American Police Brutality

How can you even compare those two videos? There is 0 info about the first one and in the second one the cop dealt with those people prior. I hate the ****ing cops as much as the next person but people getting in an uproar over comparisons like JWB posted makes me laugh.

Racial profiling? I'd bet my life savings on it, but there is nothing to go on. Sometimes you need to let you brain rationalize over your emotions.

i don't hate the cops, i just thought it was an interesting contrast. we don't have that much info but the context is pretty self explanatory. both videos were of people in texas walking around with open carry ar-15's to make a statement. in both videos the people were vocal about the legality of their actions and compliant with the police.

That wasn't an attack at you JWB or anyone posting here, I hope it didn't come off that way.

So that cat was supposed to be black?

The one in the first video?! And not a soul finds it odd a pregnant woman thought this was a good idea?! Really. ...

Weaksauce.

It is his pregnant woman, If she wasn't there. It would have most likely went worse.

Yup, and the video camera. If he was recording that **** wouldn't have made it to youtube. I'm actually surprised it made it at all.

nobody answered me on the he's supposed to be black?

He's walking down the road I get it but the perception is that uh he might be looking to **** some **** up. Hes carrying an assult rifle made with the intent to kill ppl.The cop percived him as being a threat. While that doesn't make it correct, he still did his job. Because what if h
the guy were the next James Holmes on his way to the movies. Everybody would have bitched that he drove by and did nothing.

The fact of the matter is that they would drive by and do nothing if he was white. They had 10 squad cars come to the scene. The only they thought he was a threat was because he was a minority as usual.
