Quote:So if I'm reading this right, smh, I'm suppose to let a police officer arrest me, book me, and then pay, i mean, fight for my rights for doing no wrong just because someone in the area said a black man was threatening people.  In that case then police should just stay in mostly black areas and just wait for a reason to start harassing African Americans, OH WAIT.

 

I'm just speechless with human beings right now.  Again it shows the problem is deeper than Old School racism, because the new school just says do what the police say no matter what.  Even though, its the minorities and the city's last thought about neighborhoods that take much of the fall.  Just shows that if it isn't an immediate threat to them or anyone they give a d--- about then OH WELL.  Just listen to what they say and it'll be ok, lmbo, like the Justice System isn't/hasn't been screwing us over for years whether we get a chance to fight in court or not; but i guess as long as the violence slows down then back to normal life's business as usual. 

 

Either way, as African Americans were screwed.  It's always been in the Justice System and now they just kill us for whatever at random and even during times where white people have done far more life threatening things with weapons included and gotten vip treatment before arrest.  What? they stop getting caught or recorded and then its back to waiting to see how the courts will try and ... Point is, the Justice system hasn't been taking a massive turn for the better for African Americans and now even in Death its a HUGE lack of concern to make an immediate change just excuses.  Its crazy because even though its a Proven Fact that we get more time for the same exact crimes, people have been saying for decades that we should just not get arrested and we wont have to worry about it instead of trying to make a change.  Why think it's going to be any different even if we are being slaughtered on camera because we dont just lay down.  Mind you we aren't fighting and attacking police before they shoot in these videos but we "Sort of" deserved it when a white man can pull out a loaded weapon and not even get touched.  Just let black police start killing unarmed whites on camera and see how many excuses are made for that.  That'll really be the day. SMH, its no longer verbal racism, its just people being disgusting and showing the true worth of their own being and smiling in your face like oh well, same thing if you die too and didn't listen.  I"m on the verge of why shouldn't they just shoot first if the end result will be he didn't listen so i shot him 5 times to kill him then got the gun for him.

Your first paragraph was so ignorant I didn't bother reading the rest of your post. Yet, I feel a need to reply.


To answer your question, if you're arrested you comply. You comply whether your innocent or guilty. You comply whether you're black white or green. One thing you don't do is "test" an officer. Then you'll add more charges or possibly get shot and killed depending on what you do. Try proving you're innocence when you add resisting arrest and whatever else they throw on it.


Here is a story I found humorous about a man "testing" an officer. Don't worry, no one dies.


I know an officer that works for a large railroad headquartered out of Jacksonville. One morning on his way into work he noticed a vehicle driving at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic. so the railroad police officer pulls him over simply to tell him to slow it down and be careful so he doesn't get himself or anyone else killed. This man proceeds to tell the officer he has no jurisdiction in the area, that he's a rent a cop and not able by law to pull him over. Well, this officer doesn't carry a ticket book since that's not really what RR officers get into. So he radios FHP. FHP arrives and hands the RR officer a ticket book. The FHP officer then proceeds to the man sitting in his car and says "Just so you know, He (meaning the RR officer) has just as much, if not more, authority than I do. Have a nice day!"


The moral of the story is don't test th police. It won't end well
