I’m going to need some proof beyond your word that “stop and frisk” was occurring in DTSS. |
Wtf could you ghouls cool it a bit on the thread about the absolutely tragic death of a man out to dinner with his family? |
FYI, I am very obviously white and when I was in my late 20s, I was pulled over three times in Moco in the span of three years for pretextual reasons: (1) light over license plate had gone out, (2) not coming to a complete stop before making a right turn on red (I actually did), and (3) one cop pulled me over, and then was quickly joined by two others who all surrounded me; but they never gave me any explanation and let me go after about 15 minutes. No tickets for any of this (well, I was issued a notice to get the license plate light fixed, and I had to have it signed by a police officer at a police station once I completed the repair). Each time, I fully complied with the officers and went on my way. Pretextual stops can happen to anyone. Just comply with the officer instructions if you have really done nothing wrong; it's not that hard. |
White woman in bethesda. I’ve been pulled over twice. Once because I didn’t come to a compete stop at a stop sign. The other time because I was pulling over into the shoulder and the officer (who was actually very young and very nice) thought that was illegal driving on the shoulder.
We definitely have a police presence around here so I don’t know why people think we don’t. I guess they can send all those extra officers from Silver spring over here to police. |
Is this similar to the Republican line that we're not allowed to discuss gun control after a school shooting? |
Lol 2 whole time |
So you agree they happen in Montgomery county. So you now know why it’s so dangerous because black people comply and die and white people fight and don’t die. You stayed safe because you were white. Also 3x is not a lot in 3 years, shows how easy it is to be white in moco. It’s actually funny you wrote it like 3 was a lot. |
Nope. Route 1 is pretty safe... much safer than many parts of Wheaton and SS. Heck, Chevy Chase had a shooting outside Clydes. That stuff isn't happening in Cheverly and Mount Rainier. |
Nobody has died in MoCo from a traffic stop. |
Yes. It’s how police stop drivers suspected of other crimes so they can question them . It’s how they’ve gotten more than 1,000 guns off the streets this year . |
Umm, I didn't fight. Sorry that you think fighting is an appropriate way to handle a police encounter. I was polite and respectful, even when three cop cards surrounded me for no reason. I stayed safe because I didn't fight. BTW, I have had more times that I have been pulled over since then. The three I first described were all from when I first moved here. Since then, I was pulled over for being passed due on the emissions test (I never got the notice). Another time, one of my headlights was out and I hadn't realized it. Oh, and once in downtown SS, a cop even stopped me for jaywalking and gave me a lecture, even though the two-lane road was totally free from cars. No tickets for any of these. Can you provide a cite to any instance in Moco where a black person complied with officer instructions, wasn't displaying a weapon, and died? I know there's a narrative that white people are not pulled over for stupid stuff, but it happens. I don't care. |
Again thanks for showing your white guy ignorance. Are you saying nobody has been unlawfully beaten? Unlawfully detained? Jailed without cause and left there because they can’t afford bail and lost their job, then their house? Keep going maybe by the end of this you’ll have a little bit of an education. |
Yes I can thousands of them over the past 25 years. Go to a cop bar and you could too hon. Not died but beaten, jailed without cause, lost a few teeth, lost their job, eventually their house. Come on Polly Anna! |
Different poster here. Can you provide some evidence of these thousands in 25 years? Also, where is the cop bar in Montgomery County? I’m friends with several officers and I’ve never heard them talk of going there. - been pulled over 4-5 times in the past decade for what I considered trivial, but I was in the wrong |
You stayed safe because you’re White and didn’t fight. There are plenty of eyewitness accounts and even video that show Black, Latino, and Indigenous drivers not fighting and being beaten or even killed. |
