Uppity Black Angry at PoPo for Doing Their Job

[Freak Out]

I like to run at night - late at night. So I head out at about midnight, run my 9 miles and as I'm opening my back door - which I left unlocked, after 1 AM, I see the red and blue fire up and the cop asks me over the loudspeaker. What are you doing? I tell him that I live here, I was out on a run and I'll get him my drivers license. I step inside get my wallet and show him my ID. Then I thank him for checking and he tells me I should keep my door locked. He drives away and I go take a shower. Despite being of different races, the whole thing went down pretty smoothly, despite the unusual circumstances. Turns out there had been some break ins in the neighborhood over the past few months and a lady on the street had seen some dark guy running around after midnight. She was suspicious. I would have been too. Ultimately I talked to her at a block party and now she knows I run late. I threw a rock through her window so she won't get too cocky, though.

I feel better knowing that Adam 12 is still out there doing good.....and that you're getting a nice cardio workout in.

Nice job ignoring Gates' escalation of the entire event from the time the police arrived, and after he finally lowered himself enough to show the white policeman his ID.

I didn't mention this part because the cop and Gates have conflicting stories of what happenned. I really don't know who to beleive, you have accepted the cop's version. What we know for sure is that they got into an argument.

I do agree with you half-way. It is a joke for Gates to blow this incident up into a lynching of his personhood.

Joe Horn should shoot that fool.

I hate cops, they once took my fireworks at gun point.

Anyways,

Again this old fuck thinks he is Rosa "fucking" Parks.

The cops should never have arrested him...I don't care how much yelling he did. He proved he had a right to be there and they overreacted after he got lippy. That said he should let this one go now and try and regain some dignity. Continuing the racial bitchfest will accomplish nothing.

Pretty much summarizes what I think. Cops didn't need to 'win' the pissing match once they figured out it wasn't B&E. They exceeded their role. Guy probably acted like an asshat but that doesn't give the cops the right to powertrip on the guy. Some good may come of this however - Al Sharpton might eventually get arrested.

Because a cop was an asshole, that makes him racist? Cops are assholes to white people too.

Cops are even more assholish when they have reason to believe you may be committing a crime and you refuse to speak to them or show them identification.

I've changed my mind. They shouldn't have tased him, they should have shot him in the cock.

Yes, I'm a white supremacist because I don't immediately jump on board with this guy attempting to excuse his stupid, asinine, self-important behavior by claiming the police are racist and he's just a poor victim.

That's a stupid thing to say PIP, but not surprising given you're simply mimicking Mr. Gates' behavior. Don't refute the argument - just call everyone else a racist. It worked for him, after all.


HaHa! It's Obamatime bitches!

Talk to me, Red! RED!

Oh, Red, they've done gone and shot you.

You are a word nerd. Could you stand over by the math club? You'll scare all the hot chicks away.

I think once they figured out he was in his 'own' home and wasn't breaking in, they should have left. They certainly could have told him to go *uck himself as they left. That probably would have been satisfying and have gotten them in less trouble than cuffing him.

No Skin, the title of this thread is stupid, it started there.
