You do understand that profiling is an illegal act, correct? Wearing all black while being black is not a crime.

My GOD, out of all f*cking IGNORANT statements said in this string, this has to be at the very top.

To make the assumption that race had ANYTHING to with it is just plain f*cking ignorant.

In the video, the kid didn't even look black.

He was wearing the standard f*cking uniform of a home invader. He then sees a cop patrolling. He then ducks into someone's backyard instead of going to the front door and knocking like a normal f*cking human being.

That's not racial profiling. That's a cop doing HIS F*CKING JOB.

Is it your contention that the cop should have just ignored the situation and went along his merry way?

Surely, YOU CAN'T BE THAT F*CKING STUPID.

Ok, it is perfecly normal activity to approach a home thru hedges into a backyard.

If your home was broken into and they killed your wife how would you like to find out that the criminal was seen in your hedges, in your backyard by the patrolman on duty...and he just said, oh well?

Kids in my neighborhood do thus daily

Saying someone is suspicious because they are wearing all black in the middle of the day is fricking ridiculous.

Once AGAIN, it's the f*cking totality of the situation. If someone is just walking down Fifth Avenue in New York wearing all black on a summer's day (even with a black hoodie), then he's not suspicious.

If he's wearing all black, then sees a cop patrolling the neighborhood, and then duck into someone's backyard, then YES, that is F*CKING SUSPICIOUS.


How many f*cking times did your parents drop you on your head before you were two? The over/under has to be at least 1,000.

Why is this law of society so foreign to so many of you young people? Have we failed to educate about how societies can set up laws and require all citizens to obey them?

You must be trolling. To be clear, cops don’t have a right to require people to stop and identify without some articulable reasonable suspicion at least. The laws vary a bit from state to state, but a cop can’t require you to identify yourself anytime, anywhere.

This thread is full of guys that will suck a cop's dick and thank him for his service, just like you.

Nah. I steer clear of cops in my everyday life. It's pretty easy to do by following laws and not putting myself in sketchy situations.

In the limited exposure I've had with police officers, I was given a ticket for speeding on the interstate, complied with his requests and went on with my day.

By all means, try to be a tough guy in front of them though, we need all the entertainment we can get these days.

Yes, the cop does. Some of you people are fricking insane in your ignorance

No, he doesn't. A cop doesn't have the right to enter the home just because.

FHP policy states: “The use of a CEW (conducted electrical weapon) is authorized and may be an appropriate response in the case of a sudden attack, or when ‘active resistance’ or greater is offered by a subject who is about to be taken into custody for any reason.”

So, the big takeaway here is that the kid was resisting, but it was passive so no taser should've been used. Was the kid annoying and disrespectful, probably. Any cop that would see that behavior as a threat probably shouldn't be a cop. It's crap like this that fuels the BLM movement.
