it is up to the Mayors and Governors to make an effor tin all states regardless of party. They are such pussies afraid to insult the police or challenge them or the unions. If you beat down someone for no reason, your life is now chained to a desk or go find another job.

In this case its just clear that people walking need to carry the same sovereignty as someone in a car.
The only circumstance where it is acceptable to detain and question is if the person matches a description from a local crime or if someone is recognized as having warrants or if someone is exhibiting weapons or contraband. Falling-down impairment might also be an ok reason to detain a pedestrian or other aberrant behavior (threats to others etc).
But anything else should be stopped. "He looked out of place" is not a valid reason to detain, beat, taze and humiliate.
A lot of them do seem to walk around with their pants falling down. Really weird.
I live in a winter community as in very cold and lots of snow from mid-December to late-March and you can still get in good skiing at the nearby Ski resort.
The streets are plowed first and often. In contrast, sidewalks only plowed a few times per week.
It's normal here to see people walking in the streets in my area because its a easier walk, faster than trying to walk along the sidewalk in the winter. Seriously, in my area...a well plowed street only has about 1 - 2 inches of snow. In contrast, all that snow that was plowed off the street...its now on the sidewalks as in a few feet deep.
Same is true when I see people jogging in the winter...they jog in the street although I wouldn't dare do my running in the winter along a street because its too dangerous due to the fact that cars slide often.
Back to the walking by the guy in the video...
- It's simple, its Texas. People are not use to seeing others walk in the street in the winter because they aren't use to having an unusual winter storm weather like that. A lot of people in Texas not dressed properly for weather like that.
Driving behind him to ensure he got home safely considering the call was initiated as a "welfare check".

You just reminded me of the time when running really started to get popular. People then were not used to seeing runners, and many assumed they were "running from something".
Seriously...that is what they are wasting money on?
New slogan should be Audit the Police
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
Please ask yourself: when was the last time you saw next-generation, world class technology for education, healthcare, housing, etc consistently prioritized for underserved communities like this?
Honestly, hopefully robospot & automation leads to less black people getting shot? Less racists writing that profiling algo at Boston dynamics. Just found the observation lulzy
It was about two years ago, but AOC fought hard and won!

Amazon has hit-out at Congressional newcomer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Democratic peers for creating an unjust hostile 'environment' that led to the withdrawal of their New York headquarters plan.
The online retailer announced on Thursday that they were pulling the plug on their proposal to create a second headquarters in New York's Long-Island City.
Speaking out about the withdrawal on Friday, Amazon's head of policy communications, Jodi Seth, pointed blame at Ocasio-Cortez and her anti-Amazon rhetoric.

Seth said it wasn't 'any one incident' but months of vitriolic political discourse - perpetuated by the likes of AOC - that ultimately resulted in the company's decision to look elsewhere for a new branch to its Seattle base.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, remained outspoken on the deal since its announcement in November. Now Amazon blame her rhetoric for foiling their plans

The Jeff Bezos-owned firm had proposed building an 8 million square foot Amazon campus in Long Island City Queens to act as a branch of its Seattle headquarters. The proposal was projected to bring in 25,000 jobs and generate $10 billion in revenue over 20 years
'It was that the environment over the course of the past three months had not got any better,' Seth told NBC on Friday morning.

Amazon's Jodi Seth (above) directly named AOC in her condemnation of New York lawmakers, saying her 'Never Amazon' rhetoric was damaging to the plans
'There were some local and state elected officials who refused to meet with Amazon and criticized us day in and day out about the plan.'
Seth, who has been with Amazon since 2017, added: 'If you talk to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it's 'Never Amazon'.'
Ocasio-Cortez had long been a strong opponent to the plans, citing rent hikes and local displacement - as seen around the tech firm's headquarters in Seattle - as grounds for why the city should reject the proposal.
The 29-year-old responded to Amazon's shocking announcement on Thursday with glee, tweeting: 'Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world.'
She opposed the move for its massive tax incentives, previously tweeting such money could be used towards improving the city's crumbling subway system and investing in local communities.

She was among the more high-profile critics of the deal from the Democratic Party's leftward flank and tweeted her opposition as earlier as last year. Above is a tweet from November

On Thursday she continued to criticize Amazon, pointing out how they paid nothing in federal income taxes yet made a whopping $11billion in profit

On Friday, Seth said she was 'pretty confident' the proposal would've been approved if Amazon decided to move-forward, but executives at the firm ultimately decided to hedge their bets elsewhere.
'Looking at the opposition and the timeline we decided we don't want to work in this environment in the long term,' Seth said.
Amazon's condemnation of AOC and other democratic lawmakers followed a scathing statement from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued on Thursday.
A furious Cuomo said 'tremendous damage' had been done by self-serving politicians in the state.
'A small group of politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community — which poll after poll showed overwhelmingly supported bringing Amazon to Long Island City — the state’s economic future and the best interests of the people of this state,' Cuomo said.
'The New York State Senate has done tremendous damage. They should be held accountable for this lost economic opportunity,' he added.
Wearing a t-shirt in the snow and highly likely under the influence of drugs? Not in my neighborhood. I would call the cops too if I saw that dude near my house. Until some of the black dudes quit that scare shit I rather prevent than regret. But I realize that's perhaps just me. I am white and I fully admit black guys who behave erratically in my vicinity make me uncomfortable, safety wise. I had some very bad experience.
By the way I would call the cops also on a white dude who stooped around my neighborhood wearing a t-shirt during a snow storm appearing intoxicated. Why? I know all my neighbors. He is not one of them. He wears a t-shirt meaning he can't have been hiking or making distance. Something weird happened and hence I would rather have the cops to check out that dude.
