My abbreviated way of saying "an area where a recent rash of break-ins by car thieves occured to cars parked in that lot". Better? Or do you know people who actually live there and have statistics showing that these break-ins did not occur? Maybe the cop was parked there to catch some shut-eye, huh?
"He was there to meet a friend."
Who never did show up.
"It is a public 24 hour lot (also mentioned) so he did have a reason to be there"
Sure. And we have public parks on the south side of Chicago that are open 24 hours. Maybe you'd like to exercise your constitutional rights to visit one at 2am?
"and he is Constitutionally right to ask why he was being delayed."
He was parked! What do you mean "delayed"? "Delayed" from doing what?
It was constitutionally proper for the cop to ask the questions he did, given the circumstances. The kid was evasive, adding to the cop's suspicion.
"You are being rhetorically slaughtered."
Not by you. Not by anyone.
People who live there and have provided the statistics are on this thread. Read up.
Who never did show up.
Brett's response to this is below. But I imagine that you won't read it, and if you do you'll ignore it.

Since when did I become part of this story? Stay on topic or go home, junior.

Delayed from changing his radio stations. Delayed from reclining his seat and thinking pleasant thoughts. Don't gripe semantics with me, junior. It makes you seem deliberately obtuse.

Did you even watch the video? Sheesh.
