PS: Couldn't find an equal video on Youtube to post properly.

1. Very useful information. Thanks for posting this.
The video is ACLU explaining very clearly (with demonstrations) what are our rights in encounters with police and how to assert those rights without escalating the situation. Discusses auto/traffic stops, street encounters, and police coming to the house.

Everybody should see this.

3. Hey, my recommendation on this thread disappeared, but it won't let me rec again.
So I'm kicking this in hopes it doesn't sink too fast to be seen.

6. Timely advice
While I agree with Obama's initial reaction that the police acted stupidly, professor Gates would have benefited from following the advice in the video.

8. My guess is that Gates did follow these guidelines more than we think
No matter what though...

If you rub most officers wrong they WILL find a way to make things difficult for you.
