The cops are not your friends. I’ll say it again, the cops are not you friends, got that everybody. They have a job to do and that job is to arrest people. If they come up to you and pose as a friend, that is only because they are seeking information. That same friendly cop you talked to and thought was your friend would stand by or even assist another cop beat the shit out of you and then testify in court, under oath, that you were the aggressor.
Don’t talk to cops. They are not your friends. Everything you say to them can be used against you and if you tell them one lie, they can bust you for lying to a Police Officer. They on the other hand are not only permitted, but encouraged to lie to you and you have no recourse. You can’t tell the judge, “He lied to me.” The judge will just say, “So what, that’s his job.”
Believe me, I speak from experience. I was not always a good girl and I have been arrested many times in the last 65 years. (I served 30 days on a prison farm in 1968.) There is a thing they call the “the thin blue line” and no cop who wants to keep his job and his standing with his fellow officers will cross it. They will lie under oath, they will fake evidence, they will do anything to show that you are lying and they are telling the truth.
Guess who the judge or jury is going to believe? It ain’t going to be you, my friend.
So the lesson here is, don’t talk to cops, keep your mouth shut except to ask if you are being detained. Don’t tell them any more than you have to. They are your adversaries. Ask if you are free to go and if they say yes, beat feet, and thank your lucky stars. Being arrested in Denver can be lethal.
