And your comment does nothing to address the thought that perhaps if you always cry racism people get sick of that shit and there may be backlash to it coming? Here's a great example for you. I'm on scene of a wreck at work. I have a lady baby sitting kids involved. It's a fender bender without any real injuries but if you want to go to the hospital I need to know because the person in the other car wants to go to the hospital. I attend to the other person and say I'll be back in a few let me know if you want to go to. 10 minutes later she still can't make a decision, another 5 minutes still no decision. Now I am supposed to be off scene in 10 and I also need to know if I can take everyone in 1 ambulance or if I need to get more because we're going to different hospitals. If you don't to go I have paper work you need to sign stating I offered and you refused, now somehow, I am a racist because I am not waiting another 5 minutes (after giving her an additional 10)for her to make up her mind. This is 1 example of many of what has become a common occurrence. Now, if you keep telling someone with good intentions they are racist do you expect this person to never grow contempt for you?

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

Driving slow in the fast lane is obstructing traffic. Something this hot head didn't learn in traffic school- which is where he should be instead if making bogus 911 calls then leaving the scene.. FYI this law us Strictly Enforced on decent highways like the Autobonn. No trucks in the fast lane at 120 KPH+..Or in America, semi's blocking/ obstructing traffic with thier " dueling speed limiters" with other trucks in the slow lane,holding them governed to 66-72 MPH, just makes drivers nuts... For " safety's sake ", speedlimiters on semi's drive people to roadrage ..

In his police issued vehicle, with his ID, and they still don't give a shit. And why didn't they run the plates on that vehicle initially? They thought he was lying about being a cop even with the evidence staring them in the face. Smh. This man is lucky to be alive.

[@jraposo]

once they see a black man, now you are a suspect. and they must search you until they find something, and they won't like it if you try to prove your innocence before they search you, violate your right, insult you and provoke you until you react in a way they can use to arrest you.

[@ceedaddy]

A badge still does not give a person a right to break the law and get away free...the police had a job to investigate the complaint and any crime that may or may not have been committed regardless of him being black and regardless of him being an officer... He felt offended that when he showed his Im a black police chief badge ...that it was denied and he was treated as any other suspect would have been treated without privilege...thats why he decided to seek the news media and cry racism....

[@ceedaddy]

@JagBrit ...Sorry but when a crime or suspected crime has been reported, regardless if the complainant sticks around to speak with the police...the investigation has begun until the officers determine that it was a frivolous call. In the Meantime, prior to the officers being able to do their investigation, the black police chief thought he'd flash his badge and get an instant get out of jail free...in this case a get out of an investigation. Sorry that your feelings got hurt because his black privilege card didnt work...

[@adamelam6385]

Should they have not investigated because he was a cop and ignored the complaint? Lol It sounds like he did want special treatment. He tried to show his badge and get it swept under the rug but they kept investigating so he claimed racial profiling. Are they not allowed to investigate when someone makes a claim against a minority. They didn’t violate his rights or he would have said so and they didn’t ticket him so the only reason for the butthurt is that they had the audacity to investigate the claim even after he sought special treatment. I applaud them for not giving him special treatment. Imagine if what the driver claimed was true and it got ignored because the other guy was a cop.

@ lol so since there is no 3rd party panel to come out and investigate cops on the side of the road the real cops shouldn’t have investigated the claim? I’ll poke holes in your flawed logic like your 5.
