So typical, anyone ever been to a small Southern Town?

This movie started giving me flashbacks of my unfortunate imprisonment in a small town in Alabama. It would not have been so bad except I was a Yankee girl (Southern born though)and was more assertive, or aggressive according to the guys/men, than the most of the girls. I did have some friends but they were either people I knew from when I was a kid, we went there during the summer for visits, or were people I met while I was at the University. They did not like diversity and they did not like any thing or any one who was different. I use to ask the girls why they let the guys treat them like crap, cheat on them and sometimes hit them. I gave my two cents of it and got into an actual fist fight with one of the guys, I beat his sorry ass because I knew how to fight. After that, I was left alone, but what you see here is not that strange such as a woman getting kicked and punched in front of the police and they do nothing and sometimes laugh or hold her down, I saw that too and read the officer the riot act and was almost arrested because when I was asked what I was being charged with, and questioned him and even asked him to show me the law I was breaking and he shut up. I guess they didn't like smart women either. Some of the same things you may see on youtube about people holding a camera while the police are questioning them, I was doing that in the late 80s.
In all fairness, the town grew some and the people got better. My female cousin was assertive too, maybe it runs in the family.
