Black actress detained for kissing white boyfriend

[Planr]

DrenDran is right about blacks statistically committing more crimes.
I often observe such a statistic playing out in my school and when I was at church camp this past summer.

At camp, our small south campus group of high-schoolers was overwhelmed by our downtown campus's hundreds of high school students (most of them black). They were mostly the black kids that live in the rough neighborhoods near downtown Jacksonville.  My guess is that they've most likely grown up in families where there wasn't a strong father figure in the home, which is a pretty big issue for the families that live in impoverished communities in America. They don't have anyone to firmly teach them right and wrong, and so they do as they please.
Anyways they were often causing lots of trouble at camp. They tried to cheat at the team games we played out on the rec field many times, they were using profanity in the worship auditorium, and a significant bunch of them always cut in line at the snack shack. This one black kid in a raggedy t-shirt and a straw hat in particular cut ahead of me in the long line for the snack shack and when I told one of the counselors there in the room about it, the kid lied to her and told her he'd been there the entire time.

At school, we have the same issue, but to a much lesser degree. I go to Bartram, which is one of the nicest high schools in my area, and we barely have any black kids at our school, except for maybe about 50 of them or so among nearly 2,000 students total. Most of them behave very well, but a few of the black freshmen sometimes try to cut in line at lunch with their buddies.

But this incident is very sad nonetheless. I think that cop should be temporarily suspended from his job at the least.

Never mind, I read what Bisjac said and I have to agree with him.

They were completely in the wrong.
Sat there 'making out' in their car, in public (while she, was sat on him, so consider what that looks like to a third party).
Police come and ask them to stop, and ask for ID. (Because prostitutes usually use fake names, even realistic names).
They don't, and so cause a big issue.

Really, it's just a case of the couple not having respect for the public, and then not having respect for a police officer just trying to do his job. It's really not difficult to comply with a police officer, especially when they're being quite reasonable.

Well in this case the title is actually true...

What makes it sensationalist is that it excludes important context, leading you, the reader, to believe that the actions made by the LAPD officers was prejudiced.


On the note of her not presenting her ID; here in austin there was a case recently where a woman was jogging in the middle of the street. There had also been many major incidents in this street where cars had hit jaywalkers. A police officer noticed what she was doing and tried to flag her down to get her out of the street. She responded by hitting the police officer, and attempting to escape from him. Once she realized it was actually a cop, she stopped and started arguing with him. He asked to see her ID (something that police officers are legally and constitutionally allowed to do) she flipped out and attacked him. The local media was pushing it as a police brutality case until the full details came out.

99% of the time if a cop asks you for your ID it is infinitely better for you to just show the ID and go on with your life. Refusing to cooperate gives the cop justification (reasonable suspicion for searches, probable cause for arrests) to take further actions.

stuff like this is why kids need to take a basic criminal law class in high school.

what am i reading

Something tells me the OP doesn't tell the whole story. There's some element that's being left out that made the police officer think she was a prostitute. Being a prostitute isn't a stereotype for all black women.

Everybody makes judgement out of a bad experience. Let's say some athletic kid from the [example] high school I go to beat me up, told his friends, and then they mock me all day. I might begin thinking that all jocks are pricks. How is that different to what Planr said?

this is probably true because i swear, every time an incident like this has a thread about it on this forum, the OP always leaves something out.
