Cops spend taxpayer money doing shit like this and then the city/county governments spend taxpayer money settling lawsuits. When is EVERYBODY going to get tired of this and demand a change? Anyone with a wallet or a bank account should know why their local taxes are going up.

What a horrible event. In 2006, the FBI released a report on how white supremacists were taking over police depts in the U.S. It was promptly ignored. This is the result.

But Snoop is a convicted felon.

Also, can they not look up a license in a database? That seems like a thing they should be able to do.

"It was such a different day in that time,” said Bowden, “but the situation is exactly the same. We haven’t made any progress in our nation."

It's not quite as bad as it was but in a lot of situations like this one and many we've seen lately on the news it is. And all us white folks know it whether we admit it or not.

And would probably be the same is this video in almost any similar situation

Someone might think you're using Jesus' name as a swear and try to take you to jail.

The article doesn't mention any order the officer issued that she failed to obey, or even any question that she failed to answer.

Except that then there would be no story because they would not have been jailed.

He told her to get back in the car and she didn't. And you know, talented, wealthy, prominent, intelligent women are just fine with the police in Southaven IF they are white.

If not, talented, wealthy, intelligent, prominent women are scary scary dangerous. Watch out. They might get out of their car and call your boss.

Right, right, right. Lobsang! Lu-Tze (can't remember exactly how to spell it)! Must be Thief of Time. Frankly, though, I prefer the Monks of Cool to the History Monks, but only just a little bit.

Congratulations, you are An Smart Brownie. With a point.

Anyway, the chance of HAVING a lifetime is really not much of a choice at all. I wonder how often this sort of thing simply drives skilled or thoughtful citizens, blah or not, out of these towns and states, thus gradually making those jurisdictions more and more poor. "Upward mobility" should not mean "moving to Canada."

Unless I misread something, he told her to get OUT of the car, and she did. I didn't see anything about him telling her to get back in.

Might be an old picture.
