In Detroit where in some areas, you don't stop at a red light.. you drive right through it and keep going.

If you're white and driving a decent looking car the cops will just ignore you. At least that's what I was always told.

My wife is Arab, wears a headscarf. She stopped at a red light, cop car whips around to the side of her vehicle and told her that driving the vehicle she has will catch attention and get car jacked. They outright told her never to stop at that red light and the following three red lights on that road, day or night.

Did they offer her a gun if she didn't have one?

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 68 points 6 months ago

You don't get them for free here. You have to purchase the Big Mac meal to get the complimentary gun.

I got mine at the lost and found. Storage unit guy said that he has to get rid of them regularly or the box just fills up.

Lucky! I don't have one, so I just type 12345 on my dad's gun safe and borrow his 🤫

[-] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

12345? That's amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!

[-] benderbeerman@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Change the combination on my luggage!

Do you get them in a Happy Meal?

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

You only get an airsoft with the Happy Meal.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Damn, y'all having to pay for the whole meal to get one? You're getting ripped off.

Sincerely,

A drunk Texan

That's pretty fuckin wild, but I believe it. Have gotten lost off 75 around Detroit and all of the burnt down homes and block boys weren't too welcoming lol

Got stopped by cops walking back to the room while staying in Philly, walking from a music festival with a female friend in little more than a bikini. We were told not to continue walking our intended route, they made us chill and hire a ride..

I've lived in Philly for a while... it's crazy how most of center city is safe, but walk into the wrong neighborhood...

[-] StaySquared@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Bruh.. in California, Southern California (Inland Empire) and Northern California (the Bay), you could be walking through a wealthy neighborhood, one street over and it's the fkin hood and it legit looks like a fkin hood. I can't even wrap my head around it. At least in SE Michigan, you can see the gradual change from wealth to knocking on death's door. Or at least from my experience.
