I would like to share my story this all happened a few hours ago in Elmonte major street Gravey dated 4/2/18. I got pulled over by 6 cop cars all tactical formation had their semi automatics guns pointed at my vehicle. At that moment I felt the world for me has come to end scared coz any slit mistake I do put my hand down would be shot at. I did all they asked me to do handcuffed put me in the back of their cruiser. Reason they kept saying someone has been reported to have guns in the area so gave them go head to search my vehicle found NOTHING. They got me out their cruiser sat at the curb side told them reason why I was in that area to see my girlfriend. All in that at the moment alot is circling in my mind if nothing is found why can't they let me go, is it the car that I'm driving or what is an African American doing in this particular area. Here is what I don't understand at the curb side I was told stand face one of their vehicles with flash light "on their radio didn't match description who they were looking for coz they used a code." They put back in vehicle again to search in the data base if I had any pending arrest warrants. Nothing was was on my record for 25min stand off I believe the minute they sensed didn't have any wopeans they should have immidately let me go and go with their search.I respect police officers in what they do for communites after this whole incident I felt in certain type of way but it's the world we live in..

It all comes down to who got money. Our community is being demoted by this services who's more concerned on their personal interest. I've been robbed 5 times this year and my neighbors too. All they say is " we got bigger problems " . Now how do I deal with this, cops don't help and my neighborhood being a target for robbers. I'm not upset or angry but troubled. We got families here and we all pay taxes for what reason?

This is the most retarded police department, they do not know how to do their job they are rude they are stupid, I am not referring to every cop in this department but I am referring to the cops that took my report they did not know how to do their job I help them by giving them information about the car that crash me and did not do anything about it. Now I'm left with a totaled car because of these stupid officers that did not want to arrest the woman that crashed my car and left the scene. I Pay taxes and therefore I should feel save in my own city and have hope that they could keep me save but now I know that am not save they don't know how to do their job. I guess is up to me to do the investigation.
