I've been writing, Nationally, about bad cops for 10 years. I've frequently used BPD as an example of the way a police force should be. This incident doesn't change my opinion of BPD, which is high, but it is what it is. True story. I was walking to work around 4:30am and a BPD cruiser pulled up behind me and hit me with the spot light. I had my hands in my coat pockets because it was winter and cold and the officer questioned me from 20 ft away. The officer was visibly nervous because of my appearance and when he told me I match the description of a burglary suspect in the area I slowly extended my hands, turned to face him, and spouted off the names of some officers that he could call to confirm that I was who I said I was. He relaxed. That was a great cop. You, Ted, might have shot me.
