Where was the racist part? That video wasn't very clear...

At least the 2nd thread on this. It's just a bonehead guy wanting to hang an offensive sign on school property that wasn't allowed and the cop WHO NEVER said anything about RACE got pissed and made the stupid "This aint America no more statement". That about sums it up.

THE OP IS CLEARLY RACE BAITING.

During the Bush years, people were kicked out of Bush events for the bumper stickers on their cars and t-shirts they were wearing if they were anti-bush.

Looks to me to be one cop that is writting laws as he goes.
Where in the constitution does it say that this cop or that one can say this or that is correct?
It sounds of a "Police State" in the beginning stages!

In 2005, three people were ejected by police from a Bush town hall meeting in Denver after they arrived in a car with a bumper sticker that read, "No More Blood for Oil." ("Politicians Are Stifling Dissent, Critics Say," Knight-Ridder [via Common Dreams], February 4, 2006)

In October 2004, three school teachers in Medford, Oregon, were threatened with arrest by police and thrown out of a political rally featuring President Bush after they showed up wearing T-shirts with the slogan, "Protect Our Civil Liberties."

This cop needs to be fired. The person had every right to hold any sign they wanted. Amazing the cop says he can charge the person with whatever charge he wants to.

Wonder if Obama will call this cop "stupid"??????
