Bassem Masri was interviewed on CNN after being arrested for spitting on an officer. Before getting into a heated debate with host Michael Smerconish, Masri claimed that he did not in fact spit on the officer, but was expressing himself in a way that "Arabs" do.
At the beginning of the interview, Smerconish got right to the point and asked Masri if he spit on an officer. This was Masri's response:
"No, no I didn't. That was an expression that, uh, we use in, uh, Arabs, you know what I'm sayin'? Basically, it's just a sound of me being, you know, me spitting. It's not what I was actually doing. So, uh, yeah."
Smerconish then pushed Masri, asking if he was aware that he was arrested specifically for spitting on an officer.
Masri responded, "Yeah, they believe, they believe videos and they believe twitter shows before they actually look at evidence. But that'll get thrown out of court. That's cultural background, so, it's all good, you know?"

” That’s cultural background, so, it’s all good, you know?”
No, it is NOT AT ALL GOOD.
Hey, I’m old and saw some spitting in my day. Just wasn’t at people. :>}
Well, it is his job.
It is shocking that we allowed such losers to enter this country. All cultures are not equal. On the plus side, the arab idiot did not blow him self and others to a bloody pulp.
save some of it for smercommie, bad guy anyway you slice it regardless what he said here
So if he should disagree with O, or Jarrett, or any of those Muzzies in the WH, it is accepted as he is just expressing himself?
=========================================================
And eat lots of asparagus.
Bassem Masri ping
Now that is someone I wouldn’t want to invite over for dinner.
There are some that I don’t believe can ever be civilized.
After spending years in the mid-East, it is well known that spitting on someone, intentional or otherwise, is a highly offensive act.
Cultural? Yeah. . .deliberately offensive in any culture.
Chopping heads and raping women is also one of their “cultural expressions.”
He stated that civilians treatment of police officers should not be looked at, that we have a right to be mad at the police, and that the United States is our country.
I have gotten more and more on the side of the police since following Ferguson. This whole, "police have to give up their rights when they put on the badge" thing is for the birds. People who are not mentally disturbed in a "should be controlled for their own protection" kinda way have no business spitting on cops or pulling half the stunts I have seen on Ferguson videos.
Numerous "peaceful" protesters have claimed the right to do anything from scream racist insults to fling things at the cops, and insist that the police are "escalating" the situation when they respond to flung objects and shooting with tear gas and forced dispersal. The reason that people are conflating the "peaceful protesters" and the rioters is that the peaceful protesters are not only acting like rioters, but claiming the right to act like rioters while still having the right to the title "peaceful."
Maggots there every where.
When did Arabs get into the Ferguson squabble?
No, no! It is an Israeli one right out of the movie, “The Hebrew Hammer.”
Arabs also express themselves via rape and beheading, so what is his point?
So send him to Saudi Arabia to spit on a Saudi officer and see the Arab customs that play out.
