I saw this, and of course, commented on it on x. This is what I call shitbag entitlement. It is the epitome of the meme that says real privilege is being able to commit crimes and still be the victim. I came up with this term in my first few years of policing when I noticed that shitbags feel a sense of entitlement to many different things. They were taught that they deserve welfare, they also deserve to be able to be on disability and SSI, they can basically do whatever they want to you or anyone else, but how dare you try to stop them from stealing your property or reporting it to the police. In short, everyone owes them something, and if they don’t get it, they are going to take it because they are either the most aggressive, or they will gather up other shitbags and threaten or carry out violence. Shitbag entitlement does not necessarily have to do with race, but race is a weapon tactic often used by shitbags, especially thieves. When you try to stop them after stealing, they claim you’re just stopping or harassing them because they’re “x” race. When I was a cop, I was pretty sure this was taught in schools or early on at home because you would see someone commit a driving infraction, or 100% know they have a suspended license and you would pull them over. The first thing they would do was to make phone calls for back-up, then start recording and they are loud and aggressive, jumping right into race. It’s ten times worse if there is a crowd, because then the crowd starts shouting, getting aggressive, making accusations, and surrounding you. I remember one time I saw a guy driving that had a warrant and i knew that he had a suspended drivers license. Before I even got to the car, I heard him on the phone telling people to get there immediately. I told my partner to call for back-up. Well, he had just come from a bar, which was a block away. This is at 0200 hrs in a bad part of town. I told him why I stopped him and he already had his phone out recording(this was actually when cell phones with cameras were pretty new) and he instantly denies being the person I 100% know him to be. He says I am just pulling him over because I saw a black man with a better car than I could afford, which might have been true(the better car part), and also weird, since I know he didn’t have an actual job. Gee, I wonder how that could be? He also starts in on the “ok cracker pig, i guess all black people look the same.” Anyway, by this time, about 50 drunk bar patrons have showed up and are surrounding us. Most of them have phones out and are commentating “look at our racist police pulling this man over cuz he black and no other reason.” Getting real tired of their reindeer games, I order the man out of the car and he pulls out his shitbag entitlement card and places it on dash. He refuses to get out. Now, if this were an ordinary traffic stop, say for speeding or running a red light, based upon his behavior and the Supreme Court case of Pa vs Mimms(see below) I can order someone out of the vehicle for the purpose of a patdown or because of safety reasons ie I don’t know if they have weapons in a car I have yet to search or maybe because I am standing in the roadway at night and I don’t want to get run over by another driver. Failure to exit the vehicle when ordered is a separate crime of obstructing. Anyway, he is refusing to exit the vehicle and is screaming that I am a racist cop and he knows his rights (no, he doesn’t) and will sue-glad to see things have changed since then(now, the cops are actually scared that this will in fact happen and they will get charged by the doj and court of public opinion led by the honorable ben crump). So, leaving me little choice, I now have to physically remove him from the vehicle and the fight is on. After some tussling, I get him handcuffed while the very aggressive crowd has closed in and are yelling threats, spitting, throwing shit, and really trying to get into his car, which we prevent and immediately lock while we wait for back-up. We put him in the rear of the car and the crowd are getting in our faces and screaming. Now, at this time in history, getting into a cops face in an aggressive manner would get you arrested and out on the ground, but there are two of us, and there are fifty of them. The women are absolutely the worst, but some of the guys are jumping around, doing their usual “oooohhhh, man, you lucky I’m on parole-yo, J, you Berta hold me back man” shit. One of them chest bumps me and I shove him back and it’s on. Screeching, yelling, threats, more shot being thrown at us, and now two things happen. A girl opens the rear of our cruiser and tries to gets him out of the car and he starts to run and I had to tackle him on the street. He starts fighting and trying to get away and people surround us. The other thing that happened, is some guy is really trying to get into his car, but we locked the doors and had the keys, however, the window was down a little bit, so he is trying to force the window down. I also get shoved from behind while I am on top of the guy and having had enough, the pepper spray comes out and people start getting doused. Finally back-up arrives, and I direct them