Cop Car Crusing

I was driving down the parkway today when I notice a young black man driving what appeared to be a police cruiser. Upon closer inspection I realized that it was a decommissioned cop car, void of all the police insignia and decals, a black crown victoria with white top and doors. I thought how ironic that a young black male would be sold this vehicle after spending most of his adolescence avoiding such vehicles. I don't write this as a racist rant, more of an observation having grown up knowing plenty of young black males as hearing their opinions of the police. So after what has had to be years of giving pause to many, this car now gives pause for a different reason. I did notice that whatever vehicles were around this old cop car, they would slow down and drive slower, unsure of the exact nature of the ominous car ahead of them. I am sure that as car drove past this old cop cruiser that they thought of what I did. How silly it was to think that this was a real cop car and how odd it was that the very nature of fear that this car was meant to instill was still present, even though the driver was probably the subject of such fear at some time before.....
