Today on the news was something that made me so furious. There was an African-American (some people are offended by calling them "black", but for some reason we can be called "white" and "crackers"..anywho) who was being "chased" by the cops for armed robbery.
The catch is, they weren't chasing him at all. Because he was African-American they were following him around a neighborhood at low speeds and some cops were even just standing by watching him drive around in circles. The reason why this was happening was there was another beating of an African-American a few days ago so obviously it would be racist to try and arrest him.
They had popped his tires but he was still able to go because of his tires being so large (20" I believe) it didn't make much of a difference not having air in the tires. After following him around for 50 minutes and him throwing all the stuff he stole out of the windows, he pulled over and surrendered.
When he got on the ground with his hands behind his back, the policemen were afraid to even touch the guy because it would be considered "racist". They eventually walked up to him and cuffed him, I was finally relieved when there was an African-American officer that touched him, so I don't think it could be officially "racist" with him there.
Is anyone fed up with more and more of the "minorities" getting away with this crap? I bet he will be back on the streets in no time because someone will slip up and it'll become a case about arresting him because he was African-American, and not because he robbed a store and stole a car.
I wanted to fly to California and shoot this guy when all the other officers didn't do anything about it.
Sorry had to vent about this...no flame towards African-Americans, I respect them...just not the ones who don't respect anyone else and believe they should have more rights than everyone else. Anyone else feel the same way or am I becoming racist?:(
