed, but not shocked to hear other people...including men were around and did nothing to help. People usually watch and never intervene. It's the thing to "Mind your business" now-a-days. I was FLOORED when that THUG replied he was the police. I hate them. They're pigs. (No offense to police officers or family of police officers online). I just know they're thugs with badges. I see it all the time. Nothing will be done. They get to harass and beat the people they swore to serve and protect...all on our dime.
They weren't police. They were store security being paid by Safeway. However, if I ever saw a police officer treating someone like security guard was treating her, I would have done the very same thing, even if it lead to me being arrested for intervening and preventing an overzealous, ego maniac from abusing their "power".
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
