6 Good Reasons a Black Person Might Resist Arrest

[her209]

It matters to point out the utter stupidity of these people screaming for "justice" when they don't even know what happened, automatically think the thug is the victim, and then don't give a shit about "justice" for anybody else that gets killed by a culture some of them support or refuse to get rid of.

Wow talk about double standards. First, you're just ASSuming that "these people" "don't give a shit about justice for anybody else that gets killed." Do you expect "these people" to come out every time someone of "these people" gets killed? I also don't see this same requirement being asked when a crime happens that involves not "these people". By your logic, I guess not "these people" "don't give a shit about "justice" for anybody else that gets killed".

Like I said, FUD.

Then they double down on the hypocrisy to demand "justice" yet deny it to innocent people by looting or burning or causing mayhem. How many of those "justice" seekers will get turned in by their community? Most likely none. But hey, they want "justice", right?

Not all protestors were looting or burning or causing mayhem as you're implying. Secondly, you holding the actions of those that were against those that weren't. Good luck with that.

1. Don't do stupid stuff
2. Pull your pants up
3. Don't act like a thug
4. Live your live in a way that doesn't make you a target for suspicion

People who die, traditionally, have not been exactly model citizens.

 

[ivwshane]

Ok, so one death is more justifiable than another death, got it. I am sure Hadiya takes comfort in the fact that she, and hundreds of other innocents, die every year and nobody gives a shit because they can't wrap them up in some faux righteous indignation over a thug, who assaulted an officer, getting killed by said officer.

This is why you guys are so fucking full of fail. You are so willing to excuse this bullshit in the name of PC stupidity. You are, more than racists, are the cause of the problems because you refuse to just acknowledge the actual problems, highlight them, and demand accountability.

Lol! Justifies death? Really? No, what we are saying is that cops should be held to higher standards and police should treat everyone equally. If the police can't do that then what makes you think people in the black community will turn to police to prevent black on black crime?

 

[marincounty]

I have always been respectful and calm when dealing with the police. My reason, the cop has the gun and I don't want to be shot.
It is likely true that there are a bunch of racist cops out there. So it would be sensible to not antagonize or try to assault a cop if I were a black person. It's a matter of being practical and alive.

How do you know he wasn't treated equally?

Yeah, that's why we see so much righteous indignation about Hadiya Pendleton. 24 hour news coverage and rampant protests over gangs. It's why so many are crying for a change in black culture with families and anti-violence protests. It's why so many gangsters are turned in.

Yeah, ok there chuckles. You speak about double standards yet refuse to acknowledge that people like Al Sharpton thrive off of double standards. Twana Brawley and Crystal Mangum.

I didn't know we were talking about anything specific here.

[Matt1970]

As a black man, I'd never resist arrest under any circumstances. If I am being wrongly arrested, I'd work to clear that up at the station and/or with the judge.

That being said, resisting arrest will never improve a situation.

Nobody I know of has ever made the police go away by resisting.

 

[HomerJS]

Protip 1: Resisting arrest only make matters worst as even if you haven't committed a crime prior to being placed under arrest, resisting is a crime punishable by law.

Protip 2: If you are being arrested do not do anything that can endanger or instill fear in the arresting officer/s as they can escalate their force to secure you up to and including deadly force.

The choice is up to you.

Take a look at the clip of a reporter being arrested in Ferguson. Apparently a cop just yelling "stop resisting" is resisting arrest.

I love your assertion if Al Sharpton had died last year Ferguson wouldn't have happened.

Obviously not complying with the office's request is resisting. The reporter was more interested in recording than doing what he needed to do to prevent being arrested.

The reporter was leaving but he had the "gall" to question what the cop was doing? That's resisting?

The police were evacuating the restaurant and that's all they needed to know. The reporters were not the only ones asked to leave however, they were the only ones not complying with the order to evacuate in a timely manner.

You do know reports are allowed in these types of areas so they can do their job.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

You do know reports are allowed in these types of areas so they can do their job.

Yes. However, the police have their job to do as well and if they decide that businesses need to be evacuated to protect people they will do so. If they happen to evacuate a place where you're presently at you have the obligation to follow their orders in a timely manner or you can be arrested. The police are not obligated to explain why they're evacuating a business.

 

[brycejones]

2. Pull your pants up

So how you wear your clothes should make you a target? That's about stupid.

 

[HomerJS]

So reporters can go into Gaza in the middle of a war to do their job but not an American city?

Were reporters kicked out of NYC during 9/11? Even after the security zone around One World Trade reporters were allowed in to cover story.

The police were evacuating the McDonalds, these reporters could have grabbed their gear and gone anywhere else. However, we know they chose to drag their feet and question the police instead of evacuating the restaurant as directed.

So you have no rights to question the police? Not the only abuse of reporters. Police fired tear gas at Al-Jazeera

You can question the police all you like however, they are not obligated to answer your questions. In fact most police departments and companies for that matter have strict policies on who is allowed to talk to the press.

I'm sure they were given ample advanced notice to disperse prior to the firing of tear gas.

Certainly I don't know exactly what reporters and journalists were like in the past, but we have this image of ethical, factual, strict on integrity, etc., today reporters largely are anyone with a keyboard and internet connection wanting to write their own narrative (both on the left and the right of the political spectrum).

If a reporter wants a question answered and doesn't receive one, well, tough. And if they want to make themselves a part of the news, rather than passively observing and recording, again, tough.

Regarding Hadiya, there was righteous indignation and protests. But just not the kind you were hoping for. And the shooters were caught.

So when can we expect the same righteous indignation and protest from the community over this crime?

Do you think Al speaks for all black people?

OMG - DOZENS of people marched. Wow, this is just such an awesome ongoing tribute to her for the prevention of gang violence and the halt to glorifying gang culture.

So some random guy kills off his family in a direct murder and? If a white cop kills a white criminal nobody is out there protesting "NO JUSTICE NO PEACE". No, the fucker got what came to him. Criminal life is a short one, you either die or get tossed in prison, period.

It's like the guy that was assaulted in Minneapolis after the Trayvon thing - nobody gave a shit because he was white. Where was Sharpton or Jackson? They didn't visit the guy. Who cares about black on white crime - but hell, if it's "white hispanic" or "white", then we need to riot and cry "no justice, no peace". If it's black on black, then nobody cares at all, it's just "meh, whatever".

No, but every time something like this happens the family loves to get Sharpton involved.

Just in case you haven't looked in the other thread, this information destroys the lies that have been told in this case to protect a strong arming criminal.
