I feel this should be a thing too/r/racecarddenied

Seriously, what kind of muppet walks along with traffic? Love the whole entitled response about her being profiled, 'hey guys, I'm just a tiny black girl who was almost raped at gun point'. I bet if this wasn't shown, she would've been on the cover of Black Folk Weekly, and had a five page pull out of her traumatic encounter that resulted in her feeling raped.

As for being profiled, her skin was completely covered, I doubt they could've saw the colour of her skin when her clothes had her covered up, she even had her hood up (no pun intended). They could only see her from behind.

[–]0833Josh40 points 10 years ago* [recovered] (5 children) | Copy Link

Yep, she's just using the more recent racial tension between cops and black people to get attention. Seriously, these days people seem to be screaming racism or oppresion anytime something negative happens to them.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points16 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Playing a victim of your identity is a great way for some to excuse themselves from their inexcusable acts. Media drives the racial tensions and adds more conflict than it does resolutions. It's a shame and I'm not saying racial profiling doesn't happen, but if society calls you on your bullshit and you jump to the race card, then you are a selfish person and an idiot. Sadly this is a growing problem, especially amongst our black youth because they are taught that this is a sure fire way to get ahead in life and avoid taking responsibility.

[–]soapgoat 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

its the only thing that kinda makes me glad we are moving to a more surveillance culture with cameras and drones and shit everywhere

sure our privacy in public is being destroyed but it will also destroy people lying to get attention like this lady

it would make a whole lot of drama and "he said she said" bullshit go away very quickly when there is evidence to prove the actual truth every time

[–]thelordofcheese 13 points14 points15 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Which is hilarious because it actually is making people more racist and sexist. Self-fulfilling prophecy. These people are cancer. Fucking SJWs.

[–]cmdrchris971 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It's quite sad really, because one day the weak and vulnerable won't be able to cry wolf anymore. People won't be able to hide behind legality, and media attention. One day things will go back to being primal. That day is coming far sooner than we think.

[–]SavvySillybug 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I was driving home in my dad's Mercedes once, turned into a small side street, and found this guy walking in the middle of the road, not paying attention. Had this huge backpack on, not sure why, but the stuff you'd take camping. I rolled up behind him, he just kept walking in front of me, not noticing my car. I thought, flash my lights at him? No, he wouldn't see that. Honk at him? Residential area, might disturb someone in their home.

Then I knew what to do. Kicked down the clutch, and then the gas. ROOOOOAR! goes the mighty Mercedes. Weird dude looks back, terrified that there's a roaring car a meter behind him, and jumps behind a parked car, full speed "oh my god I need to dodge this", not realizing I wasn't even moving. I laughed and drove off.

I still don't know what he thought what he was doing, but I hope he respects roads more now.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The sub would be instantly banned from reddit for being rayyycist

[–]ImOP_need_nerf 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I've always wanted to believe that technology will bring us more good than evil, and this is encouraging. Cop cams are definitely a good idea, and quite possible these days even per officer. This will protect the cops as much as those they are detaining or interacting with. Watch the numbers of police brutality claims plummet, both because people are less willing to lie, and because cops are more likely to hold back.

[–]bloodshot_eyes 67 points68 points69 points 10 years ago (22 children) | Copy Link

For someone who is so concerned with being "profiled", she sure seems to have an axe to grind with anyone who wears a badge.

[–]beavissimpson-29 points 10 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

This comment displays bad understanding of logic. "Someone who is so concerned with being "profiled"" probably WOULD have an axe to grind with the cops. It's like seeing Lebron James and saying "For someone who plays in the NBA, he sure seems tall." Yeah he is tall, but not for someone who plays in the NBA.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Bit rich for someone who completely missed the point on his comment.

[+]electronicoffee -92 points-91 points-90 points 10 years ago (19 children) | Copy Link

Cops are generally uneducated bigots mad with power. So yeah, there's a reason most people (and esp black folk) hate cops. They are thugs.

[–]The_Seed_In_Tweed50 points 10 years ago [recovered] (8 children) | Copy Link

What a sweeping generalisation!

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

What!?!?

Make if assumptions about the character of an individual because of there race is nothing like making assumptions about someone because of there job

/s

[–]ghastlyactions -3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That's actually correct. Nobody chooses to be black, people choose their job. You can tell a good but about someone who chooses to be a soldier, you can't tell anything beyond physical appearance by skin color. So yes, they're nothing alike.

