[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line:  he really should have just complied. It really is that simple.

And the speed with which they criminally charged those poor officers?  It was solely to try to avoid the woke mobs from launching another “fiery but mostly peaceful riot.”  It’s a miscarriage of justice they were charged so fast.  They are being railroaded.[/quote]

Why do you all keep insisting on this BS. He was complying after the initial stop. Definitely as best he could to confusing directions. And they still tased him and continued to get rougher with him. It’s no wonder he ran at that point. His fight or flight instinct took over [/quote]

Being given, at times, contradictory commands doesn't justify active resistance. Everyone knows that you are hands go behind your back. [/quote]

DS (white) was a passenger in a luxury car driven by his friend (black). DS started recording the interaction because he got so frightened for his friend. The officer at his window was asking for license and registration along with questions about the owner of the car and the officer on the passenger side of the window kept telling him to keep his hands on the wheel.

DS said neither officer even acknowledged him or made any comments about his hands or movements in the car (like playing with his phone to start recording). DS was never detained. His friend was. They didn't cuff him but did make him exit the vehicle and set on the curb. DS was allowed to remain in the car until 2 more officers arrived and then they simply told him to go stand off to the side. They questioned him over and over if his friend was really his friend and said things "Listen, if there's something in the car, tell me now. You don't want to get jammed up because of this guy." "Is there nothing in the car or is there nothing you know of in the car? Again, if I find it, everyone is going to jail. Don't get jammed up over someone else."

Initial stop was because the officer said my son's friend weaved. Once they determined it was a teen driving and not an adult, they shifted. It turned into searching for drugs. His friend told them they couldn't search the vehicle and the officer said it didn't matter because they smelled weed and that gave them probable cause.

They were 4 minutes from our house when this happened. I was waiting in the driveway when they got back and there was zero weed smell in that car or on their clothes. I didn't think so because DS has terrible asthma and his friend is very clean-cut.  [/quote]

That is awful. Did you file a complaint? Please be an ally. You can complain just on behalf of your child’s treatment and impact of what he witnessed[/quote]

This is how they have treated teens from all races for decades. Same crap happened to me 20 years ago for being white driving through a rough neighborhood. I made a last minute turn into a neighborhood and they lit me up and shook down the car and made threats. Unless you are wealthy there is nothing you can do about it. Cops are on a power trip.[/quote]
