Yesterday I watched the first Rambo movie and it struck me about something in the movie. Guys my age (In your 50's or older) will remember how going threw any small town you minded your P&Q's and you did your best to go around any of these small towns. They were traps for sure! If the cops didn't know your car or truck you were going to get pulled of for something no matter what and get a ticket. You know like going 36 in a 35 or your muffler is to loud or your back bumper is to high. Of course it wouldn't be or you didn't speed the muffler was new but you had to go to mayors court witch was once a week. Most of the time the judge (mayor) would say charge dismissed pay the court cost, Well the court costs were $75 in the late 70's and early 80's and if you made $2.25 an hour for a weeks work that was your whole check! And the town was raking in the money! It would not be 1 or 2 people there but more like 40 or 50 people waiting there turn.
And like in the movie these cops acted just like the cops in the movies with the "We don't want your kind in our town" crap. I made the mistake of asking what kind is that? Witch got me a night stick up side the head! Lucky for me a State Patrolmen seen this happen and stopped to see what was going on. He asked the town cop what the deal was, He answered that I was moving towards him in a threating manner and he was protecting himself from a bum vagrant. Bum Vagrant my A$$! I just got off work and stopped to get something to eat at the dinner. Well things went south from there. It ended up with the Chief of Police the Mayor and all 5 of the police officers of the town and fire dept and EMS along with 5 more State Patrol officers. IT GOT UGLY! In the end I went to the hospital for some stiches and get checked out (and went home), The officer who hit me and the chief (he got real aggressive with the state boys) got arrested by the State boys for abuse of power and assault and excessive force. This incident caused a big uproar and investigation into the town by the state and everything changed in the town! New Mayor and the whole police dept!
I'm sure this kind of thing still goes on but nothing like it use to be and I don't think cops now would dream of doing this now because of everyone having cameras these days and as sew happy as people are. Today you dive into any town and you see bums and vagrants and homeless every ware and they don't seam to do anything about it. OH how times have changed from then to now.
You guys know what I'm talking about there were towns you just flat stayed away from back in those days when you were young and dumb driving around back in the good old days. Bandit
