Jasmyne: Hey fam, I have an update on a story. Remember the Black man who was bringing in his trash can when the #LAPD kidnapped him after a white woman called 911 on her white boyfriend? Today a judge removed the protective order on the video the LAPD didn't want you to see. https://t.co/03oKCQDb3P
AirForceVet:The cops zeroed in on him because he was black from the conversation they had as they pulled up and before they opened their vehicle doors.
blastoh:lolmao500: Is it me or the LAPD are the most violent, most corrupt cops in the US?
It seems like a west coast thing TBH.
California cops in general. Incredibly high pay, the most protective laws and contracts, and the strongest culture of "cops don't write cops" in the country.

"It is racial profiling. They had no description of the suspect - a completely blank slate," said attorney Faisal Gill, who represents both of them in the civil rights lawsuit. "They literally saw the first Black man, and they arrested him." The LAPD declined Tuesday to comment on the video's release, citing ongoing litigation. The L.A. city attorney's office, in court papers, has sought to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that Austin and Michlewicz are to blame for the force used against them and that the police should be immune from liability.
/The beatings will continue until morale improves...
We should boycott the winter Olympics in China because of this.........Oh wait /Moral high ground my ass. The US is just as scummy. //I had to worry about shiat like this my whole life, and what's really farked, is that I will have to worry about this till I'm farking dead
Literally, they reached for the cuffs before talking with the fella. They'd decided that this was "probably" the guy, based on...garbage bags? Walking on the street? A marked lack of a screaming woman who was supposed to be in a domestic assault situation? Put a white kid in the same shirt, and the same pants and they would have simply asked, "do you know where 30 Rosemont is, sir" because they didn't seem to have a good idea where they were going.
Cannot blame the kid for getting scared, real fast, because if I was taking out my trash, and two cops just jumped me looking to pin a domestic incident against a white woman...well, yeah, this is what black fathers warn their sons about.

I came to say something similar, so thank you for saving me some time. Am so tired of this BS. Where I live it is still dark (about 6am), and I do need to take out the trash. Thing is, I'm all sorts of white. Not even the NOPD is gonna f*ck with me.
