Drivers of White Vans are being treated as criminals

Vanity | Self

[SamAdams76]

The photos above currently on the Drudge site concern me. I followed the link and the article clearly stated that nobody was arrested last night.

Why then, do we have drivers of white vans, innocent civilians, evidently being pulled out vans at gunpoint and treated like dangerous criminals? One photo shows a man on the ground, evidently in handcuffs, with police officers standing over him as though they have just captured Whitey Bulger. When I first saw the photo, I figured the man was obviously a wanted criminal that police just so happened to come across during their search. But since there were no arrests last night, this man was obviously released and was no criminal after all.

The other photo shows a man by another white van with his hands in the air and a police officer has a gun drawn on him. Again, this was evidently just another innocent civilian who had the misfortune to be driving a white van on I-95 last night.

Now I understand the need for these roadblocks and for the police to be very thorough in their search for the sniper(s). But I cannot see the point of innocent people dragged out of their vehicles at gunpoint with no pretext other than the fact that they happen to be driving a white van.

Now maybe somebody here has an explanation why these two individuals were treated like criminals. Maybe they tried to evade the police or maybe they were driving stolen vans. But again, there were no arrests made last night. So what is the deal with our citizens being treated like Jesse James just for driving a white van?

looks like handcuffs to me too. But texasforever will remain in denial...since the scenario does not fit his pattern of thoughtlessness.

One of his other signs reads:
"Police are stopping white vans looking for terrorists! It's the end of the world!"

Well friend, back up a step or two-- in your post # 875 you ask

"Then why were all the guns pointed at them and other forced to lay face down in the street cuffed while they awaited a decision."

Damn , you people can't keep your railroad on track when you get in a jam.

You either produce the picture of the situation that you touted in #875 or retract your statement about the guns being pointed at someone. We are talking about this thread and the guns your imagination has conjectured up, not just the folks on the ground.

I guess you will start attacking some woman now.

[takenoprisoner]

I know and can only hope that you may begin to get the picture. If he/they were ever in white van they ain't no more. Get it moron?

[Texasforever]

Get it moron?

Now tell the truth, I piss you off don't I?

End of the world in your wet dream el jinete.

"still waiting for a picture of a gun visible in the picture and pointed at one of the people on the ground or the one with his hands up!"

Figures. I said, "there are no guns drawn in the 1st pic". The blonde may have a gun in her left hand, but she surely is holding a gun. It's not pointed at the guy, but he doesn't know that.

"You either produce the picture of the situation that you touted in #875 or retract your statement about the guns

I'll retract nothing. The cops used there guns and the force of the law to place that man on the ground when they didn't have to. There were others and I'll post that pick of the guy with the shotgun to his back tomorrow.

"I guess you will start attacking some woman now."

Whatever.

What the heck happened on these threads? I realize I've been mostly offline the past 3 days..but golly! Why have we turned on each other? Aren't we suppose to focus on searching for the truth, prayer and getting out of this situation?

End of the world in your wet dream el jinete.

You really need to mellow out. You are close to a stroke.

Huh??

Only in your wet dream shall I stroke out.

I wish you good luck with your attempt to grind even a little sense into the heads of the antilaw advocates. It looks like an impossible task.

They are kind of like the old Sinclair Dinasour Logo--- Big Ass, Little Tiny Head.

[Texasforever]

Hey we are building conspiracies here if you can't add to it then you are a sheeple.

[Texasforever]

Only in your wet dream shall I stroke out.

You have a thing about wet dreams don't you?

I don't even try. This is strictly entertainment on a par with carnival freak shows. You know you shouldn’t make fun of the less fortunate but hell they put themselves on display so why not?

It's a summary. Look at the second pic. The cop is covering the guy with his hands up, she is not a forward observer for the one she's talking to on her left, or the guy behind her illuminating the subject. You can not cover someone without a gun in your hand. She may be holding it in her left hand.

[Texasforever]

She may be holding it in her left hand.

I see the radio clipped to her left side so I would assume she is right handed wouldn't you?
