Reckless driving for trying to film something on a cell phone and drive at the same time?

It’s clear from the footage that the taker of said video was in on it.

No one films driving like this with some random guy running down the street. He turned the lens on purpose. He was filming because he was asked to film as he drive to the scene and then boxed the victim in. Every twitch in a recording tells a tale and this was taken by someone who knew full well what was going on.

Racism exists, folks. On both sides. From an equal number of people and for the same reasons.

While I haven’t been talking a lot lately, I am reading and thinking. I’m rarely near a keyboard and swiping concentrated thoughts on a phone is tough. But I’ve been in Bentonville Arkansas and can tell you about my time in one of the most racist areas I’ve ever lived.

I’m a white guy and I get the hairy eyeball from the Indians in the indian neighborhoods (Of which most of Bentonville is courtesy of Walmart). I’ve been pushed to the back of lines, had backs turned on me in public places and watched every single time (!) mothers pull their kids out of play areas when my daughter shows up. I do Uber and have been learning Hindi and the like - and I know a bit of the plain-spoken insults they trade me and my daughter.

Racism exists and it’s getting dangerous. I see nothing about these guys that is defensible.
