How about charging this jerk with making a false report?

[dandiegirl]

This happened recently in a Dallas suburb. A black city councilman tried to claim he was racially profiled for being black and having dreadlocks when he got pulled over for going 55 in a 35, acting horrible to the officer and refusing to sign the ticket. The bodycam showed the true story.

>>Is the entire NAACP made up of “Reverend’s”? Just asking...<<

Yes.

The only criterion for the title is to apply it to yourself so, why not?

Wouldn’t you like to be a Reverend, too?

[VanDeKoik]

I remember when I thought cops having to use bodycams was an insult. Just part of the attitude that police were dishonest.

Holy crap! That was a stupid view considering that just a few years later we have BLM and the cult of the fabricated incidents on social media!

Now I want EVEN MORE cams. Have even mini camera drones that accompany them. Make them all HD or 4K and mic them up with surround sound mics!

"...it's just troubling to me that someone who held a position like that would come out and just tell a lie...

Well, DUH!! You're slow, chief. That's been happening for decades.

This is deliberate. Many on the left, including these race-baiting pimps, have a financial and political stake in maintaining this madness. They’re not there to resolve issues of race, they’re there to proliferate and fan the flames of racial hate by any means necessary. Lying is one of their key weapons in their arsenal. It’s why the left is so enamored of Mohammadans and their taqiyya, they both do the same thing.

Do not hamstring those to keep you out of trouble.

I wasn't hamstringing. I would prefer a few more people who don't use their signals would get pulled over and at least given a warning.

Moreover, if the cop only saw the car from the back, and saw that it turned without signalling, and it’s dark out, and the windows look to be tinted.... there’s no way the cop knew the driver was black till he walked up to the window.

Why, everybody knows pastors never lie dontcha know.

[ThunderSleeps]

I watched that video. That's about as polite of a police stop as you could reasonably ask for. The officer didn't ticket him for failing to signal - technically a traffic violation. Didn't ticket him for having the wrong plate on the car - another violation. He got off easy, and relatively quickly. If that had been me, when the officer handed me back my license and paperwork, I'd have said thank you and shook his hand - and been at the DMV the next morning to fix the plate issue, not making false accusations.

The NAACP guy was just trying to get a little fame and stay in the game - "oh, I'm black, I'm an NAACP leader, I've got to carry the water, keep the message out there that we're being oppressed and targeted, else no-one will listen to me..." That guy is the north end of a southbound horse.

"How DARE you pull me over! You in a heap of trouble when I report you for racial profiling!"

[ontap]

I beleive a large percentage of these claims are outright lies.

Body cams were supposed to cut down on police brutality, and so they do. :)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Booker T. Washington knew the score a long time ago.

The NAACP has done more to damage the Black family than anyone other than the government.

[Herman Ball]

In this country today even meeting most cars you do not know the color of the driver because of tinted windows. In 30 years I never recalled even caring what color a driver was,may be a description was given out but even then it was a certain color or type car.

The Rev’s a liar.

But the story shouldn’t even be news. Profiling is a useful tool. Smart people do it all the time.

Yep...keep em barefoot and pregnant
