(492 posts)I can't tell from the video whether the poor s.o.b. understands that his treatment was no different than the treatment non-whites suffer daily. He might only be enraged because the "this" that is happening in America shockingly -- in his case -- seems to include white people.
The truly depressing thing here is that he was actually doing no more than insisting on his rights as an American -- and the cops clearly didn't give a damn. All they saw was some wise guy giving them a hard time and refusing to do what they told him to do. The cops acted like gang members -- which is apparently how they see themselves -- not public servants hired and trained to protect the citizenry. These guys laugh at the notion of the Constitution, of "we, the people." And I'm sure they found it hysterical that this white guy thought he could mouth off to them without getting beat up. Dear Pastor: when a gang banger tells you to empty your pockets, you had better empty your pockets. And these uniformed gang bangers almost certainly hassle and rough up people on a regular basis. Your misfortune was being the token white person they chose to victimize on that particular day.
Pastor, if you see the light and begin preaching the truth of what you just experienced to your congregation, reminding them that Christ preached that all men and women are his brothers and sisters, and urging them to open their hearts, you may yet end up in paradise. Maybe you could participate in or even sponsor marches for civil rights, embracing your brothers and sisters of other races and ethnicity? Think about it.
On the other hand, if you remain blind after your experience, you can go to hell.
