I once got yelled at by a cop for walking across a nearly empty road in columbus Ohio.

The closest crosswalk was basically 1/4mile in either direction, because the building I was trying to enter is so large.

I was walking with a cane at the time. And no cars were anywhere close so a snail could have made it across with time to spare. It took some people close by stepping in and arguing for me before the Douchebag dropped it.

Im sure if I had looked my usual level of disheveled or had any other shade of skin I wouldn't be so "lucky"
