Trevor Noah: ‘I Have Been Stopped by Police 8 to 10 Times’ in 6 Years in US (Video)
SF Gate ^ | 06/21/2017 | Carli Velocci

“I’ve only lived in the United States six years on and off. I lived on the West Coast two-and-a-half years, I’ve lived on the East Coast now for two-and-a-half years,” he explained. “In that time, I sh– you not, I have been stopped by police maybe, I would say going on at least eight-to-10 times I’ve been stopped by the police, which always blows peoples’ minds, which I didn’t know was a thing.”

His rant was in response to the death of Philando Castile, who was fatally shot by police officer Jeronimo Yanez in July 2016 at a stop. He was in the car with his girlfriend, who streamed the aftermath of the shooting on Facebook.

Slow down. Stop completely at the stop sign. Keep your registration current.

Odds are they didn't even know you were black until they approached your window.

I have known White AND Black folks who have NEVER been stopped by the police. I've known White AND Black folks who HAVE been stopped by the Police.

That this D-Wad has been stopped numerous times, allegedly, means nothing. Or, it could mean he has a lead foot, doesn't know, or care, about US traffic laws or maybe he just looks guilty.

I’ve been stopped as many times - easily. Four times for speeding tickets; once for a tail light; four-five times for standard DUI roadblocks; and once (I swear) for intent to speed.

If your cohort of 12% of the population would stop committing 80% of the crimes you wouldn't have this problem.

For decades white America made a desperate attempt to raise blacks to the level of the First World. It didn’t work. Instead saw a dragging down of society to the culture of the ghetto. Blacks were behaving as usual as spoiled brats. Anything that upset them, as everything did, any expectation that they behave, led to cries of racism and depredations by such as Black Lives Matter.

Nothing worked and nothing is going to work. There is clarity in this realization, a clarity to admitting what is actually happening. It avoids tortured reasoning to show that the dysfunction of blacks is due to anything and everything but blacks themselves. One need not make endless excuses for endless bad behavior, for the crime and dependency, the racial attacks, and the degradation of society.

The culture of the ghetto opposes everything usually believed proper in an advanced society: high academic standards, equality of opportunity, good English, minimal obscenity, equality under the law, low rates of crime, reasonable self-reliance, freedom of speech. Black culture, intensely racist, encourages none of these and opposes most. It is tribal, based on identity, instead of principle.

A) He is a liar.

B) He is a bad driver.

It's one or the other...or both.

When he first started out I thought he was pretty funny. He would make a lot of jokes about black culture in America. I watched some interviews about him starting comedy groups in Africa - they didn’t have comedy. It sounded like the whole idea of “comedy” as entertainment was foreign to them. “Hard to do comedy there - you say the slightest wrong thing and they haul you off to prison.”

Funny - now he can say whatever the heck he wants and he’s STILL not happy. I haven’t seen him after hearing about how anti-American he is. Sort of like Dave Letterman - I used to love that show until about 1995 or so.

BFD. Move to Chesterfield County, VA. You aren’t being pulled over enough to satisfy these LEO’s.

When I was a young poor preppy white high school punk I probably got stopped a half dozen times a year for such things as, broken taillight, cracked windshield, balding tires, failure to signal, speeding. Back then they just wanted to smell your breath to see if you were smoking marijuana. If I had been a long hair, I’m sure I would have been stopped a lot more.

There was a NJ study done some years ago by a university. They decided that cops really couldn’t tell what a person’s race was, when pulling someone over on the highway, and that if there were disparities in race of those pulled over vs. that of the general population, it was probably because - ta-DA - blacks were just driving faster.

Back when I was an impetuous youth I got stopped by police probably twice a month...

My son has the same problem. He drives like a complete a$$hole, gets stopped and ticketed constantly, and can't figure out why.

My daughter is white as snow and she vets pulled over at least once a month. Just a bad driver. Thank goodness we don’t pay her insurance. LOL! Maybe this idiot needs some driving lessons or needs to case different neighborhoods.

How many cops have ever stopped a high end car just so they could check it out?
