Quote from CaptainObvious:
and while we're in this "opportunity to learn" moment, let me tell you what this white man has learned...that even the successful and educated blacks, you know, the "clean" ones to quote our V.P., are still not yet far enough removed from the ghetto, at least mentally, as to be expected to act in a sane, rational manner when confronted by police. They can and do go "native" even when there is no need to. This explains the beat downs that they suffer at the hands of the police when all they had to do was STFU.
Stay tuned for more...Teachable Moments.
Bullshit.
I am always subdued when being stopped by a cop, because anything they say in a court will be believed, and anything I say in a court won't.
My wife, meantime, is very wary of being stopped by a cop at night while on the road. Petrified, actually. Too many cop rape stories.
I've never understood this mindless worship of cops. Most are good and helpful, but it is always the better part of valor to assume, when stopped by one, that this one is the bad one. Because anything, and I mean anything, you do in such a situation, will be used against you if things go south.
To believe otherwise is to be completely, utterly naive.
Blacks, I am certain, act up for the very simple reason that they have nothing to lose, and they know it. They absolutely know that in situations like this, it doesn't matter what you've done or how good you've been up until that point. Anything you do in that situation will simply prove, to the white majority, that you ain't nuthin but a common nigger, which is what your comment said, when you break it down. So, the cop can pretty much do whatever he wants until he gets the reaction he wants, and then he can cuff you and say you were just another uppity niggah, right? What do you think "disorderly conduct" means????
The older I get, the more I realize how few the truly decent are.