[+]electronicoffee -65 points-64 points-63 points 10 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

No, it's not. On the AVERAGE, most cops are scumbags. Not all, but most.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 10 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Wow, I know several of my college educated friends who became cops. Your mentality is incredibly toxic

[+]electronicoffee -60 points-59 points-58 points 10 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Yeah and a handful of good men in an ocean of villains means nothing. It's called anecdotal evidence, you fucking dumbshit. What a fucking brainless copsucker you are. Do you swallow their loads too?

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points17 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No, I think YOU need to provide evidence since YOU'RE the one making the claim. First of all if cops are doing good work that won't get media attention. If something bad happens it does. Only 17% of people cops are legally allowed to kill are killed.

You call other people dipshits but you're making a generalization of most officers. By your logic all Muslims are terrorists that support Sharia Law.

Keep shouting your insults it's not going to make your dick any bigger. I've had my encounter with police all of them were decent people. I have plenty of friends who should have gotten arrested and punished but we're let go because the cops have no interest in ruining their lives. People like you are the prime example how drugs can fuck up someone's brain

[–]werter375 7 points8 points9 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

"An ocean of villians"? Really? Just because you might have had a bad experience with a cop doesn't mean they are mostly bad. Not even close.

[–][deleted] 71 points72 points73 points 10 years ago (21 children) | Copy Link

This shit is why I only associate with a small group of people and I don't have a job that deals directly with the public. There will be no repercussions for her, and she's probably sticking to her story of being profiled. The way I see it, when you walk in the road flapping your arms like a bird, it's going to be addressed! if anything, they were profiling someone they thought should be 5150'ed.

Pulling the race card is no different than a woman who cries rape...unless there is video to prove otherwise, the person being accused will be branded a racist by society.

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points37 points 10 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Also... she had her hood up soo how could we even be sure the cops didn't think it was someone white when they stopped?

[–]thelordofcheese 23 points24 points25 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Because black people walk like this...

[–]meatpony 10 points11 points12 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man: no time to talk. Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around Since I was born. And now it's all right. It's OK. And you may look the other way. We can try to understand The New York Times' effect on man.

No really. What the fuck are you talking about? She's in her own neighborhood exercising. She can't move her arms up and down? Are you fucking kidding me?

The police are here to make sure people don't walk funny in public? Give me a fucking break.

[–]xgenoriginal 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I understand what you are saying, but she looks fucking ridiculous with the way she walks.

Doesn't matter if you are black/white, male/female/not sure, old/young....flailing your arms like that while walking will get you strange looks from me and the rest of society.

[–]texture -1 points0 points1 point 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

"And I pay lots of taxes too". What a cunt. Isn't her job funded by taxpayers?

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

She was grasping for straws. She even made the comment about how one of them mentioned how their dog doesn't like rain either and how that was offensive. Get over yourself, she was stirring the pot for the sake of stirring it.

[–]sammyhere 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

doesnt really matter tbh, everyone working a job pretty much pays taxes unless its under the table work

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Cops stop her to tell her she should be walking on the other side of the road. She didn't get a ticket, didn't get talked down to or anything. But yet she decided to turn NOTHING into something... What the fuck? I wish I could have seen the comments on her Facebook post before it got taken down.

Over 100 likes and comments probably all bashing the Police and telling her that she shouldn't tolerate that from anyone. I wonder if those 100 people are still following her after they see the other side of the story?

I love when people blindly agree with someone without hearing the other side, I see that shit all the time.

"Just got home to find that my ex-husband ran away with the kids so the police are looking for him now."

Comments all say things like "I hope they jail him." "What a scum bag."

Then you see his status:

"Dropped the kids off an hour late tonight because I had to buy shoes for Tiffany as her mother lied and told me she bought her shoes. I called Diane and told her I was going to be late and left a message I then texted her to tell her. My iPhone shows that Diane saw the message. I dropped Tiffany off at 8:00 pm on Sunday when normally I drop her off at 7:00 pm. I get home and two cops are waiting at my house. They told me that my ex wife had called them 2 hours ago and then she just called 5 minutes ago to tell them I went home with kidnapped Tiffany. I showed the police my receipt for the shoes and showed them the text. They were pissed to see that she saw the message and then called the police a minute later. So thank you all for the rude messages. I don't like to air my laundry out on Facebook but you all KNOW me and you all KNOW Diane, and that's all I have to say about that. Look in tomorrow's paper in the Police reports and you'll see she has now gotten a citation for this incident."

