I have along beard, long hair and ride a Harley and have done so for decades. I have been pulled over more than a couple of times for bogus reasons.
That said:
Eleusis I understand the nature of your complaint at it’s core but the method of discussing it is fucked up. This particular officer has done nothing that I can tell and your assumption of his guilt is the worse kind of bigotry. Far worse than the profiling you referred to earlier.
Maybe something like “Loach, I’m sorry. I think many cops abuse their power and single out certain types of people. I think the one in the story may be one of those. However, I don’t know you and my coming unglued here may have been a bit hasty and uncalled for.”
Feel free to use all or part of this as you see fit.

Also, I was very, very, drunk when I posted in this thread, as a few people figured out intuitively, from context.
To those who think I’ve been in trouble with the law, and there must lay the source of my frustration: Not since a DUI in '98.
To those who think I’m just an imbecile with a chip on his shoulder, who has never offered anything constructive to the board: C’est la vie.
To everyone else, especially Loach: Heartfealt apologies. I apparently misread the motive somewhere along the line and flew off the handle.
