Less than three minutes in I knew what the deal was ... yet another brother aggravating a situation that he found himself in .... whether the cop was a brother or white .... just to stop the inevitable, just tell him where you live and what you lost ..... end of story ... trying to be "the militant black panther" just ain't worth it with the odds already stacked against you because you're black ... all he's doing is giving them time and a reason to slap the bracelets on him or worse ...You already know and those situation it's best to turn around and leave the area cause you're going to jail for nothing because they don't want you there.
It happens and if you're black you get used to it when you're the only black in a sea of white people,the dirty looks,the smirks,the ignoring you,the uncomfortable looks.....being black in the white mans world.
What you say may all be true and I myself probably would have told them who I am and just left but with that being said I can understand the brotha frustration especially when the white cop arrives and keeps putting his hands on him trying to provoke him into something more serious.Less than three minutes in I knew what the deal was ... yet another brother aggravating a situation that he found himself in .... whether the cop was a brother or white .... just to stop the inevitable, just tell him where you live and what you lost ..... end of story ... trying to be "the militant black panther" just ain't worth it with the odds already stacked against you because you're black ... all he's doing is giving them time and a reason to slap the bracelets on him or worse ...![]()

According to the video, he is a contractor who moves from project to project and was taking a stroll to enjoy himself and relax.So what's the outcome, does he lie in the neighborhood?

The brotha took a loss on this because he lost his cool.....cops do that....they fuck with you until you get mad and give them a reason to arrest you...
I expected more from that black cop, tho....
I would have ignored the cop and stayed on my cell until he got tired of following me....

You ignore them long enough, you'll eventually get the loudspeaker and police siren to stop walking.Oh, the ignore response
is a very powerful tool!
Yeah, he fucked that
opportunity up.
I understand the brother, he is walking and here comes the Po-lease. But he should try being mature and look at it from their perspective...he is an unrecognized black man walking thru their neighborhood. If it is no problem, pretty sure they would have NO PROBLEM. But the only way to find out if there is no problem is to ask. The cops ASKED.....hi...whats your name?, you live around here? why you walking in this residential neighborhood? ...... he could have answered, and said he liked walking in nice neighborhoods. Then kept it moving. IF they harassed him after that, he could file complaint. But he was too agitated and helped create a problem, he needs anger management counseling if he is going to successfully navigate being a black man in America.Less than three minutes in I knew what the deal was ... yet another brother aggravating a situation that he found himself in .... whether the cop was a brother or white .... just to stop the inevitable, just tell him where you live and what you lost ..... end of story ... trying to be "the militant black panther" just ain't worth it with the odds already stacked against you because you're black ... all he's doing is giving them time and a reason to slap the bracelets on him or worse ...![]()
