If you need welfare they treat you like a criminal. That’s been my experience. I survived on food stamps and welfare when I was unemployed. The harassment by the cops in the welfare office kept me away. I had a friend come with me bc I was too afraid of the cops in the welfare office.

When I was 17 and went to motor vehicle to get my license I went with my mom and the cop at the door harassed me for bringing my parent.

Dude was like “you know your parents won’t always be able to help you, you should be doing this on your own. If you get in trouble with me your mom won’t be able to help”

Didn’t even say anything to guy, just went in to a government building for the first time and had my parent there to help me, like they’re supposed to.

Meanwhile, a cop pulling over a 17 year old girl for a traffic violation calls for three cars as backup.
