I'm confused. If they stopped you many times and never attacked you,
then what makes you think they will? I'm trying to understand this,
so please excuse me if I don't quite get it. Are they insulting?
Threatening? When you say "stopped" it sounds like stopped as in
"traffic ticket". Is that accurate? Or do they give you a very hard
and frightening time? Please explain.
