I have to say that I have often used the median to reach an open left hand turn lane. Never had a cop pull me over for it, and it's very unlikely that it would happen to a white guy like me.
Regarding the black guy's view of his predicament, I have to say that his attitude about the stop was clearly upbeat. No doubt, he has accepted his condition, and he worked positively to see the event through without a scene. One has to ask though, are blacks being targeted for the slightest perceived infraction? If we were to consider what has been going on in the community of Ferguson, MO for some time, the police were very discriminating in who they were pulling over. |

There is no causal relationship between the traffic stops of two different cops--unless they both work for the same Department and had the same training. Saying that we need to do something about police brutality, and the illegitimacy that it creates, by no means says that all cops are brutal. You need to learn to have two different but related concepts in your mind, and realize it is not merely an either/or choice.
Constantly amusing, however. |
Where's the mirror!?!
Good grief, nice try. |

Nope, a sprained finger that I got sailing 2 days before (I have no idea how it happened) kept me out of the water. But I'm good to go today,,,,, sort of, with the help of some tape. |
