DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus 'Disgusting’: Police officer fired after threatening Black Army officer at traffic stop

Did you get pepper sprayed and threatened to be sent to the electric chair?

Did you also call 911 when the lights came on?

Give it up, Swish.

There isn't a single one of them who has ever experienced:

1. Hands on hood/pat down... for a basic traffic stop.
2. "Pop the trunk. You fit the description..."
3. "Any 'colored' (read: "n-word") with a car this nice musta got it by selling drugs. Am I gonna find drugs in your car, boy?"
4. "Grab some curb"... as my Triumph 1500's trunk was tossed yet another time.

....so they can't possibly understand what Life In America has been like for Browns Fans like You and I.
We try to tell them in forums like this, but they simply cannot/will not hear us.

I no longer waste my time.

Getting the electric chair may have been used in the past, but today, my thinking is that riding the lightening, in the context of this is more about getting tazed.

Not good by any means, but that is how I interpret that comment.

Give it up, Swish.

And that's sort of the problem here. The entire, "It happened to me once" isn't the same thing as a lifetime of such treatment. It's not the same thing as it happening to you often. It's not the same thing as expecting it as what's normal rather than the exception. I understand that some people just don't get it.

So, while it's only happened to me once, it HAS happened to me.

Now, I'm sure others will poo poo this and say I'm lying, or making a big deal out of nothing, or whatever. I don't care.

Oh yea, and some kid got shot and killed by a cop who “accidentally” pulled out her gun instead of the taser.

Can’t wait to see the excuses for that one.

So you telling me that when you taught your daughter to drive, one of the lessons you gave her was to call 911 if she ever got pulled over by the cops.

And let’s be clear here: you’d never tell your daughter that because it’s something she will NEVER have to worry about.

And the best you got is more or less “it was dark outside”. Somehow it being dark didn’t stop them from acting like they was getting ready to arrest somebody on the FBI most wanted list.

That was completely irrational behavior by the cops with zero justifications whatsoever.

I can not be the only person on this board who thinks anybody having to call 911 when they’re about to be pulled over by the cops is absolutely insane. If that ain’t a clear cut sign of a broken system, I dunno what is.

Just a comment on your last sentence. There was a period of time, about 4 months here, where some creep had a Crown Vic and put lights on it, and would pull over women after dark. They finally caught him, but even the police were telling them to call 911 to see if the car/officer behind them is legit, and to go to a public well lit location.

So it's not always that the system is broken, but sometimes it just because society is broken.

You do realize the system is setup and run by our society. Just saying.

You do realize I replied with more than one sentence, which would give reference to the comment about society?

pfft...

ok

I get that FF but those tend to be so rare compared to the frequent police brutality incidents with minorities. That’s why I don’t understand trying to correlate something that’s rare and creepy with something that’s unfortunately fairly common as a reason to downplay what happened.

We got cops “accidentally” pulling a firearm instead of a taser, despite being on the force for how many years?

We got cops talking like tough guy extras on some watered down cop show. And it’s so much more likely to have these sort of cops in these cases in interactions with minorities that somebody going “well this one time back in the day” just seem like a deflection of sorts.

I’m not trying to be rude about it here FF but the idea of having to call 911 in the cops pull you over is just insanity. The idea that you gotta be worried about a tough guy in law enforcement threatening your life over a tag he couldn’t see is insanity.

I’m done with the justifications and excuses and understanding honestly. We either need to admit as a society that law enforcement isn’t there to protect and serve, but enforce and punish, or we need to admit that the current system is broken and needs restructuring.

America is clearly back to normal now, overall. Police brutality, mass shootings, conservatives calling everything that moves commie or socialist, and record gains on the stock market.

Yay.

What amazes me is that a 26 year police veteran can't tell the difference between holding a gun and holding a tazor. The weight and feel of the two are totally different.

If I was a cop, this would be a good case for not even carrying a taser. I know we want non-lethal methods used when possible, but we sure don't want mistakes like this.
