Black actress kissing white boyfriend handcuffed/detained

Kudos to me for not pouncing on that one, huh?

 

well in this country it is not the people who have to succumb to the government whims. That is comparing apples and walnuts.
If I am walking down the street, not committing a crime I should not have to produce identity because a cop doesn't think I look right.
That is a fact.

 

How about if a crime has just been reported and you fit the description of the suspect?

A police offer should be able to ask for identification in a manner which does not provoke an innocent person.

 

Every time you read about another situation where cops profiled or got rough, why is it that the person being "abused" always screws around and tries (*)(*)(*)(*) them off. Frankly you deserve it, every time. Talk to any cop. The LAST thing you should do is screw with them. You have no idea who screwed with them 30 minutes earlier. So how about using your brain and simply saying yes sir and no sir and make everyone's life easy? Nah, thats too difficult for some people.

 

Tell you what, we are getting closer to creating telepathy all the time; and as soon as LEOs can read your mind and comprehend both your current circumstances and your immediate attentions they will do just that. Meanwhile it's pretty much down to guess and by God as to who's a perpetrator and who's just a whine-baby. They had reason to believe that the woman might have been a hooker plying her trade where she definitely should not have been. So . . . make prostitution legal, and then no problem. OR . . . if the police officers are to automatically cut people slack according to a sliding scale melanin count ratio then it is then incumbent upon leftwingers NOT to howl and shriek when . . . prostitution becomes rampant -- heh -- in an area. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

 

They aren't being forced to have that job and I'm not going to sacrifice my rights to make a cops job easier . They need to legally go about things.

 

Yes indeedy-do.

 

Funny it happened in Liberal Land and you try to make it sound like it is something conservative.

Depends on the State. You are not required to show ID in most States unless the police have credible suspicion a crime has been committed. The only caveat to that is showing your ID if you are stopped while driving. You may end up in cuffs but the police often lose if it is taken to court.

 

Being placed in cuffs does not mean you are under arrest. Police can do that while they figure out the situation and that is what it sounds like happened here.

 

Still, being detained without committing any crime can be taken to court.

 

Again, I ask! 2 PEOPLE KISSING. "SHE" GETS ASKED! Did they ask him? 2 PEOPLE, SAME ACT, ONLY DIFFERENCE--one was white, one was black. You do the extrapolation.

 

Seems to me like she has a good chance for a lawsuit.

 

Well . . . instead of getting all hysterical and making a racial issue out of a molehill one could check with that department and discover which gender they've been having more problems with lately -- male or female hookers. Most likely females. GASP! -- mystery solved!

Sheesh!

 

omg, selling the one thing we all should have complete control of, her body, yeah that should be a crime... not

 

That's patently false. Only if its part of an investigation and from what was described in the posting, there was no probable cause to ask for ID.

 

roflmao!!! Smarty pants.

 

You have the right to be an A$$ to a cop and they have the right to make your life miserable. If you're confrontational right off the bat, what law states the cop has to take YOUR abuse? The cop has NO OBLIGATION to treat you with any more respect than you treat them. They obviously don't want to go through all the paperwork after dragging your dumba$$ off to jail for disorderly conduct, but maybe some will if they're in the mood. Anyone who has multiple bad run ins with cops is obviously doing something. Same with people who never understand why they keep getting fired or can't hold a job. It always comes back to how everyone else is wrong. Or those who seem to get into car accidents all the time, yet claim what a great driver they are. Its never everyone else. Once is an accident. Twice is is an exception. Bad things happening 3 or more times and its stupidity. Purposely screwing with cops is sheer stupidity.

 

That's why I don't buy the cops story.

I'm wondering if the cops were black?

 

Not true. You're only required to do that if the cops can reasonably suspect you of a crime. Kissing in public is not a reason to suspect her of being a prostitute.

 

Maybe you're okay with living in a "paper's please" society. The rest of us value our rights.

 

No cops don't have that right . You can Be a government sheeple if you wish but I'll take my rights.

 

Oh I think there is a compromise position between demanding that the LEOs fix all our criminal problems and demanding that they never offend anyone's dignity in the process. But most of the critics of LEOs seem stuck in precisely that particular mindset. Protect us Mr. (Ms.) Police Person . . . but without ever inconveniencing us or making us feel like we are under suspicion.

To be perfectly honest I have no idea why anybody would join any law enforcement agency whatsoever under today's leftwing promoted mindset in which the LEO is damned if he or she does and damned if he or she does not.

 

Completely disgraceful. But the resident RWers here don't care because they know they will never find themselves in this woman's situation.
