In some parts of the US its just fine, but in other its not.
Sometimes it depends on other factors... Look at the city I am in right now, Omaha. If you appear to be white it is just about the safest city in the country. But if you have dark skin, run for your life.
- Mindless2112 10y agoSure, but even as a White person living in Omaha, the advice you get is "Don't go to north O[maha]. You're gonna get shot." (For those who don't know, north Omaha is predominately Black. Check it out on the Racial Dot Map [1].) [1] http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/ http://demographics.coopercenter.org/DotMap/
- icantdrive55 10y agoAs a white guy who lives in a the wealthy county of Marin; I can honestly state, you only call the police if in imminent danger, and even then good luck. I don't care if your wealthy, or poor, in my experience; they have always made a questionable situation worse. Qualifications: High school diploma, and a few weeks in an academy. And usually a chip on your shoulder? That chip sometimes grows, and sometimes mellows with experience. The profession needs federal oversight. It needs consistent training, and not paramilitary training. Way too many Cowboys, and Revenue collectors. Maybe a licensing system implemented? You can't cut hair without a licence?
