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

Whether the cop was justified or not for the initial stop is obviously in question, but what is not in contention is that once the exchange between the officer and the pedestrian began, the pedestrian handled it about as badly as imaginable. There was no reason for the situation to escalate to the point that it did and that is entirely on the pedestrian IMO. Yelling demands and refusals at the officer and then telling him what you will and will not do is completely unacceptable.
Honestly, this brings me back to that Kevin Gates video that was posted the other week where he pointed out that once he changed his behavior and stopped acting belligerent with police, he stopped having problems with them. This is why so many encounters young black males have with the police turn physical. It's not because the police just want to shoot or manhandle anyone who is black, it's because there is a high number of young black males that act like this when they are confronted by a police officer.

While I agree with a lot of what you are saying, you shouldn't be required to show respect to a police officer or else you will have problems. They are just regular people, they don't deserve anything just because they were gifted a badge and gun. I got no problem interacting with police but if one is following me around and eyeballing me or waiting for me to mess up, frick that guy.
It's crazy to me to think that if he would have been cool, he would have walked. frick that, he shouldn't be required to be cool. The cop was looking for someone to jam up and he found one. That shouldn't be a police officers job. Why on earth would anyone trust police when they are actively looking to screw with people?

Confront is the key word here. The guy was minding his own business and the cop started it. Why couldn't the cop just leave him alone. I can't stand cop generated crime. There's enough crime without them creating more.
