Wow. This got a little nasty. I didn't intend it to. I was not responding to the original post but rather to a post about volunteering information that there is a weapon in the car. Of course I would do the same but I can virtually guarantee that an officer's reaction to me would be very different than to the poster. You may think that I'm some bad ass black man with an attitude but I am not. I get racially profiled often and it's obvious. Pulled over for doing nothing wrong. Pulled over for false reasons. Pulled over after they clearly see my face. Bags searched "at random". Followed around stores by security and clerks. ID'd. Need I go on?
As for the video, geez, I don't really see anything wrong w/ what the officer did. How stupid could she be to stay on the phone and resist getting out of the car? Who knows, it could have been a bit of profiling. He may have been more patient w/ a white woman but without several videos, how would we know?
I think it was Dave Chappelle who said something like, "I don't care if they beat me or shoot me! Just make sure that they beat and shoot the beautiful white chick that crossed the stop line... by 2 inches. Damn!"
