Rich, white Hannity says cops are nice to him...so he doesn't understand anger toward cops.

Sean Hannity is apparently confused about why people have so many problems with the police. After all, he told his radio listeners on Wednesday, all of his run-ins with the law have been very pleasant, even when he's been carrying a weapon, so he didn't see why people were feeling negative about cops, even in the wake of the killing of Michael Brown.

As he put it:

"When a cop pulls me over, I put my hands outside of the car. If I’m carrying a weapon, which I’m licensed to carry in New York, the first thing I tell the police officer is, 'Officer, I want you to know I have a legal firearm in the car.' First thing I say to the officer! He’ll ask, 'where is it?' And I’ll say, 'It’s in my holster.' And he says, ‘Alright, just keep your hands outside.’ That’s usually the protocol. And then, ‘Can I have your license and registration, please, move slowly.' And I often would even step out of the car, lift my shirt up so he can see where the gun is. And you handle it. ‘Yes, sir,’ 'no, sir,’ writes me a ticket, 'thank you, sir,’ and that’s it. You battle the issue in court!"

So there you have it, folks. If rich, white, gun-toting radio host Sean Hannity is doing fine, what's everyone else's issue?

Textbook case of white privilege.

1. "And I often would even step out of the car" That WILL get you shot.

Besides...how often does he get pulled over? "often"?

[arcane1]

2. He must be a terrible driver. Or do his bulbs burn out more than normal people's?

[underpants]

7. He probably busts out his own tail lights so he does get pulled over

Then he can tell the cop about his gun. See! I'm just like you!!!!

3. Good old Gaston Hannity

See people, all you have to do is show them your hands as you tell them you are armed. Even get out of your car to show them your gun.

Years ago, you could get out of your car. I used to do it all the time when I got pulled over. I would never do that today.

8. Yup

4. It's mostly because you're wealthy and conservative, (and famous!) Mr. Hannity.

Even white liberals don't get nearly the respect that you do, yes, even the rich ones. And poor and/or activist fellows tend to get maced when they stand up to the system. And let's not get started on poor People of Color, either.....

5. Let's inject Sean with melanin and see if he still gets the same treatment.

6. And put him in a '98 Olds. nt

10. He "doesn't fit the description".

11. I doubt many cops he has interacted with don't know who he is.

And many are probably fans.
