****ing cops... what scum bags.
****ing cops... what scum bags.
Any way to present the nugget of this without making us watch an hour or two of video?
Pretty much the first 10-15 minutes where they racially profile a black driver who did a minor traffic infraction and then the guy is pulled out for no reason and then they threaten him with arrest and illegally search the van, finding nothing and they drive away, I assume to violate more black people's rights.Ummm…where in that two hour video is the main part?
Black student who is moving to university, is sleepy and cross’s over the painted marker on the side of road. Police decide to tear apart the moving van rather than give a ticket or warning for driving while sleepy
Having watched it before, I believe the student is a son of a judge
The black student was very respectful and cooperative, the police were dicks
From what I can recall Audit the Auditor had this video I believe a few months ago
****ing cops... what scum bags.
But at ll:45 he gives the cop permission to search the truck and that, as they say, is history.
In defense of cops: Society (which 'law enforcement' represents) almost always reacts to situations according to their own personal experiences, which nearly always mirror fact-based statistics.
For example: It's perfectly legal for insurance companies to charge teenage boys higher premiums than girls for auto insurance, regardless of their driving record because they are statistically more reckless.
Suppose you had worked in a small corner store for several years and noticed that most shoplifters wore 'dark colored hoodies'...Do you think you might be more suspicious of customers wearing 'dark colored hoodies'?
No. Because most people wear dark colored hoodies... the percentage that are not criminal is much higher than those that are criminal.In defense of cops: Society (which 'law enforcement' represents) almost always reacts to situations according to their own personal experiences, which nearly always mirror fact-based statistics.

*raises hand*Here's the AtA video about the incident. I was completely unfair to the person who got pulled over since I put the onus on him for giving the cop permission to search the truck. (Chalk it up to laziness at not wanting to watch a 2 hour damn video).
...The fact of the matter is that permission was moot since the cop was going to use a dog and be "alerted," thereby giving him the pretext to search the truck anyway. Come hell or high water that cop was going to search the truck.
Might be...The incident is a testament to the corrupting influence of the war on drugs on law enforcement. In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if civil asset forfeiture was a predominant motive in wanting to search the truck, since corruption was an undercurrent of the stop as a whole, and there was nothing about the stop or the person getting pulled over to give the sense that there was any reason to do a search.

They let him go...It was a two hour video, what did they do to the guy?

That is a tough one. The cops should immediately stop if a person says they can not breath even if it is a ploy by the perp. Cops? Just stop. Not a big deal to take some more time. On the other hand this guy might have died more to the Meth than the restraint. That said, the cops should just stop.Whelp… i cant breathe is being shouted by white people now. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/03/17/...onstein-police-custody-death-video/index.html
I'm pretty sure the position was that it happens to black (and brown!) people at a much higher rate, not that it never happens to anyone else.Because.....wait for it.....no White person is ever stopped and searched by Police.....LOL.
Would you be more worried if it happened to you?Hmmmmmm.
Looks like another big juicy flame broiled nothing-burger to me Bodi.
I'm not real worried about it. It happens. No harm no foul.
That's what I thought.They let him go...
After they violated his rights, illegally detaining him and illegally searching his vehicle.That's what I thought.
Good luck with that.After they violated his rights, illegally detaining him and illegally searching his vehicle.
Do you mean the cops in getting away with it?Good luck with that.
