Surely those Kenner, LA cops weren't being racist...
Person apparently representing himself as a cop is killing people in Mississippi. We have had people in unmarked cars with blue/red flashing lights turn out to be robber or rapists.
When I was around 19, I and two friends were driving to college. We had only gone a few blocks when a car runs a stop sign without even slowing down and nearly hits us.
I was able to dodge him and just kept going. We had only gone a short distance when he caught up with us and waved us over. He pulled out a badge and started telling me off for speeding which I had not been.
After a few minutes of his ranting he left. One of my friends knew who he was and said he had a reputation for being extremely mean. It turned out he was a temporary deputy only.
I didn’t do anything but my friend’s father called the sheriff and told him what happened. I am not sure what happened from then on but that guy was as sorry a person as it is possible to be.
He nearly killed us by running a stop sign then verbally assaulted us under threat of police power.
They must run a tight law and order type of town there in Kenner.
I agree with the pastor, I hope the cop gets fired.
Presumption at gunpoint. If you don't sign, then they arrest you for denying their presumption that you are subject to their jurisdictional authority. Then you have to go to jail, and have a hearing, in order to point out that they don't have any jurisdictional authority over you. Then the judge rules against you, while thinking (but not telling you) that by acknowledging that you had to reply to them at all, you are presumed to have agreed to their presumption.
What's the way out? R efuse to acknowledge police authority, get arrested. Refuse to acknowledge court authority, rot in jail. Be abused in jail. Wait. have lawyers throw tricks at you while you live on cheese sandwiches and fend off Bubba and are denied representation. In a few weeks, if your exhaustion doesn't make you slip up, they throw you out on the street and tell you not to come back.
Great system. Just what the Founders had in mind.
The Pastor goes to the old standby , he picked on me because of my race.
Well Mr. Pastor there are hundeds of people in America who have been crapped on by police officers who are arrogant, gung ho or had a fight with their wife that morning.In my community the cops who write the most tickets get to ride in a “plain car”. There is always a young troop trying to work his way into a “plain car”.
You ran across an asshole, there is no proof he was a racist asshole.

Cops simply don't observe a violation -- and then just go home and wait around for the "violator" to show up next door -- 20 minutes later.
Race or no race, I would do my level best to get those two cops busted for false arrest!
