uptheante: So this happened in Montana. I'm on my way to a job interview this morning when I get pulled over by a Montana officer. I'm native American and my friend who was with me is black. Just saying. I'm having brake trouble and had just had them "fixed" and BOTH brake lights decided to go out this time. As the Officer walked to the car and I was pulling out my stuff, he quickly said, "Don't worry about pulling anything out, I just want you to know that your brake lights are out." So I'm immediately upset, and explained to him how Firestone wants to charge me $ 600 just to run a test on the wiring of the car. He looked at me like 😨 and told me to pop the trunk. He checked the lights in the trunk and tapped them, but they didn't come on. So he told me to pop the hood to check the relay box then asked me to get out to check the other one. Then worked on the wiring under the dash. He could've easily given me a ticket, but Officer Jenkins stepped out of officer role, and into mechanic role, and human role to make sure I was all good. By the way HE FIXED THEM. Not everyone is racist, or a bad cop.

Thank you for sharing, but dont reveal too much info. Don't need one of the best officers out your area targeted.

The majority are good people trying to do a very difficult job. Yes, hold the bad apples accountable, but stop painting with such a broad brush to color them as all or mostly bad.

What a wonderful story!

This is the America most people live in. Great story, thanks for sharing, and God bless.

Which police dept was this?
