Riots in Chicago? (Pontiac, Montgomery, Detroit: neighbourhood, parking, money)

[rzzzz]

A lot of problems would be solved if cops were required to have higher scores on their IQ tests, instead of being required to have low scores.

Quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

You'll be the first one to call 911 if you get robbed. and when they show up you'll be saying "Thank you, oh thank you - so glad you are here, phew!!! what would i ever do with out you?!"

Can Someone Be Too Smart To Be A Cop?

I've been mugged and burglarized, like I said in a previous post. The cops can't really do much of anything. They just fill out a report.

I was out of town for a while. Were there riots here?

Only in the Chicago City-Data forum.

He was apprehended with cigars.

A few loose cigars, not a box of them.

Frame by frame analysis of the video including footage that the cops did not release at first.

What Mike Brown did and did not do inside of the Ferguson convenience store

At 1:03, Mike Brown puts the box of cigars that he grabbed back onto the counter.

At 1:05, Dorian Johnson is seen putting the box of cigars he was holding back on the counter.

At 1:08, Mike Brown bends over to pick up loose packs of cigars from the ground.

At 1:15, Mike Brown begins to leave the store.

Cops are not necessarily there to "serve" you. They are there to enforce the law.

It's telling about the stories about being "harassed" by the cops.

Someone taking creepy stalker photos of the FBI, which anyone with two brain cells to rub together would know is a bad idea, and someone ostensibly skateboarding illicitly in a mall parking lot.

If you don't want to get harassed by the cops, don't break the law.

Some lady in Detroit, a city council woman no less, felt she was being "harassed" for going 20 over in a state park recently.

I once got stopped for walking through a wealthy neighborhood at night with baggy jeans and a hoodie. Good thing. I looked like a delinquent. I would have stopped me too. The difference is I didn't punch the cop or anything of that nature or have any drugs or anything else on me. He told me they'd been having some burglaries and it was a better idea to take a walk on the Main Street. I said thanks and left.


It's not exactly Montgomery, 1966.
