Minnesota man killed in car during traffic violation for busted tail light.

You are clever at it Sly. I expect you can even understand more than you will admit.

 

I will have a good day, and I hope the same for you. If you could actively try to be more empathetic to other people's situations, you wouldn't be asking the questions you are asking. You seem to compare other people's experiences to your own, assuming that everything is equal. Things are not equal. Look at life outside of your personal perspective maybe once in your life.

 

I don't think these cops like shooting black people or desire to shoot black people. There have been studies to show that white people often interpret body language and gestures differently when a black person does them as opposed to when a white person does it. If I were to venture a theory, it's that police (subconsciously) interpret behaviors that they'd view as innocuous if a white person did them as significantly more dangerous or threatening when they come from black people. Which leads to shooting deaths that look absurd in retrospect.

 

Aw gee! Now you are going to rude. I don't want to do battle with you. But I would suggest your take on what I am speaking about is shallow.
However, I still wish you a good day, further discussions with you would be pointless.

 

Here are the sats for this year so far for people killed by the police. This isn't just limited to traffic stops, but from all types of situations:

509 people killed - 238 white, 123 black, 79 Hispanic, 46 unknown, 23 other.

Given that blacks account for around 13% of the US population is black and 77% is white, that's a significant disparity.

 

I'll take that. I wasn't trying to be rude, I just find your perspective a bit lacking in depth. Your one incident with a cop is not the epitome of what that situation can entail. Open your mind up a little man. And I still wish you a great day. I don't think conversations would be pointless going forward.

 

Perhaps you are partially correct. Let me ask you, is putting your hands on the wheel, sitting still, responding to questions when asked, and telling the cop what your going to do before you do it, acting too subservient?

 

Probably, since most people don't have to do that whenever they're pulled over for minor offenses, like speeding or a tail light being out.

When specifically black people need to do those things so as not to seem "threatening," that probably is asking black people to be subservient in a sense.

 

I don't see it as being subservient, it is what I do, pretty much what Bodymans says he does. As I recall Bodyman is a very big dude, I am old nasty looking and about 240 pounds, I don't like to put cops on high alert is why I do it. I know as the years have slipped by, the cops have been more and more afraid when they make their stops. I see my appearance has them all little more on edge as I aged. I see them being more leery of me when I am in my crust pickup truck rather than the Suburban.

Yes I have been stopped enough to see these things change over the years as more a more cops die each year. They are getting better but you don't want to frighten a cop. We best assume the position, even sons of former slaves and forget about subservience, just shut the fuck up and assume the position and live.

ps

Oh if your packing, for shit sake, don't tell the cop your are packing if your stopped for a taillight!
Save that for just before the pat down with hands way up.

 

This, in Vegas they'll fuck you so fast even though they know you have insurance.

 

Looks to me like interacting with the police while crazy has a high probability of ending badly.

 

I'm not afraid of them one on one no weapons. The Henderson police are generally big white guys on roids. Either way, a good old fight wouldn't kill anyone. The thing is, they have guns.

There is a video of a female Vegas cop shooting a guy face down on the ground here years ago. It was accidental, I don't want to risk the accident.

A Mexican kid I worked with drove a big blacked out Nissan Titan pickup with no front bumper. I asked him how often he got pulled over in it. His answer was all the time.

I said "duh dummy"

It is his right to drive a weird looking piece of junk that stands out among normal cars, just don't be surprised when it attracts cops. I'm making the same argument here as libs do when some yahoo makes racist facebook posts and gets fired from his job. It's your right, but that doesn't mean nobody will fuck with you.

 

In the stop I am speaking of, I don't think this is the way it went. She stopped me for not having the seat belt on. When she got to the truck she was surprise to find I had the thing on. She asked if I had just put it on. I sort of looked at her like she was daft, but I don't hear well and was quite sure what she asked. Then she went for the insurance shit. Then she went back to her car and fucked around for 20 minutes trying to get her computer stuff down. She was a grossly incompetent rookie. She folded in court, the judge asked me if she dismissed the case would that be enough? Maybe the judge thought I was too loud, I some time get it up because I don't hear well, the result of close encounter underwater with a 155 round.


Now Sly, I want you to answer straight out the normal side of your mouth. What's up with this snark you bring? Proud?

 

I hear you sir, loud and clear. Spot on to.

 

The policing was bad, see my other post. but there is bad law here too. You can no longer prove you have insurance later, like take it to the Sheriffs office.
You must go to court to prove you have the insurance, if you have insurance.

 

even not so crazy.

 

>>> I doubt it. see below.

>>> Not the problem.

>>> Spot on Sly. The seat belt thing is a funding from the Federal Goverment to make seat belt enforcement a priority. The Sheriff has them out on Seat Belt stake out. The Sheriff gets money for stops.

No the Feds push for this. Perhaps it doesn't quite work as there would have it but...

>>> From the Feds

I have been pulled over Three times the past 4 years I think. Ticketed once, won in court.
I do sort of blame my local sheriff for going for the Federal money. But I don't want the BLM fucking up the cities of America over this sort of silly shit. Cops are dying as a result of these protests. I guess the difference here is there are no Black people to pull over, he's the Sheriff. Just us old white guys with dirty pickup trucks.
