Absolutely, the criminals and scum of society they have to deal with everyday is crazy. You could never pay me enough to do their job.

Where are the news stories?

Well, there's one in your OP.

Not everything needs to be national news. A quick Google search shows that it is getting plenty of local coverage.

As I already pointed out, Only conservative Fox News reported it. Where is the rest of the national media?!? For some reason two black guys getting kicked out of Starbucks for loitering made national headlines every night for 3 weeks and they got to shake hands with the CEO and mayor. Black privelege!

It is local news because he is a local chapter president. I don't see why this story needs to make national news just because another story featuring black men made national news.

Was this chapter president's original accusation national news? I don't recall ever hearing anything about him. I Googled his name, but the only stories that came up where the local news stories about his accusations being fake.

Do you really think getting kicked out of a business because of the color of your skin is a privilege? How odd...

This guy was not just some teenager with a hoodie. He is a leader in the black community. To say this could not spark outrage in the black community there is naive. And with the current incendiary environment today it could have lead to an investigation by the police there.



But really what you are saying is you condone this man lying about the incident.

The guy should be condemned and held accountable if doing wrong. That's how it should be in every case.

I believe 100% if he body cam footage showed the officer doing what the pastor alleged he did it would be national news and the guy would be interviewed over and over on CNN and all over the MSM.

LOL.

But the guy was stopped for not using a turn signal? Really?

WHAT? I wish that happened more often.
I am white. I have been stopped for not using a turn signal.


I have been stopped for not having a license plate on the front of my car.


I have been stopped for having a break light out.... turning onto the road I live on....


as a teen I was stopped for walking down the street with my shirt in my back pocket.
