A.K.A. The case of "Well, aren't y'all just special!"
This is the story of a "special" little boy in America. Growing up took a lot of energy-food so his Ma fed him a lot of "Special"-K, breakfast cereal.
All the while growing up his Mother and Father would tell him, "Son, you're so "special."
His favorite lunch was Matzo crackers. With dead fish.
After school all he could think about was finding a "special" job. Not just any old job, but a "special" job. He was not like everyone else, he thought. He was "special."
As an adult he saw an opening at the F.B.I. for the "special" job for a "special" guy. He became a "special" Agent. So did his friends. They all went around happily telling each other how special they are against other Americans. Especially Americans of color.
It's a magical power possessed by a "special" few. They can use ignorence-powers, or flip it and use their "special"concern-powers. Most follow like sheep, but not all.
They do feel entitled to their conduct, after all, they believed I had read and signed the document, which I didn't. Or did they and they just didn't care?

How To Survive Traffic Stops in America, Submit, Instantly! - What the cops want is immediate obedience and submission. Many cops are ex-military and view the civilian motorists of America about like they viewed the hapless peasants of Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, with contempt, not as fellow citizens deserving of civility and respect. It is a possibly lethal mistake to do anything other than submit, instantly and obey! Or be ready to shoot first. But aim high.
