Do you believe Jones was drag racing? (inductive reasoning)

[elbowsandwiches]

Let me preface everything by saying that i dislike the privileged/elite attitude of most cops in America, and I really like Jon Jones as a fighter and extremely dislike Cormier.

With that being said, I have to go with my boy David Hume in analyzing Jones's recent drag racing charge with inductive reasoning.

ask yourself this:
which is more likely:

a) cop sees jones black face in a vehicle through a car window at night (tens of thousands of blacks in the city btw driving by this cop every 30sec) and decides to arbitrarily pull over jones for lulz and then proceeds to invent charges for fun out of racism?

b) or jones, who has major moving violations in his VERY recent past, was drag racing in his race-modified Corvette.

.... and of course the first thing that comes out is this cop is profiling. But what people don't register in their mind is that if he pulled over every black man he saw he wouldn't have time to eat a donut.
.... and then it comes out that this guy has grievances filed against him from black people in the past. If you check every police officer working today they would have the exact same grievances filed against them, because every black person thinks they are being profiled.

Logic demands that racial profiling couldn't exists because if it did police officers wouldn't have time to do their job.

What do you think?

If he revved his motor up.. they can call that racing.


Why does everything have to be about race

Or something in between. Not everything is black and white (no pun intended).

Prepare to get called racist for stating facts in the most obvious and detailed way possible

I feel like Jones was too defensive about drag racing. I didn't get the feeling that he was drag racing. But I would like to see the cops dash cam.

 

[Noleggeisha]

Useless thread.

 

[Wanderlei Industries]

Not only was he drag racing, but he was stabbing a pregnant woman a la Game of Thrones.

 

[Mangar]

Probably pull up to another sports car at a light, reved engines, took off etc. That sorta crap.

 

[nanika]

so your inductive reasoning is jones has a bunch of traffic violations so he must be guilty while a copy who has a bunch of profiling cases must be innocent? if you are going to use fancy words please use correct grammar and structure your post in an academic and logical fashion.

Perhaps Jon Jones was profiled the time he smashed his car into a pregnant lady. The car itself might've profiled Jones and used some sort of magical force to propel him into it. The fact that they put him on trial was discrimination. The white male power structure would never have tried to prosecute a white person for the same crime. Damn you, systemic oppression.

In all seriousness, I have no reason to trust Jon Jones, a habitual criminal offender. I don't necessarily believe he was drag-racing, either. The facts aren't clear.

 

[daPROFESSOR]

Jones was driving a very athletic car with explosive power

 

[mangokush]

No he was not drag racing.

Just racially profiled by a black policeman showing out for the white cop.

so this cop is pulling over every black man he sees....making charges up?

 

[HIMBOB]

No, wasn't drag racing.

He revved his engine on a hotted up car with a modified (read louder) exhaust with a cop near him so he basically invited the cop over. (Albino Nuns who do that would get pulled over).


Then acted like to ensure the cop fined him as much as he could.

Jones clearly isn't very smart.

 

[filthynumber1]

It's a matter of interpretation, in the cops mind it might be, and in Jones it's not

I would assume he prolly wasn't but the cop may think different then most Ppl

Jones fanboys have come to the reverse conclusion using the same reasoning, which is equally problematic.

 

[Thuckey]

I believe the cop pulled him over because of RACE

car race

 

[elbowsandwiches]

Why does everything have to be about race

jones is crying race

i honestly shit on jones because of and other things every chance i get while enjoying him as a fighter. See my previous posts about jon jones video game controls etc. But this is not a case that "inductive reasoning" can solve. I believe jones was revving his modded engine and committing an "exhibition of speed" or whatever that specific state calls it but he was not drag racing. if he was he would not have been able to be pulled over before he exceeded the speed limit which the cop admits he did not as far as i know. his corvette is one of the fastest cars on the road. it would reach 60 in like 3 seconds.
