I could tell you the story if you really wish, what I did was the right thing to do. He said he was going to arrest me over one or another charge and asked which I would prefer. I said neither lol, just go away and leave me alone.
It worked out and was settled right on the spot, no need for papers and lawyers and courts, it is because I knew my rights and knew I did not brake the law. You find that action to be wrong for some reason and I can't see why.

And also what honest people pay the price for, it's not so great to be caught in the crosshair. I feel very bad for those kids and find it hard to argue with why they are what they are.
We need to do a much better job at something as a society to lessen this load. I know for a fact that I do my best and patiently wait for the rest to catch up.

When I was in my 20's I lived in a bad neighborhood here in Houston. I lived there because the rent was only $217 a month. The apartment complex I lived in was relatively safe because the Manager lived there and was a huge muscular guy who spent most of his time sitting in a guard shack at the entrance.
I was on my way home from Popeye's one night with some spicy chicken, when I got pulled over. I think I had a brake light out (I really don't remember).
The cop asked me for my license, but I thought I had left it at home and said I didn't have it. He told me to get out of my Geo Metro and put my hands on the roof. Of course, I complied. While rubbing my butt he found my license in my back pocket. At the time I only carried my license and debit card in the tyvek sleeve my debit card came in.
He asked me what that was, and I declared, "oh, that's my license." at that point, he told me to put my hands behind my back. Of course, I complied. He cuffed me and put me in the back of his patrol car.
It was the 90's, but even back then they had computers in their cars. He ran my license and found that it was clear. He let me go, I don't think he gave me a ticket.
I completely understood at the time why he detained me. I said I had no ID, but I did have one - what was I trying to hide?
Well, nothing, but he didn't know that. He did his job.
This guy is a jackass. He deserved to get hauled downtown.

More and more people are going to be left behind in the coming years. There are simply not enough things for people to do and the problem is only increasing with automation & computers. What to do with fundamentally 'useless' people is going to be probably the biggest problem of the 21st century.

The fact that he just basically ends it by making him seem nothing more than an emotional basket case is a big issue for me. Especially when Don Lemon could by extension be indirectly a voice BLM would look too, there have been times when he's been called an Uncle Tom but then there have been many other times where he's actually been trying to permeate the image that black people are in duress through programming on CNN.

Did these guys even go to school? They can't even speak English.
I was raised in Auburndale Kentucky, Just outside of Louisville. All of us kids spoke a little sub-standard English. When I was in elementary school, the teachers were quick to correct our English. If you said ain't or y'all the hand of the government came down on you.
Who has corrected these guys? It seems no one has.
Those guys are unemployable.
Liberal multiculturalism has allowed crap English like this to be tolerated. There was even a call for 'Ebonics' to be taught as a legitimate language some years back by liberals.
Keep the poor, poor and sucking off the govenment teat, I guess.

What a load of rubbish. You sound like a bigot Mr. Tejas. We live in a multicultural world and you should get used to it. Travelling outside of conservative states and the CONUS will help with that transition. Thankfully, the days of xenophobic white male christians calling all the shots are just about gone, even in Tejas and Kentucky.

The first step to a normal life starts at elementary. Having a basic understanding of the official language of your nation helps with that.

How is anything he said bigoted? I grew up in suburban, Madison, Wisconsin and even I know that nobody is going to hire you for a job, if you walk in dressed that way and talking that way. I'm also not sure where you received your education, but the state is called Texas.
How is this not a bigoted statement?

Which culture is it that speaks a version of english that many other native english speakers would have trouble understanding, that is peppered with profanities, slang and repetitive use of meaningless phrases? Ya hur me?

I'll give him the benefit of doubt that he is Hispanic, they are the only people I know who call Texas, Tejas. PS my girl is Mexican. So. Either that or he's being...
And a funny edit if he is his name is funny.

Cause your a bit dated there...there is no hand of the government coming down on people, and judging by their age they fall into that. Nor should they have needed that, cause that wouldn't have set them on any better of a path or stopped them from being potential cop killers.

We were discussing statistics on resisting arrest, not how the suspect should be treated for it.
Twitter and punctuation are a rare combination.

These guys are Bloods in New Orleans. They don't really care about English or grammar, ya heard me?
The thing is, these guys probably failed out of school and couldn't get a job. Then they get involved in crime because, as they state, there's no other option for them. They turn to gangs because that's the most available kind of organization. If they're kids in school that aren't bound to amount to anything, they should be able to quit school and start working. At least that'll give them a head start with a good job history and some responsibility to avoid falling into the crime trap.

I long for the day that the police were trusted. If we look at these(imo) criminalized youth it is not hard to see why the do not like the police, what criminal would?
I will post a short story with little detail about a close friend of mine, he served in the army, in combat, he became a city cop, great, he later became a state trooper, great, like I said he is a close friend, he told me he had to leave the force because not only corruption but a closing set of rules placed upon how they serve the community.
Very sad.

He's not saying that those individuals can't embrace their culture, he's saying that based on how they are acting their likelihood to get a job is nill. Honestly, I would never hire anyone that acted or sounded like that even if they were supposedly intelligent. I can totally respect culture difference and even embrace them, I even went as far to make anthropology my major while in college since I enjoyed the study of it so much, but there's a difference between respecting differences and saying how the world works.
I assume in an attempt to sound multicultural, he used the Native American spelling of Texas or maybe he was just longing for the days of the early 1800's and was using the name of Mexican Texas.
If they stopped breaking the law, and often times violating others rights, they wouldn't have to fear the police. Sure sometimes officers overstep their boundaries, but like everything there is always going to be people who are bad apples. I think overall many people becomes cops because they want to serve their communities or at least make things safer.
For the most part it's not hard to not break the law, don't hold up a store with a weapon, don't assault others and don't steal or damage other's property. Are there laws that are questionable, sure, but for the most part gang members aren't actually out breaking those laws, they are out violating the rights of others.

Only two of those necessarily implicate law enforcement was to blame. And false or misleading forensic evidence is probably more likely down to the justice department than law enforcement.

Just a quick question about police training in the states. I read somewhere that the amount of training varies from state to state and that in some it can be as little as 3 months and that it's rarely more than 1.5 years.
Is that true?
