I asked them about probable cause. They asked me if I wanted to take a chance by walking away that their dog wouldn't catch me. I stood there for 15 minutes until they could find something in their database to charge me with, which turned out to be a code violation on an automobile I had sold 2 years earlier. In the meantime they literally asked me if I was a terrorist come to bomb the Olympics and other similar bullshit. When it comes to cops and race, don't ever be surprised. For the statistical record, I didn't get bit by a dog. In 1984, Manhattan Beach Police officers detained me for walking on the streets at night. I asked them about probable cause.
