Opinion Would a black dude get away with this?

[moosaev]

This is the most unbelievable police stop I’ve ever witnessed. I will give a million dollars to any person who can point me to a black person behaving like this toward a cop and not getting shot.

 

[Revolver]

This is why we kneel.

 

[Seano]

What was the stop for?

 

[Madmick]

Yes.

Not only that, but I think the black man would have the audacity to file a grievance against the police department despite that he failed to follow the law.

[Natural Order]

In most of the civilized world yes, in America......



Disclaimer: Up here in Canada our cops would have tossed a Tim's gift card in the window as he sped off.

It's almost like there are 800,000 active LEOs who each have their own personality, are involved in ~50 million police interactions each year and you can cherry pick anecdotal situations that paint basically every narrative imaginable.

 

[Proud American]

Oh yeah he would.

police are well aware if they light a White person up, nobody cares. But they may go to jail for shooting a POC

 

[Seano]

Yes.

Timestamped when the action happens....The Cop quickly gets the black dude out of the car and they treat him as a threat......He didn't get away with shit.


The guy in the OP had a gun, talked shit, drove away....and the cops never got tough on him, didn't get him out of the car asap....they just asked "please" a million times.

 

[RobFordsDealer]

Let be honest they would have shot him if he were Black like 9 out of 10 times

 

[Milton_Gracie]

That black guy should have just complied with the TN police who pulled him over

Like I said, give me ONE example of cops giving this much deference to a non-compliant black motorist. There are multiple videos of whites behaving like this and getting away with it.

It’s really gotta be hard these days on LEO, I for one would never think of it as a possibility if I were a teen

You can see what the establishments plan is. Out with the old, in with the new. Use the new against the old

He failed to alert the officer to the presence of his handgun, which is his duty per the law, opened his dash where the handgun is stored, and now is so upset they reacted to his oversight with this rationally fearful response he is pursuing racial discrimination charges.

Since we're playing the stupid game of meaningless loaded hypotheticals...can you point me to the case where a white man did that? Sued for racial discrimination because he broke the law?

bodycam! 'lisa needs braces!' bodycam!

utter horseshit. That guy was arrested. The white guy was let go after threatening to kill the cops.

The issue is holding the bad ones accountable, which the Union and system make very hard to do.

 

[shankmcgank]

I dont care what race you are...

Obey, live, and then await your court date.

If the cops were out of line, file a complaint.

This whole "resist, defund, fuck the police" bullshit is just self-earning people Darwin Awards for their stubbornness.

Stop trying to be cool and "stick it to the man" - we have courts and lawyers for a reason.

The excuse people use whenever black motorists get shot is a) the cops felt threatened b) the motorist was non-compliant. The white guy displayed both in spades, yet they let him walk free and you guys are making excuses for why it was reasonable, smh.
