Somebody needs to post the greatest poster in the world here.

“Real Gangsters: Now Pull up Your Pants”

Wish I knew how.

What, the cop didn’t shoot him on the spot for not taking his hands out of his pockets?

He was also charged with violating the city’s saggy pants prohibition.

Wish they had that law everywhere! Suspenders are the answer! Make them wear suspenders. When I was a kid, my mother made me wear suspenders until my new pants fit. We were poor and her budget stretched more by buying oversize clothing for us kids.

Had a friend in law enforcement who could tell when a suspect was fixing to run.
When a suspect started to reach for their drawers, the LEO would commence to chase the suspect “before” they started to sprint!
That extra second or two could make the difference.

Saggy pants has cost more than one punk his life in this situation. In Detroit a cop was holding a suspect at gunpoint when he turned and ran away, his pants dropped and when he reached for them quick and pulled his hand away the cop mistook the motion as him having a weapon and killed him.

Hard to fault a cop for doing it either.

In the time of our forefathers, anyone "purposely" wearing their clothing in this manner would have been considered mentally ill or insane and locked up.

However, it is an immediate reliable "identifier" for the mindset, or lack thereof, of the individual you might happen to encounter.

Gun + five bags of weed = dealer.

16 years old = slap on wrist and more street cred when the law’s through with him. Should’a been shot trying to escape.
