It finally happened. Officers abused and cavity searched someone I know.

[jmdrake]

I stand by everything I said. Ask any liquor store or 711 owner when they get their back up.

So if I have on a Vandy hoodie pulled up around my face (making it hard for a security camera to get a clear view) that's not as scary as me wearing a plain hoodie with the hood down? I doubt that. Could be true, but I doubt it. And context is everything. This wasn't a 7/11. There was no accusation of a robbery going on. When the police assaulted her she was in her truck getting ready to leave. Sorry, but the police had no more reason to suspect her of being a gansta than the police in Texas did who cavity searched the women in the video I posted.

Stand out like a sore thumb in a bad neighborhood and you risk your safety. That is not asking for it. That is a fact.

The woman in the OP story was in the parking lot of a POST OFFICE. Who said anything about a bad neighborhood? It would be smart to avoid a "bad" neighborhood no matter what one is wearing.

Truer words were never spoken. We really can't pay attention to anything but the children, leaving us oblivious to almost anything else. Children seem to be constantly drawn toward whatever will injure them the fastest.

Which is where men are supposed to step up.

But we've turned everything so upside down and inside out, nobody does anything anymore.

Other than to placidly observe, and secretly give thanks that it wasn't their turn this time.

LOL. The most neg rep I received in one post than all of the 6 years posting combined because of the lack of reading comprehension or lack critical thinking on the part of the negative reppers. I think it is pretty clear from the above post I do not agree with what happened to her.

Taking my words out of context, what is this MSNBC. Good luck living your life spouting your MSNBC talking points you clowns but it does not change the reality of the world we live in. People stereotype and people profile.

If Trayvon did not look like he was going to rob a liquor store with the hoodie do you really think Zimmerman would have followed him? Don't fault me for the nature of people.

Same as this woman. Not saying she did anything wrong but to keep your children safe from the police thugs, dressing up like a gangster may attract people that are going to treat you like one.

Sometimes it is better to walk away and live to fight another day.

Own it.

You put your foot in your mouth and took a bite.

It happens to all of us.

Regardless of qualifiers, this women was not applying for a job, or cruising the 'hood at oh-dark-thirty.

She was a mom with her kids, at the post office, on a cold March evening, where you would likely to be wearing a hoodie, who got raped by cops.

 

[kahless]

I don't think any of your posts here deserved a neg-rep however,it is you that is doing the stereotyping.

I am not doing the stereotyping. I am saying PEOPLE including COPS will profile and stereotype you.

Right....and don't wear a mini-skirt unless you're asking to get raped. Got it.

I never said that. You are making shit up. A common MSM tactic, you learned from them quite well.

That woman wasn't dressed poorly for running a damn errand at the post office. And even if she had, how on earth do you believe that gave the cops the justification for trampling her constitutional rights? You claim that you weren't saying that, but you were the one who mentioned her dress, so you must believe it.

Holy cow. Where did I say any of that, I never said that. You are completely making that up or getting that from some elses lie of a reply.

It is possible the manner and type of hoodie she was wearing may have caused her to be PROFILED.

WTF ?

It is my opinion that you deserve the neg reps for that "she had it coming for the way she was dressed" post...(I won't bother though, the point has been made)

I never said she deserved it. Some forum members keep posting that and people are echoing it like I did say that.

If you do not want to be profiled by thug cops do not wear the gangsta hoodie.

I agree with you jmdrake. People will however judge you and treat you based on your appearance. I do not believe that is justification to do so.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Another obvious comparison is you do not walk into a really bad area at night decked out in diamonds and gold. Cops are no different, behave and dress like a criminal around them and they may attack you.

They may attack you, regardless of what you are wearing, driving, doing or saying.

More and more, it seems to make no difference, these motherfuckers are running amok, and will beat down anybody that looks sideways at them.

 

[pcosmar]

or base ball caps.
Ganstas wear hats..

Or a Bandana,, or a T-shirt.
lots of thugs wear T-shirts.

Remember to never be seen in anything but your state approved uniform.
personal style or comfort is suspicious.

WTF is a Gansta Hoodie? and how can I tell it from all my other hoodies..

 

[klamath]

I don't generally neg rep, but he deserved more than one for that.

