i can't imagine what everyone would be saying if this was a bible! they would be calling for the cop's heads on a platter! the original call had nothing to do with ethnicity so it could just have easily been a bible.
come on. gimme this much at least!

Some might. But frankly, if a police officer tells you to do something, shut up and do it. It’s really not that hard. Especially when it’s glaringly obvious that they’re not interested in listening to what you have to say.

Yeah, except that this wouldn’t be news if it was a Bible.

No.I won't give you that much b/c I don't think it's true.
Most normal people are smart enough to know that it doesn't matter what you say you are holding under your shirt, doesn't matter if you ARE holding what you say you are holding, it just doesn't matter WHAT you are holding....if the cops can't see your hands and you don't show them when asked then forced should be used (only a cop with a suicide wish would turn his back on someone who won't show his hands).
Liberals, looking to make a victim, would defend this man's actions, but the rest of us wouldn't--no matter what he has in his hand (even a bible).

what everyone would be saying if this was a bible! The same thing that they are saying here. The guy was an idiot who just as easily been holding a gun. The cops didn't know it was a Quran, Bible, or a copy of the Victoria Secret's Catalog under his shirt, they just knew he didn't obey when they told him to put his hands up.

Hey, you didn't capitalize "Bible"! But that's not important right now.
He could have been holding the original signed copy of the Constitution itself inside his shirt - the cops would still be justified in their actions here, IMO.
