Just punk-ass kids, being punk-ass kids. You just want to punch them in the mouth sometimes.

Just this morning, I saw video of two screaming, white, Arkansas police officers forcibly dragging a black man out of his car through the window, letting him fall hard to the ground as they did!
Sure, the man was already injured from a wreck, his car was rapidly becoming engulfed in flames, the cops got burned, and they're being called heroes, but, nevertheless, the video doesn't lie...!
PLEASE let me know when it's time to start whining. I hate it when I miss a good opportunity.9. Then, the "oh yeah, me too" crowd comes out of the woodwork.
You're kidding... right?what do a couple of hero cops have to do with a douchebag one?
why is everything a race issue with you when it comes to the cops Arp?

Which HD correctly replied....(but misspelled "retribution" that I fix in this post)Zak Tyler wrote: since you brought it up... "what if" it had been a black skateboarder and a white male cop?
To which Arp gave an example....Hoosier Daddy wrote:From the worn-out playbook ...Zak Tyler wrote:since you brought it up... "what if" it had been a black skateboarder and a white male cop?
1. Ah-ha! Film at 11!! We always KNEW cops were Angry White racist bigots!
2. And taking out their pent-up frustrations on helpless, innocent Boyz in 'da Hood.
3. We need to call for the cop's severed head on a fencepost.
4. And then fire him.
5. And then sue him and the department.
6. And initiate a civil rights investigation into the whole department.
7. And get Jesse Jackson involved.
8. Lots of media attention.
9. Then, the "oh yeah, me too" crowd comes out of the woodwork.
10. More complaints filed, most as thinly veiled acts of retribution for previous arrests.
11. Now the police chief resigns.
12. The new Top Cop must be from an ethnic minority background. Looks good, you know.
13. Urban leaders claim victory.
14. Wait six months to two years and repeat.
Which if the black man in the car wanted to (and lord knows there are lawyers out that that would) he could sue the Arkansas police. Then HD post happens.Arp2 wrote: Just this morning, I saw video of two screaming, white, Arkansas police officers forcibly dragging a black man out of his car through the window, letting him fall hard to the ground as they did!

Never. I don't place myself in situations or locations where law enforcement officers are as thick as maple syrup, and every human action in the area is potential criminal activity. When I have an occasion to talk to or be questioned by a police officer, I respect his/her dangerous job and go out of my way to treat them with respect and to show them I am not a threat or danger, as I did several months ago when I was stopped for speeding.304live wrote:how many of you have been cuffed for "your safety"?
Agreed. I used to skate some back in the day, and it's hard to do anything on a board without pissing off somebody, even if you don't mean to. Never mind the tricks--just the wheel noise alone is enough to irritate people...Jay Nunley wrote:I tend to feel bad for skate rat kids. Most of the time they have no place to do their thing legally and everybody hates them because they are such a nuisance.
No, no....the cops seriously were being heroes, rescuing a man from his wrecked and burning car. I had just seen the dash video, decided to "see" it from the point of view of a race-card-player, and told the story from that context as what I thought was an obvious joke.The People's DJ wrote:Which if the black man in the car wanted to (and lord knows there are lawyers out that that would) he could sue the Arkansas police.
Dude, do you know what your rights are?304live wrote:10 pm ish
less than 5 blocks from my house .... picking up a friend of mine from his house.... cops circled the block as i was waiting in front of his house.... pulled up behind me as he walked out of his house and got into my car
nobody was arrested.... no tickets were given.... do drugs found... nobody was drunk..... no weapons.....
drug dog was called and put into my car.....
they looked through my call log in my phone.....
i was with 1 person obviously....... he was cuffed also ....
they emptied my trunk in the street..... didnt put the stuff back
i was told that i was in a high crime area..... when in reality i was several blocks from the high crime area....
while being searched pre-hand cuffs my jacket was taken off me and laid in the mud..... was made to set in the mud.... i was less than 15 degrees outside ..... whole thing took about 30 minutes.... my teeth were chattering at the end of the event......
around 6-8 cop cars were on the scene at the end including a county sherrif who ended up being the only cop who would lay my jacket over my shoulders ..... he said "you look cold"
the only thing i did other than answer the questions that they asked me that i said was........"why are you hand cuffing me?"
the answer was
for your protection
that was all he needed to tell me......
