Yeah, but what about global warming, we're Doomed...
Yup.
Why would anyone expect leftwing Snopes or leftwing Politifact to tell the truth?
Awesome.
The number one thing a person can do during a night time stop to reduce the tension of the stop is to turn on your interior dome light.
He undoubtedly got a warning because he cooperated, was polite, and didn’t endanger anyone. Most (not the “bad apples”)police will pick up on such conduct and match it with their own. On the other hand, non-cooperation invariably leads to bad results.
Damn. If all the younger generation was like this I’d have a lot less worry about the future of the country.
I’m unable to see the video now, but just to clarify, who was speaking and philosophising the driver or the cop?
Hands on the wheel at 10 and 2 or 11 and 1 is a prudent idea. Also, immediately telling the officer if you have a carry permit and where the sidearm(s) is/are located is appreciated by the cop too.
Good car stop. Good attitude from both men. I’ve personally seen bad attitudes from each perspective a few times in the past. Haven’t seen either perspective for a long time now. Life is good.
Honest to God serious question: This is apparently a fine young man, and a good, well-spoken citizen. But in the video he did something which I have noticed that MANY black individuals do when speaking. He frequently closed his lips and rolled them inward when he paused between words and between sentences. Many black people, of both genders do it when they’re talking, but more so males than females. Could it be just a nervous mannerism? I can’t help noticing and wondering.

That sounds like something Marshall McLuhan said. "The message is the median." Or is it, "The median is the message." Whatever.
I gave up on Snopes long ago. I don’t even remember what the issue was, but I questioned them about a topic involving Al Sharpton and the fact that he was “ordained” by a DC preacher at age 10. What I got from Snopes was a scathing email telling me I was a racist for saying such things. I wrote back and pointed out that, regardless of what they thought of me, why didn’t they tell the truth about Sharpton. They wrote back and more-or-less said to “go f... yourself.” Methinks they are not the unbiased people they pretend to be.
Amen! The way I see it is this guy is pointing out that the cops can be white, or they can be black, and still out of control.
The victim can be white, or black, and still get shot and killed for no reason.
The victim can be wrong and deserve to get shot. The cop can be right and kill someone in self defense.
This is all about EVERYONE being held accountable for their actions!
what what what? This fella didn’t jump out of the car, punch the officer in the face, reach for the officer’s gun and then make a run for it, then turn around and aggressively charge the policeman only screaming he was going to kill the officer, only to get shot, and then the whole community didn’t come out and riot loot burn and murder people?? What’s the matter with him? I thought that was standard procedure these days? How rude of him to simply comply politely and respectfully!
Army guardsman. Didn’t know that. Just increases my respect for the young man.
Don mean nuffin, we knows the man is out to shoot us......
