What an asshole!

Don't you know you're supposed to invite the police into your house for sweet tea and not use totally made-up words like "indicative"!

It's a bit ironic that, being Georgia, many of these cops are tea baggers and carry copies of the constitution in their shirt pocket.

That's not ironic.

It's iconic.

I was thinking more in a 4th amendment, warrant-less, excessive use of force, abuse of power, sort of usage.

The cops justified their treatment of him by saying he was "uncooperative" and "agitated".

I can guarantee you a white guy would be uncooperative and agitated in the same circumstances and I can also guarantee he wouldn't be slammed to the ground.

HOWEVER:

The only reason they wouldn't treat a white guy like this is because they know they would get into real trouble if they did. This is how cops would treat everyone, regardless of skin color, if they thought they could get away with it.

Also, nice username/submission synergy.

haha yah cops aren't racist they treat everyone equally.

binro: having the opinions you had when you were 14, today.

One of the big perks of being a cop has always been being able to manhandle people with impunity. You take that away from them, the quality of your average cop is going to go way down.

Wander,

Based on my own personal experience, I can tell you cops know how to pick their targets.

True, there are certain white people cops can get away with treating like shit here in the rural South, but they always know which white people to treat with kid gloves and know they can pretty much get away with treating non-whites like shit.

Even if a minority suspect turns out to be a person of some importance & influence, cops who treat them like shit won't face any dire consequences. It may be different where you are, but that's how it is here.

As long as a cop knows they won't be reprimanded for acting like an asshole, the cop will act like an asshole.

I'm not saying that cops don't disproportionately hassle/arrest black people. I'm saying it's stupid to think "Cops target black people, but they aren't racist"

Al Asehkir has always been out to show that Al Qaeda is just a bunch of amateurs.
