In February, Anthony Childs was shot and killed in Shreveport, Louisiana after a confrontation with police over his sagging pants.

Now one councilwoman wants to get rid of a 2007 law that made it illegal for people to wear pants below the waist, which triggered confrontation in the first place.


quote:

“Being able to say out loud that someone was stopped or detained because legally they were not dressed appropriately is an issue,” Fuller told WAFB. “We shouldn’t give police the ability to look at a human body the same way you look at a broken tail light."

I hate sagging pants as much as the next guy, but that's a retarded law

You can be shot over a broken tail light as well.

It's not the saggy pants. You see that pic? They wear those boxers where you can easily see their dick because the boxer fabric is usually buttoned. It's fricking disgusting.

I can't believe saggy pants is still a thing.

I watched some guy walking down Sherwood Thursday morning holding his pants up with one hand so they wouldn't fall to the ground.

People who sag deserve to be shot, but not as a judicial function

It shouldn't be a law but those cops probably did society a favor.

If this law ends up being declared unconstitutional charges should be brought against those involved with the shooting and enacting the law.

Been a fashion statement since at least the early 90s. The classics never go out of style.

Stupid. He wasn't shot because of the law, he was shot as a result of a confrontation.

Celltech is some weird combination of redneck and SJW. We should study him in a lab.
