Got’em
I’m not as sure about political.
Nah, maybe I’m giving them too much credit but if they knew who she was they’d have cooked up a better story. I think they pulled her over because pulling over black people for no reason is what they do and then they realized who she was and realized they’d fucked and started throwing out lame-ass reasons on the spot.
Racial? Yeah, no fucking doubt.
She was.
This has racial and political intimidation written all over it. The State Attorney , who is suing the Governor over him reassigning cases after her refusal to recommend the death penalty, just so happens to get pulled over by two white cops.
You should start an organization that provides these devices for free or at low cost.
I understood “driving while black” (or pretty much doing any other activity while black) was a thing - and definitely thought it was bullshit (as in, WTF bullshit, not disbelief-it-was-happening bullshit). But I am the first to admit I did not have an idea of how bad or frequent it was until these videos started…
Agreed. But sometimes an officer will go full on ape-mode and make things worse for an innocent person when they notice the phone or dashcam.
Was she recording? It seemed possible that’s what she was doing with her phone. Smart move, if so.
Is this some sort of joke? What a putz. Florida allows 72% for the front and a whopping 85% tint for the rear windows, AKA almost completely blackened out. “Too dark” my ass.
Again this is why I stress every PoC that drives regularly needs to have a forward and cabin dash camera.
I bet you not. I have to work with a lot of racists at work. They will defend their Trump vote proudly, talk about how Obama and Hillary were far worse than Trump, rage against the fake media, and greet every counter-argument with “I suppose you got that from CNN? Fake liberal media.” No, never will an overt…
I honestly believe white Americans genuinely have it in their DNA to be Afrophobic (of course, they do not but I really want to believe it). I bet you this guy will tell the media he voted for Obama! I’m not a racist! in his nasty Polish-influenced Philly accent.
Just open up any pro gun magazine and try to find any if at all Black skin on any of its pages.
which is that this doesn’t happen.
I can’t think of a instance where the NRA defended (or argues, or made noise about) a legally armed white guy who was shot in his car by cops.
As a white, pro-gun, NRA member, this is a bunch of bullshit. The NRA should have been all over this one. But then again, I can’t think of a instance where the NRA defended (or argues, or made noise about) a legally armed white guy who was shot in his car by cops.
