Well it starts by obeying the law.
I once had a cop point his gun at me.
It was the result of stupidity on my part, followed by an extreme over-reaction on the part of the officer. By staying calm, and following the officer’s instructions, I was able to defuse the situation and did not even end up in custody.
I will say this, though: The business end of a .38 revolver appears to be the size of a cannon barrel when it’s pointed directly at you (at least to me, it did).
This is almost word for word what I always tell people.
In fact, they should give a class that covers this to EVERY inner city school child in America!
I NEVER made that mistake again.
I GOT OUT of my car without being instructed to and started walking back toward the cop car after being pulled over.
The COP FREAKED OUT and pulled his gun and started ordering me to place my hands on the car ect. Everything turned out fine in the end, but I scared the piss out of him apparently and since then NEVER get out of the car. I just sit patiently, move slowly, keep my hands visible, be super polite and respectful (whether it is deserved or not) and don't argue, but just express regret for my actions.
I hope this pic goes viral. Sums up totally the black thug culture.
LMAO! That’s gotta be a photoshop, right?
“Sir” denotes respect, respect is earned, not given freely. I do usually say “sir” to men who are obviously much older than I am.
At 69 years old there aren’t a whole lot of those guys around.
I had one pointed at me in a bar. (Up close and personal)
Good advise. I would add; if you have a CHL voluntarily show it along with your DL and if carrying a gun, either on your body or somewhere in your vehicle, inform the cop that you have a gun and also volunteer where it is located. However, always keep both hands on the wheel and do NOT attempt to show the gun. Although in texas (I live in Texas - God Bless Texas) if you’re a CHL holder you’re not required to show your CHL even if packing unless asked Besides, the Cop already knows this before he/she walks up to your vehicle as its in your DB which he/she more than likely pulled up before coming to your car. And, usually you will be thanked for volunteering the info. Shows you’re one of the good guys and puts the cop at ease.
Cops LOVE to be called ‘SIR’ and they love your deference and respectful attitude.
Why not... he has a gun, a badge and a uniform for a reason... to protect ME.
I don’t know. Looks real to me.
Part of the “urban” underclass culture is hating the police. To them, the police are the unjust, unfair White establishment. They are taught to hate the police.
It’s not “profiling.” It’s thugs acting like thugs.
Wrong guy. Andrew Tahmooressi went to jail.
Bo Bergdahl went to jihad and then to the White House.
I had some guns pointed at me in 1969 but they weren’t police.
Oh yeah, you are right, Tahmooresi. thanks.
While true, it's worse than just hating the police, the 'hood has a completely different set of laws governing behavior. The hood doesn't live by the same laws we do, although they frequently get busted for breaking "our" laws.
Case in point. In Ferguson, the QuickTrip was burned and had "Snitches get stitches" spray painted on the wall. Mike Brown actually robbed the Ferguson Market but word on the street was he robbed the QuickTrip so the hood thugs torched it because it was reported to the police.
Me, too - in Catholic HS English class. Hood classmate was just showing off. I was too naïve to be scared.
