34. I heard that on the way home on a black talk show yesterday afternoon

Jun 2015

that when they did a car stop on him and questioned him, they then "escorted" him to the police car without handcuffs. He was treated with kid gloves because by golly, unless you are black and pulled over for a traffic stop because it is assumed that you are an armed and dangerously savage animal, you are assumed "innocent" despite being a confirmed armed (a gun was in his car) and dangerous white murderer fitting an APB, because you are carrying out your supreme right to drive where you want and own a gun.

The host and caller had a back and forth about why he wasn't:

1.) Thrown up against the car and searched
2.) Tased because he appeared to be "a threat" and was "resisting arrest" when told to hold still while involuntarily jerking around when jolted with the taser and kicked
3.) Handcuffed after being roughly face-planted into the cement, dragged to his feet, and shoved head-first into the top of the doorway before being stuffed into the back of the police car
4.) Given a "rough ride" (or "Nickel Ride&quot on the way to the station

The one thing I do give credit to is the lady who spotted him, took time to tail him, and reported him to the police.
