Cops tase man waiting to pick up his kids - video

video?

He was guilty of Walking Around While Black, duh.

Well, that was his crime at the bank; his crime with po-po was more like Contempt of Cop, which while likely has a more rapid onset if male and of color, it is not restricted to any particular race.

Looked more like security than police. Regardless, here you have a guy who may not have done anything wrong initially. The lady asked him who he was. She got nothing but lip. The man told him to out his hands behind his back and he didn't listen. He should have been tasked.

He was pissed because he was questioned and let his anger get the best of him. You can claim race if you want but you don't know if a white person would have had the same issue sitting outside a bank for 10 minutes. Regardless of race, it could look suspicious. All he had to do was co operate. Fail on his part. Well deserved taseing.

Blacks need to get over this discrimination issue. Acts like this only heighten police sensitivity. And the reality is, if you are black you are more likely to commit a violent crime than if you are white. If blacks don't want to look suspicious, this fact needs to change.

He repeatedly told them he was picking up his kids. Why would they not believe him? Wouold these racists have believed this if a white person said the same thing.

Minnesotans should be ashamed.

Cops in the US are totally out of control.

I hope he sues them for millions, but that won't be enough.

In "Stop and Identify" states, cops are allowed to make you present an ID if they have reasonable suspicion of a crime. Minnesota doesn't even have a "Stop and Identify" law, so as far as I know its completely legal to refuse to show a police officer any form of identification (and its also legal to not care ID as long as you're not driving).

The guy in the video "giving the officers lip" was just protecting his rights.

How about the following guy? Does he need to just get over the discrimination issue?

Didn't she ask him for ID or who he was?If he were waiting outside to rob a bank, would he have told her that or made up some crap excuse like he was waiting for his kids? The fact he felt the need to videotape it it tells me he wanted to create trouble by being an a$shole just to see what happened so he could cry foul.The fact that you don't see this shows you don't know how the world works.

Read my response on that thread on this board.

If you read the statement from police , security called the police because he was loitering in an "employee only" area. The cop that tasked him came in late in the situation and saw a guy who failed to cooperate with police. He didn't have to be agrumentative. He wanted to provoke and record to see what happened. Still a well deserved taseing.Did he have to show his ID on the spot? Maybe not. But if you aren't doing something wrong, why not do it? You think police suck? Maybe some do, bit provoking behavior like this doesn't make their job any easier.

His cell phone protected him? Lol...he got tasked. He didn't even file a formal complaint with the police. Probably got a lawyer who told him he had no case.

I get tasked every day. My boss assigns me lots of tasks. It's not so bad.

If he didn't video, in addition to being tasked, he'd have all those charges still standing against him.

He wanted to create trouble, by getting tased and harassed?

You're the dumbest person on LR.

No, he wanted to create trouble by using his phone and recording his disobedience to bait the cops. See, he doesn't create trouble by being tased and harrased. Those are things the officers did. Now who is the dumbest person? Well not you...still a tie between Bad Wigins and that T-Rexxing guy, but you just threw your hat in the ring.

Him shooting the video didn't get the charges dropped because it doesn't prove he was innocent of anything. They either figured they couldn't prove he knew he was trespassing or it wasn't worth him getting a small fine. Ironically, even with the video, he didn't file a complaint with the police or anyone else. When he either thought about it or was advised, he realized he was in the wrong.Making an issue out of phone auto correct between tased and tasked doesn't make me look stupid. It just shows you have no argument.
