Cops are retarded

They think just because they have a badge that they are the almighty rulers of the city. I don't just say that because most people I know say it. I say it due to my experiences in dealing with them. Like last night which was my most recent run in wiht them. I was sitting on the corner of Boradway and Osbourne (on the corner that most flaggers / squeegeers call big island) flagging when a cop car pulled up to me. The moment he put the window down he told me to 'get the fuck up and leave the corner'. He never thought ot use manners and just ask politely. I was treated as though I wasn't even a human being. I grabbed my backpack and was waiting for the light to turn so I could cross and he began to yell and threaten me about giving me a fine and beating me for being beligerant because I hadn't left yet. I told him I was waiting for the light. I left as soon as the light changed and went over to 'squeegee corner' of Broadway and Osbourne where my boyfriend was squeegeeing. I sat there with him for about maybe 15 minutes before the same cops pulled up right on the sidewalk in front of us. The driver (same cop that hassled me on the other corner) got out of the car and told my boyfriend to give up his squeegee and leave, so he did. Then the cop was standing right in front of me telling me to leave also. I told him fine but please step back out of my face so I can leave. He slapped me in the face with his glove. I thought he broke my nose at first he hit me so hard. He then backed up but stood exactly where he knew I was going to walk as my boyfriend had just gone in that direction. I told him (the cop) to get out of my way. By this time I was mad, obviously. There happened to be a couple guys taping up posters for some event that were walking by. The cop was about to hit me again when his partner said something from the car about witnesses and so he backed off and let me walk away. The cops have to be in my opinion the biggest gang there is. They push people around, treat them like shit and think that they are way better than anyone and the worst part is, NO ONE has enough balls to stand up for their rights against them or else they just don't know their rights. It's a sad thing.