But it isn't race related, she just wants it to be.... They had no idea she was black, she was just impeding traffic while acting like a bird person.

[–]Amunium 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That's the point. This sub is about women trying to use the fact that they are women to get out of something. Here she's trying to use her skin colour to get out of something. Doesn't matter that the cops didn't know.

[–]ScudstockI'm kind of a smug prick. So... 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, I understand. It doesn't really belong in the sub, but I figured I'd still call her out since I already watched the dang thing.

[–]thelordofcheese 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, on HER end. She's a hypocritically sexist racist and she thinks she gets special privileges (and society does give them to her) because she can make false accusations which most people will believe because they're fucking idiots.

'For a sanity check, I stopped by the mayor’s house and asked him, “Do I look like a criminal?” Mayor Bill Heidemann said no and shook his head in disbelief. I appreciate the mayor being a good neighbor, but why should he need to verify that I am not a menace to society?'

He shouldn't. And didn't. You did, you racist pig. You needed him to verify that you aren't a menace to society. Which you are, according to this disgusting display.

I'm a white male. Twice I've had police officers drive up to me and ask me what I'm doing.

One time I was in a hurry and told them I lived in the area and was in a hurry to get to a meeting with some friends. I asked if I could help them with anything and gave them my name and address.

Another time I was in no hurry and simply walking down the sidewalk. I refused to answer any questions and gave no information. It took awhile longer while they continued to ask me what I was doing. I was calm and courteous and eventually they told me to go.

Fact of the matter is, you never know what kind of person or person's mood you're going to get. While I try to not be a pushover, I tend to live by the motto: "Don't fuck with people with guns on their hip"

so, I can see both sides of this. The police were polite, and had a real interest in stopping her to tell her its safer to walk on the other side of the road. However, why do the police need her ID for this? While she probably shouldn't have gone on the racial tyranny parade, I too would be a little concerned that a police officer asks me for my ID when the only thing i've done wrong is walk on the wrong side of the road.

Not saying, she is right because ultimately i think the cops did their job just fine, but I get the whole frustration with having to show ID for no real reason. (in my view, putting a name on the report is stupid. Why does there need to be a report for telling someone to walk on the other side of the road?)

[–]cmdrchris971 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They never demanded for her to show an ID. They simply asked if she had it on her person and once she denied they backed off. If there is a way police should act, this is it.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Honestly, in this case, it's literally to document why they made a stop. Dispatch has to keep a running log of what they are doing. No it doesn't have to be as detailed as every street they turn on or when they take a sip of coffee, but when they stop to talk to a civilian, even as just a courtesy or safety issue, it needs to be documented in the log. Especially if it's on camera. God forbid something big turned up from this, and it wasn't documented, at the very least, those two's superior would've chewed there assess for not "calling it in". Redtape and all.

Moreover, you never know when the guy you stop to say "hey, just wanna give you a warning that your brake light is out", actually has warrants out for murder in 3 different states.

[–]cycophuk 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Chief Walthall said the officers were correct to ask for identification because Ms. Bland had committed a Class C misdemeanor by impeding traffic, Fox News reported.

“It is part of the standard procedure,” Chief Walthall said. “There’s a legitimate purpose for doing so. She [Bland] did commit a misdemeanor. I want our officers checking IDs on every person they encounter in situations such as this.”

Ah ok. I just didn't know at what point it changed over from a "hey...you mind walking a little closer to the sidewalk" heads up to a determined misdemeanor offense.

[–]cycophuk 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I think what prompted them running the check was that they witnessed a truck have to drive around her because she was walking in the street.

Nope, there isn't. Which is why she wasn't arrested.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I think background check is the wrong term, it's more like running her driver's license without the drivers license. They radio in her name and DOB and someone on the other end looks her up and confirms her address and that she doesn't have any warrants. It's seems pretty standard to ask for ID in most police encounters, though I'm not familiar with Texas law, she may not have been obligated to tell them anything. Given her attitude it surprises me she didn't get pissy with the request, but she is a university Dean and she probably enjoyed throwing that in their faces.

