It's the agenda game of Intimidation and Respect.

Did you watch the video? She was walking down the wrong side of the road with her headphones on. She didn't even hear the cop car drive up behind her. They stopped her for her safety.

Watch it again. It's very clear what happened.

If their agenda is racist it makes perfect sense.

To call it racial profiling is ridiculous. She's bundled up pretty good & therefore hard to tell what race she is. And it's possible that I missed it - but I did not hear/read/see that they asked for her ID to run a background check.... they asked for her ID to include it in their report. Standard procedure for any stop. Trying to be nice guys, looking out for her safety clearly. But at least her little stunt in the paper was disproved and exposed her for the racist she is.

You missed it at 2:52 - he calls it in and a minute later they clear her.

I went back and listened again. I can't find anyplace where they ran a background check and they certainly didn't do it at 2:52.

Can you be more specific about the background check?