immediately towards the guy at the arrestee’s vehicle, who has gotten the window down enough and is inside the car at this point, rummaging around. He gets arrested, we get the arrestee back into the cruiser, and also arrest the girl that opened the rear of the cruiser, but not before many in the crowd are trying to prevent us from arresting her. They got the shit pepper-sprayed out of them. We clear out the area, search the car subject to a lawful arrest, and find two guns and shitload of crack. Big surprise, felon in possession of a firearm and drugs. The shitbag olympics and crowd display of shitbag entitlement was all an intimidation tactic with the intent to scare us off so we wouldn’t arrest him, wouldn’t search the car, etc. The fun, however, was not over, as a large group of “concerned citizens” showed up at police hq demanding to speak to the chief of police and supervisors. One of the men was the father of the girl that helped the guy escape and his other daughter was one of the people that got pepper sprayed. He was of course, the loudest and most aggressive, and was very well known to the police department for his long and storied criminal career. He was an actual enforcer for the mafia in town and later, a founding member of our very own bloods gang. Long story short(still very long, I know) he ends up getting arrested after throwing chairs and shoving officers and there is a big fight in our lobby. More pepper spray, more arrests, and a fuck-ton of complaints pouring into the police department and media gets involved. The story told to the media was that we were very aggressive and throwing around the n word and there were 20 cops pushing people around and then, we just started pepper spraying everyone and they claimed the crowd was just standing there asking “excuse me sir, if it’s not too much trouble, could you please explain to us why you are arresting this very peaceful gentleman on his way to church at 0200 hrs?” By the end of the event, we had ten-which was every cop in the city that night and during the lobby brawl, we had to call the county deputies and state police to assist. The media ate it up and the naacp got involved. Again, the accusations were that we called them all the n word and were abusive and beat the man within an inch of his life. Well, it’s a damn good thing that all those camera phones were running because that would show all of that. Oh, no one had any video of the incident? That’s weird, because our dash camera had it all on camera and you know what it didn’t catch, though? No one using the n word, it showed us getting attacked, but it didn’t show the girl letting the guy out of the car or the ensuing fight. So our illustrious prosecutors dropped the charges against the girl because us seeing her open the car door was not good enough, in reality, all of the publicity and accusations scared them into dropping that charge, the escape charges against him, and dropped the felon in possession of a firearm (s)and loads of crack to possession of firearm by person under disability (because he was drunk-but how can a felon have a firearm while drunk but not get charged with a felon in possession of two firearms?!!). The charges against the father were dropped even though it was on out surveillance video of the lobby of the police department.
this long story shows that with shitbag entitlement and accusations of racism, people in power get scared and refuse to hold criminals accountable for their actions and also shows that these behaviors are positively reinforced based upon the research by psychologist BF Skinner and these behaviors have since evolved and have become profitable for “prominent civil rights lawyers” and shitbags alike and will continue to happen so long as people are scared of being labeled with the “R” word. Despite the videos on the dash camera with audio and the police hq (oddly, never released by the media despite it being provided), none of the people making false accusations were reprimanded or even called out, the chief sure as fuck didn’t call them out, the naacp wasn’t called out, the prosecutors weren’t called out for dropping so many charges and offering plea deals with no time, and the only people that got punished at all that day were the cops for doing their jobs
This London incident is a perfect example of shitbag entitlement. She tried to steal from a store and when the owner had the fucking audacity to protest, she starts hitting him and he restrains her, only for her to start throwing around her shitbag entitlement card and the store owner panicking and letting her go, only for her to become much more aggressive and continue attacking him, and then, the call goes out and more shitbags mobilize outside the store to punish him for having the audacity to do anything in the face of crime. My guess is that the store goes out of business after it is looted and burned.
Pennsylvania v. Mimms, 434 U.S. 106 (1977), is a
United States Supreme Court criminal law decision holding that a police officer ordering a person out of a car following a traffic stop and conducting a pat-down to check for weapons did not violate the
Fourth Amendment to the
United States Constitution.