Between the cops and the criminals (sorry to be redundant), it might be a good idea to wear tactical clothing to keep these people out. Full length dress, full corset with strings and buttons, overalls under the dress with a lock on the buttonholes, full body leotard--then maybe I'm geared up enough to not be "asking for it?"

And a locked chastity belt too keep from getting cop raped.

 

[Anti Federalist]

It is possible the manner and type of hoodie she was wearing may have caused her to be PROFILED.

Negative.

She got "profiled", or more correctly, got targeted to get fucked up, because she did not immediately, cheerfully and humbly comply with the cops orders to produce her papers.

She rightly questioned why she needed to produce papers in a "free country".

That is not permitted, and it vexed the people that are placed among us to fuck us up.

And so, they fucked her up.

I agree with all this. I am just saying anything that you can do to avoid thugs including thugs that are cops are in your own best interest.

I just watched the video when I posted that and got the impression they are not treating her like a Mom, they are treating her like a thug based on profiling.

Like I said and you are saying with those two cops it may not have made any difference and they may have taken her down in that manner anyway.

Do you or don't you think hoodies are gangsta?You,not people,have called hoodies 'gangsta attire' many times in this thread.

AF posted the weather that day,the high temp was 44 degrees.Any day that the high is 44,I'm wearing a hoodie.

 

[kahless]

Here ya go...you're almost at the bottom.

LOL. I stand by it. You continue to deny that cops and people profile?

btw - I am finished with this thread. I will leave you with my first two comments with the offending part removed.

What kind of savage animals treats a mother in front of their children in this manner.

I do not agree with the treatment and the cavity search is rape,..

... she did not deserve what happened to her.

 

[pcosmar]

The problem is not with the Hoodie.. or long hair.. or a leather jacket.. A greaser hair-do..cigarette pack in a shirt sleeve..Tye-Dyed T-shirt Etc,etc.

The problem is with Police.

and beyond that,, with rampant FEAR that makes any and everybody suspicious of everything.

[Henry Rogue]

I sincerely hope that this family successfully sues the hell out of those thugs, masquerading as police. The female thug should be charged with molestation and more.

There is no masquerade, this is what they do, this is what they are.

 

[cajuncocoa]

LOL. I stand by it. You continue to deny that cops and people profile?

Are you asking me, or are you telling me that I "continue to deny"?

I'm not denying anything. People, including cops, profile all the time. And when we stereotype people, we find that we're frequently wrong; people are individuals and don't always fit the profile we've created for them.

But you're equivocating from your original statement where you said she should have "dressed like a lady."

I do not agree with the treatment and the cavity search is rape, but this is an example of how not to draw the wrong attention to yourself. If you are going to wear a hoodie like a gangster you risk being treated like one in society.

I am not saying it is right, but maybe if she dressed like a lady they would have treated her like one or not. Regardless she did not deserve what happened to her.

That amounts to blaming the victim. I thought we would have evolved from that way of thinking.

Ain't that the truth? I've been profiled for certain at least 3 times in my life. None of the times was I wearing a hoodie. All of the time I was wearing my brown skin. The last time I am certain it was because I looked at the cops too long. The area where I was living wasn't so much a neighborhood as it was a semi-rural road. Some homes were really nice. Some were middle class. Some were trailers. A black couple had recently built a very nice house (about $800K in value from the looks of it...which is a lot for middle Tennessee) and the police later took the husband down in a major police raid. (It turns out that it was a big mistake. Or at least the father never went to prison). I was driving by on my way to a law school exam (wasn't wearing my Vandy hoodie as it was way to hot), and passed an unmarked car sitting one driveway down from the house that got busted. I looked a little too long as I drove by and was pulled over. Two or three other similar cop cars pulled up as well. They gave me some cockamamie story about how my vehicle matched the description of someone that had been burglarizing the area. (There had been no recent reports of burglaries.) I told the cops I was late for a law school exam. That didn't do any good. (I wish I had gone to work for the DAs office just so I could screw with these jokers later). Anyhow it all ended fine for me. (They didn't find my pocket constitution. ) But yeah. Stare too long and they'll come after you...hoodie or no hoodie.