[–]GodOfThunder44 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link

just curious but why was she given a background check?

Pretty standard procedure whenever the police stop someone. If, for instance, you were to be stopped for speeding, part of the process when the officer gets your license and registration is to go back to his cruiser and double check that there aren't any warrants out for your arrest. Since they didn't have her stopped in a car and didn't have her license to run through the system themselves they probably radioed it in so that they'd be informed in case there were any warrants out.

[–]TreyWalker 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Probably also a well-being alert. They had no way of knowing if she was mentally unstable. They felt concerned enough to stop her in the first place, might as well also make sure she's not a missing person.

Police will also routinely radio back person they're stopping as a matter of record.

In Texas (where this story came from) it's against the law to walk in the street if there's a pedestrian walkway, or if there isn't then you are supposed to only walk against the flow of traffic. She technically was breaking the law by walking where she was, but like most people, these cops were nice, so they simply told her to walk on the correct side of the road.

[–]prokiller 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

They simply told her to walk on the correct side of the road, and then SIMPLY asked her for her ID, name, and address.

They're cops, that's their procedure. This has already been explained multiple times in this thread. Not sure what crawled up your ass and died to make you this pissy over a cop asking a lady waving her arms around walking in the street who she is.

The officers reported a truck having to slow and go around her which prompted the stop. They asked her to move over checked she had no warrants and then were on their way. They could of issued a ticket if they wanted but they did not.

[–]beavissimpson-5 points 10 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

Would be pretty ridiculous of them to issue a ticket for obstructing traffic for one car having to go around her.

Fair question for non police to ask. Others have explained it here, but in addition, as a cop, the last thing you want is to get back to a station without having done a check at the side of the road to find out the person was wanted for something and you've just let them go. It's embarrassing as fuck.

[–]rounced 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Pretty common practice for officers to try and run a check when they contact you. Can't speak for all jurisdictions, but you are not required to provide identification except in special circumstances (driving is one in many places).

[–]adrienr 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Driving is different because every traffic stop is a detention. You are legally obligated to follow their commands in a traffic stop.

[–]rounced 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You are legally obligated to follow their commands in a traffic stop.

Again, I can't speak for all jurisdictions, but this is not always the case.

As an example, where I live you are under no obligation to, say, open your trunk for an officer just because they ask you to. Having said that, they can ask you to, and you can comply, but you do not have to. They are allowed to open it themselves if they have a reasonable justification for doing so, but in that case, they aren't asking you.

Handing over your ID is generally required regardless of the reason they stopped you though.

[–]adrienr 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Right because opening your trunk would be searching your property. If they tell you to get out, stand over there, sit on the curb, etc. You are required to. This does not change between jurisdictions.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (19 children) | Copy Link

Most departments have a policy of running warrant checks on all civilian contactees, since that is how a lot of bad guys with warrants get caught.

But in a traffic stop (as in say a person walking in the street the wrong way and obstructing traffic) they have already temporarily detained someone under probable cause and it is actually department policy to record their ID and run it for warrants. It's their JOB.

Cops try to act like they are your friends, they aren't. I understand that they have a job to do and deal with the dregs of society, but for running 3 feet into the road flapping your arms, you shouldn't have to identify yourself to a police officer. Fuck that and fuck them.

She wasn't profiled; they couldn't tell what race she was from behind. So it certainly would have happened the same way if she'd been white.

But she has a legitimate beef about getting stopped for a trivial reason and asked for ID. That doesn't happen in a civilized country.

And she didn't provoke anything by recording the police. I would, too, and I'm white and male.

What a lot of people on the Right don't seem to get is, there is no such thing as a voluntary police encounter. (Unless the civilian sought out the cop in the first place.)

The only person even insinuating that video taping the police could have caused problems was the person doing the video taping. She even stated they had no problem with it. You know that police departments are not some vigilante justice groups bent on local domination. Just like any other job they have rules to follow and policy to uphold. Yes there are cops that should not be in that job or allowed to carry a weapon but the majority of police are good people. The whole reason you have I'd is to verify your identity. So what is there to have beef about when it is being used for its intended purpose? Ya if you were getting stopped daily or weekly or even monthly it would be a problem but she was stopped one time. It is not a big deal. There is probably not a civilized country that does not have stop and ask policy.
