Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain

Re: Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain

You really call this obeying the law?

Also, found this. The cops allegedly didn't need probable cause? Any of the lawyers here know what case is being referenced, and if it can even be applied? The lawyer in the article works for the police union, so I'm not about to just take his word for it, since it doesn't seem right to me.

Reasonable suspicion allows the initial stop. Probable cause is necessary for the arrest.

He's phrasing it inarticulately, but my guess is he's going for the "it's illegal to resist even an illegal arrest" scenario. When Grey fled that potentially could be seen as something like interference with official acts or resisting arrest or some other offense of a similar nature, which then gave the cops probable cause to arrest him at that point even if they didn't have anything on him originally.

At the time he was obeying the law. There was no probable cause. I don't care what his rap sheet was. The police are supposed to need probable cause to stop you. Or do you want to do away with that legal requirement?

Did you read the second article? Someone thinks we already have done away with it...

And just so you aren't confused, I'm not defending the cops in this instance.

I remember in the first story I posted on this subject even the police department said the police officer did not have sufficient cause to make the stop.

Nobody has that I've read, yet that isn't stopping certain folks from crying wolf.


Don't look now but CNN reporting on a couple of positive gatherings that are going on.

Reporters on scene and live coverage no less!

Msnbc has joined priceless and all the others saying the coverage shouldn't be about the riots, just hours after they had major coverage of the riots.

And Obama talked about the riots! How dare he!

Re: Cops 2: Pay No Attention to the Rioters Behind the Curtain

There are lots of people who love these incidents -- and wait for them for an excuse to unleash a load of racist bile. They don't give two craps about the property damage (which happened to black people) or the personal injuries (ditto) or the trickle down effects of business closures, insurance hikes, drying up of retail services, etc. They just want a socially acceptable way to wail garbage that equates to the n word as loudly as they can.

Spot on.

Probably the day they named Ed Schultz as a headliner. Most of us in North Dakota were like, "wait a minute. The same Ed Schultz who could barely read high school basketball scores off a TelePrompTer, that Ed Schultz?"

MSNBC is supposedly the liberal answer to Faux "News" because of the prime time shows, but if you watch during the daytime it's almost as conservative as Faux. You think Mrs. Greenspan is spouting left-wing talking points? Never mind that the morning show is a former GOP congressman...
Have no idea if they've gotten better, but back when I was watching they had production values that would make high school A/V clubs blush.

I saw him on one of those "The More You Know" spots and something happened to his voice. And it wasn't good.

Mother of the Year speaks

"He gave me eye contact. And at that point, you know, not even thinking about cameras or anything like that. That's my only son and at the end of the day I don't want him to be a Freddie Gray," Toya Graham said, referencing the 25-year-old man who died after mysteriously sustaining severe spinal injuries in police custody earlier in the month. His death has sparked protests throughout the city, with tensions boiling over.

"There's some days that I'll shield him in the house just so he won't go outside and I know that I can't do that for the rest of my life," said Graham. "I'm a no-tolerant mother. Everybody that knows me, know I don't play that."

It's that reputation that made her son wince the second he saw her. "He knew he was in trouble," said Graham. "He said when 'I seen you,' he said, 'ma, my instinct was to run.'" Graham says after she got her son home they both watched news coverage of the demonstrations and riots on television. As images of her reaction started to go viral, Graham says comments started appearing on her son's Facebook page, many in support of her. "Friends and everybody making comments and saying you know, you shouldn't be mad at your mother, you should give her a hug," said Graham.

Graham hopes the incident will serve as a teachable moment for her son.

did you know 50% of the children of the Mayflower settlers were born out of wedlock?

So I guess they couldn't have been seasick all the time? And it appears that there was some friggin' in the riggin'.

Well shoot! It looks like the good citizens of Rock Ridge were unfairly maligned.
