Boxer was ticketed for reckless driving Crawford is a hero in his hometown of Omaha Police chief says incident will be investigated
Omaha police ordered boxing world champion Terence Crawford out of his vehicle at gunpoint during a traffic stop for reckless driving early on Sunday, hours after his hometown held a parade to celebrate his recent victory over Canelo Álvarez.
A video circulating on social media showed a portion of the traffic stop. Police chief Todd Schmaderer ordered an internal affairs investigation, a move Omaha’s mayor, John Ewing, said he supported.
According to police, officers working in the downtown area observed a vehicle driving recklessly shortly before 1.30am. While speaking with the driver, an officer observed a gun on the driver’s side floorboard. All four occupants were ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint.
The driver was later identified as Crawford, and he was ticketed for reckless driving. One passenger, a member of Crawford’s security team, was also found to be carrying a legal firearm. Police confirmed all occupants of the vehicle are legally permitted to carry firearms. A police supervisor and lieutenant responded to the scene at Crawford’s request.
“I thought we were getting ready to lose our lives ... That was a nightmare, you know, future husband, just had a brand new child and children and stuff like that,” Qasim Shabazz, the head of Terence Crawford’s security team, told WOWT NBC Omaha.
Crawford is a hero in Omaha and still lives in his hometown, where he has raised his kids and runs a non-profit boxing academy to help at-risk children.

Wow. He was driving THAT recklessly, eh? Bet you were glad when the cops finally pulled him over.

Yes, It’s Them Again, Boo Boo.
Heh heh. Did Shabazz aks the cops to call an Uber for him?
Yeah. They're at-risk of him running them over.
What time are the riots scheduled for?

I suppose that would make the cops a bit cautious. Licensed gun owner or not.
Blacks have the legacy exemption. Didn’t they get the memo?
Boxing world champions just aren’t as recognizable as they used to be.
Nah, he was too shabusy and Terence was too shabuzzed.
Fuh shizzle.
As the head of the security team maybe Qasim Shabazz should have told him to slow the F down.
I recently saw a police bodycam video where the cop pulled over a sedan with ALL of the windows, front, back, sides, very, very dark. As the traffic stop proceeded, the guy’s mom shows up, says the driver, her son, is in the NFL, and “they all have these dark windows.” The cop was very patient, still wrote the ticket.

He makes boxes?
Since this just happened and was out of the local news after yesterday, I am thinking it was a good traffic stop, and the police officer likely did nothing wrong.
We got a new mayor recently, and he took to the MSM on Sunday, and he was out of line, IMHO. All of his comments suggested that the LEO was in the wrong, and that he was having the PD do an investigation. I thought his comments were inappropriate and left no benefit of the doubt toward the officer.
If nothing more comes up on this, I would conclude that it was a valid stop and valid protocols were followed by LEO.

He can over here to central Iowa.
There is superintendent job open in Des Moines
Why would cops be ordering a car full of black men with firearms recklessly driving at 2am? It’s not like anything bad happened with a car full of recklessly driving armed black men before...
