Cops arrest blind man for carrying a walking stick

[zincwarrior]

She admitted she was a tyrant and damnit if she wasn’t telling the truth for once!

He had an excellent vocabulary. He was probably mad about having to walk to the courthouse.

That sounds like you believe it's okay for the government to treat Americans like this.​

​

How much governmental abuse would it take before you would American up?​

If they had shot him, would that be enough of a violation of the guy's rights for you to be concerned?

The blind guy actually had a gun and the cops took it from him, would that abuse rise to a level you find concerning?

I have lived over 60 years with cop abuse so I can't get very upset over such trite crap.
I guess if one has been coddled for 30 years and has no real world experience they might freak out over this.
Its too pedestrian for me.

Only two type posts don't admit democracy is on the line. Those filled with Fox kool-aid and those not paying attention. (95% OF AMERICA)

You do find it to be an acceptable state of affairs for the government to treat Americans this way.

sad.

That so many are so privileged to get upset about such trite nonsense, sad.

A friend was pulled over an hour after he'd picked up his new car. He went off on a "Haven't you got anything better to do, I know my rights!" rant before the police even had a chance to tell him why he'd been stopped. They went over his car for defects with a fine tooth comb, and found the screenwash bottle was empty. They gave him a ticket for it, then pointed to his loose and dangling number plate, and advised him to fix it.

Well... it is England.

 

[Bodi]

I am pretty cooperative up to a point.

When pulled over I shut off my engine, put the keys on the dash board, roll the window down, put my hands on the steering wheel, ask if it is OK if I need to reach for something, etc.

When stopped while walking I make my hands visible, stand still, talk to the cop, etc.

I provide ID in most cases because... who gives a shit? I once said that I did not need to when the cop wanted me as a witness. The cop didn't make a deal of it when I said no.

I appreciate these Internet 1st Amendment Auditors. They are really doing a great job, the ones that are good at it. There are a lot of shitheads out there just being dicks to cops for no reason though. Things are getting better and cameras are the main reason.

What a weird thing to say... didn't this all start with Rodney King, a minority, being beaten by four white cops?

 

[Far right dem]

**** pigs. Can stop a blind man for carrying a stick but puss out when having to stop a lunatic from shooting up a school.


Defund the police

An American minding his own business is snatched off the street and and is incarcerated for no legitimate reason.

You're fine with that.

I am curious if your opinion will change when it's your turn to be put in jail for minding your own business.

And cops have beaten white folks also as long as we have had cops.

Yawn

I would not be because I would have played along with the asshole cops not started screaming about my rights. We all know no good is gonna come from that.
Cops are major ass holes. Unless you have a way to change it, play along or turn a hassle into an event. I don't care.

uh-huh.... and ?

False Flag

Rodney King was brought up.
We all know that was blamed on abuse of blacks. Cops mostly don't care, they abuse anyone.
But when it happens to a black, a city burns.

If we just tolerate oppressive government we can get by, right?
You sound like an abuse victim making excuses for the abuser.

To heck with your servile unAmerican attitude.​

​

Exercising and expressing your rights is not a crime.​

"a black"

 

[mrjurrs]

interesting how well the "legally blind man" is walking without any aids. Is the "man" legally blind?

While I do not agree with the LEO, the title of the vid / thread is misleading.

Legally blind does not mean that you can't see anything.

more often than not there is a protest/riot... but I think history shows that their reaction is not disproportionate to their treatment.

 

[Drowning Man]

It amazes me that there was any discussion in this thread at all.

Cop walks up thinking that something in his pocket was a weapon.
He showed them it wasn't a weapon.
They arrested him, anyway.

These idiot cops were clearly in the wrong.

 

[Cardinal]

This looks like a true "contempt of cop" charge.



The man dispelled any suspicion that the police had of any crime within the first 30 seconds of contact. They should have left him alone. Instead, because she was butthurt, she continued to push the issue and escalate until an illegal arrest was made.

Definitely worthy of a lawsuit.

 

[Cardinal]

It appears they were investigating the report of a person with a gun yes? So he is stopped and questioned. They can ask for ID in most states at that point. They can detain at that point as well.

Its codgy though after. Once ID was confirmed he should have been released. I imagine the charge is dropped already, but he was such a poopeyhead they wanted to take him for the ride. Uncool.

What is the point of demanding an id from someone who is clearly not the danger he was suspected of?

What I don't understand is this insatiable need for cops to have to ID everybody... that causes most of the problems, as far as I can tell.

 

[Bodi]

It appears they were investigating the report of a person with a gun yes? So he is stopped and questioned. They can ask for ID in most states at that point.

They have to suspect the person of committing or about to commit a crime. Once they see it is a walking stick it is clear he did nothing wrong.

Cops should just move on.

They can detain at that point as well.

Until they determine a crime or not. They determined it pretty much immediately and should have just said, thank you sir, have a nice day.

Its codgy though after. Once ID was confirmed he should have been released. I imagine the charge is dropped already, but he was such a poopeyhead they wanted to take him for the ride. Uncool.

Cops dropped the ball on this one...
