Bill Belicheck frowns on you.
You're obviously not reading the posts...
Yeah that too!
Even my dog is alerted by men in hoodies. Even more so if they wear dark glasses. Without a little restraint she would do a little stop and frisk.
People need to be aware of the image they project. Hunched over in a hoodie, wearing dark glasses and your hands in the pockets doesn’t give another observer a warm and fuzzy feeling. More like cross over to the other side of the street feeling. It is part of the lost civility in our society. Why do people want to copy the worst traits of our society?
But then, you have eight grand kids. My sister teaches elementary school and she talks to everyone like they are third graders, so I guess it is the atmosphere.
Ditto. No more fleece with a house full of cats. Underarmour hoodies shed hair and have not worn out with repeated washes. A tad expensive, but so is fleece if you have to replace it every couple of years. Underarmour hoodies are also good for layering in cold weather.
Yes, and long overdue.
yup. Sounds like a good call. Will have to read through the entire ruling. I hope they appeal it to the supreme court. This would be a good one to apply nationwide.
While routinely patrolling a high-crime area on a mild September afternoon, Omaha police officer Paul Hasiak saw a person later identified as Fonta M. Jones walking across a church parking lot wearing a long-sleeved hooded sweatshirt and “clutching the front area of his hoodie pocket with his right hand.”Cop ought to get a medal.Jones watched as the marked police cruiser drove by. The officers drove around the block and regained sight of Jones, still walking with his right hand clutching his front hoodie pocket in the same position. Officer Hasiak decided to stop and frisk Jones, who stopped walking when the cruiser pulled up.
Hasiak told Jones to place his hands behind his back and then moved behind Jones, secured his hands, and patted him down for weapons.
Jones was arrested when Hasiak found a 9-millimeter handgun in the front hoodie pocket and a loaded magazine in Jones’s back right pocket. When it was later determined that Jones had prior felony drug convictions, he was indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922.
Aren’t you the little police-state brownshirt!
me so sorry .... I didn’t even read the article. again ... so sorry.
......... and Yes I do wear a Hoodie on occasion.
hippie!
Just kidding. I should have read to article before I ever commented on it. Sorry.
Oh, dude, rule 1 when in a hole is "Stop digging"!
Raining: Water falling from the sky.
Reigning: Ruling as a monarch.
Reining [in]: Restraining, as when riding a horse.
In which case it wasn’t a valid stop-n-frisk, and the court was correct.
“You’re obviously not reading the posts... “
Boy, was I surprised. Good.
Cop ought to be thrown in jail.
'We' used to get stopped and FRISKED all the time just because we wore our 'Colors' (yep, I was in an 'Outlaw' MC Club). One day in winter, a 'nice' CPD Tactical Officer even went through my car truck without asking my permission after a stop.
(The stop was because he saw my Colors when he was behind me, no other reason.)
That Tactical Cop was a known p___k.
'We' had friends who were on the CPD and worked the same District, no one liked him)
“Even my dog is alerted by men in hoodies”
My dog is alerted by shadows on the wall and the wind blowing through trees. So what?
“You think this is unwarranted?”
Yes! Seeing someone clutch something is NOT probable cause. We do not walk the streets by the leave of cops.
“In which case it wasn’t a valid stop-n-frisk, and the court was correct.”
Yes, precisely.
Yes, it’s “reining”.
Damn homophones.
