re: Black Man's Unfortunate Interaction With Cincinnati Police While Getting Coffee

Obviously high? Are we looking at the same video? Gtfoh! No way would it have been the same interaction if that guy was white. You're clearly being disingenuous. Do you ever see cops posted up outside Starbucks waiting to stalk and survey patrons who leave to see if they have bloodshot eyes or appear "suspicious"? People like you are the reason why the wheel of inequality keeps on turning. You turn a blind eye to an obvious miscarriage of authority and an outright injustice. Shame on you.

Gosh you are right no white person has ever been arrested or ticketed before. My white arse gets to run out in the road wherever I wish, cop tells me to free my hands and I get to ignore his arse no problem, bit of weed on me- no problem for the white devil.

If the black guy was not so belligerent I doubt he would have had an issue. Also we don't know what happened before he started filming.

Weed is harmless, but yelling and arguing with cops should get you put in jail. That goes for every race.

Aaah, always this one. If something unlawful happaned earlier, you can be assured the douche cop would have got him earlier.

Incredibly ignorant post

I think it's systemic and snowballs for sure. You start profiling one demographic and keep hitting the jackpot, you'll keep doing that. I just don't see cops inherently hating blacks to the point that they want to keep them down. So in order to remedy that situation the only way is to make the cops wrong when they pull you over.

And how do we know whites and blacks use drugs at the same rates (per capita). Whites are caught, but let go because of their whiteness? But it's logged in the record for statistical purposes? I'm not trying to say a whites are better, just that how would we get that info without the arrest statistics being more neutral. I do believe the white numbers are skewed since they will not get pulled over as much, but no way to quantify that.

I truly think the only solution to change this human behavior is to prove it wrong. I realize that's an additional burden one race will have over another, but it's the only clear cut way. I do not believe racism is strong enough to sustain if we can teach one or two generations that stereotypes are wrong.

They are both assholes

And I'd be pretty pissed if I had a cop just slowly following me down the street during a morning walk home from getting coffee

How bout this.....he knew he was about to get busted and decided to start filming acting like he was on a leisurely stroll.


Oh, and cop is a dick

Yet didn't arrest him for it?

I feel so much safer with this dangerous criminal off the streets.

Black man, hoody, flat bill, obviously triggering suspicion by filming the policeman and begging to be stopped by continuously looking over his shoulder and sneaking a peak at the policeman. It was a setup and, if arrested, he gets to do what he is doing now. frick him and others who wish to gain $ for nothing.
