If this doesnt make your blood boil, nothing will.
They really tried to escalate this with both him and his mother. Why are you so angry? Dont ball up your fists.
Then they act like they are doing the kid a favor.

(5,312 posts)...feeling up the young black male "suspect" who had no reason to be pulled over to begin with.
That is one of the most fucked-up things I've ever seen...and I've been beaten by a cop for touching marijuana, 46 years ago.
There was a section where the pig's own body cam was showing him weirdly picking at his own hands, like some kinda meth-head...and yes, I'm sayin the cop is likely a speed freak racist hillbilly klansmen.

(22,063 posts)About 20 minutes into it. Yeah, I'm good and pissed off. They obviously pulled this kid over because he's black and driving a nice car. That means he has to have drugs, or be violent in their minds. Why the hell are they dragging him out of his car, cuffing him, and searching his car for a routine traffic stop? The dog obviously didn't find anything, even though the handler was trying like hell to get him to.
I thought he was amazingly calm thru the whole thing. My personal experience with cops is that they don't want you asking questions, and if you do, they accuse you of being argumentative. They get pissy under the guise of "explaining" to you. Of course the mom was upset. She doesn't want to see her kid gunned down. They had him out there so long, what if his boss/someone from his job, drives by and sees him there in handcuffs? He could lose his job over this bullshit.
I couldn't hear the locations they were giving, but this looks like the South side of Louisville (Louisville native here). Its a solidly blue collar, rethuglican area. These cops would not give this treatment to a white person on the upscale east side of town.

(51,308 posts)Cop keeps telling the kid not to fidget, but did you see how he kept rubbing and wringing his own hands? So weird.
I dont think I could have kept my cool like that kid did.

(8,419 posts)He told them they didn't have the right to search his car. They went ahead and searched his car.
The cops were straight out fucking abusive. Passive aggressive as could be.
Once it was obvious they had nothing on him the cops started talking about how his Mom would post things (edited) on the internet to make them look bad. Admitting that they should look bad, but not taking responsibility for their own actions.
There doesn't seem to be any apology offered to the young man.
If Megan McCain went through anything close to this her whiney ass would go on for days.

(13,101 posts)I guess this was suppose to be an example of the "good ones".
There are no "good ones".
I am a 65 year old white female.
I am sick of cops harassing black people !!!
I am sick of cops beating black people !!!
I am sick of cops killing black people !!!
The cops are intentionally trained to act in an aggressive manner.
They were intentionally trying to escalate the situation.
They are nothing but an armed gang.

(19,060 posts)Just disgusting. When he has the kid near the back of his car hes telling him to tune his attitude way down, he kid was literally standing there saying nothing.
And the he starts talking about shootings. What does this have to do with this kid at a traffic stop? Pure racism to ask this young boy to answer for murders he has zero to do with. Like what was the point of talking to the kid about shootings?

(4,131 posts)How often does that K9 alert, and nothing is found? And is there a disparity between that happening with white motorists vs black motorists? I suspect there is.
