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?"

Yeah, he’s in America now. Know what I’m sayin’?????
Well I’ll kick the protester in the balls and claim it’s a Polish Expression.
Yes, Arabs do express themselves pretty nastily. Arabs are Arabs are Moslems.
Cut his tongue out.
Plastic or copper or lead?
My apologies to Christian and other non moslem Arabs. Ị have met some such and they are every bit as civilized as Europeans.
Galvanized.
We wouldn’t want them to put them at risk getting tetanus from rusty metal now would we.
Camels consider spitting to be an invitation for intercourse...
Arabs are just wonderful expressions of humanity.
Seriously, go back to your sand dune infested country you primitive!
How about this from the spitter: Masri responded, “Yeah, they believe, they believe videos and they believe twitter shows before they actually look at evidence.
Gosh, how hypocritical. None of them are looking at the evidence in the MB shooting - they believe rumors, Al Sharpton and the communist propaganda. These people need to be escorted to the Middle East.
Yes it is assault, regardless if you spit on a policeman or a civilian. For all you know he could have Ebola or some other transmittable disease.
