Those were all at night, and not on busy streets. Completely different scenarios from this one.
I showed you the link of what happened, this one was not the police in ANY way, it was the criminal lady.
The cases you showed are guilty cops, totally different scenarios. You can’t just project that applies to all cases, just like with the lady in Atlanta you can’t just project it’s “always the lady” because she did it. All cases need to be evaluated individually.
For what it’s worth, I’ll offer this: It’s not unusual for female suspects not to be searched as thoroughly as their male counterparts. Call it sexism or stereotyping, but there is a sense – accurate or not – that a female suspect is less likely to be armed. Secondly, male officers tend to be particularly less thorough in frisking a female suspect. They may wait for a female officer to show up or just go through the motions of a cursory pat down, depending on the circumstances of the arrest. It’s laziness and unprofessional to curtail procedure, but human behavior is what it is.
Moreover though, it’s not unheard of that a weapon gets missed during a pat down. Consider that when they do controlled tests of TSA’s screening process at airports, they miss about 70% of contraband, and that’s with the luxury of time and technology.
Indianapolis while I was in grad school at IU.
Somethin’ fishy in Atlanta. Send in CNN to investigate, after all it’s their hometown.
Said she was handcuffed but then began to have a shoot out with the cops. Either she was handcuffed or not and if she had a gun and commenced to battle then we must assume she wasn’t handcuffed and she was not patted down by a female officer. Either these dicks are liars or just plain stupid.
Exactly, there is nothing unreasonable here. Male officers many times will fear being accused of groping during a thorough pat down of a woman. And news reports now indicate she fired a gun at the police 3 times, they returned fire and killed her. Totally justified. And saying female suspects are less likely to be armed is not sexism, it’s a fact. Hell, the overwhelming majority of legal gun owners in this country are male. Reading conspiracies into this story is being silly. Yes, police do a lot of bad stuff. So do criminals. Each case should be evaluated individually. Cops were on the ball here, and luckily not killed or wounded.
Looks like she was petite and slipped on hand out. Not hard to believe at all. And woman are definitely not treated as harshly as men, color is not relevant. Plus patting down a female thoroughly can get an accusation of groping, etc.
No, it’s totally different than that. Totally. Two separate incidents. Do some research.
Because a lot of cops don’t see black people as people. They feel like they must do, and feel free to do, stuff to black people they would not do to a white person.
It makes me sad that I even had to tell you that. It makes me sadder still that you probably won’t believe it and will think I’m just “playing the race card,” whatever the hell that means.
No, this was not Pulp Fiction or the case in SC. First of all the cops are black, second the woman took shots at them with her gun, so they fired back. Seems like a pretty smart move to me. Don’t compare these good cops to that a-hole in SC or to Mr. Vega the thug. These were two good cops who almost got blown away by some POS.
So the cops were negligent in their duty by missing the gun in the first place and by not keeping an eye on her in the second place which gave her time to get loose. Convenient no?
And that is all based on the cops story, which if we’ve learned anything at all lately is just about always bullshit to small or more likely large degrees.
Open an investigation into these cops and the whole department and watch the slime begin to ooze out.
So the black police officers that arrested her and shot her don’t see black people as people?
The fact that she wasn’t searched had more to do with the fact that male cops don’t generally feel threatened by females regardless of their skin color.
Yep. Actual real problem. Even black cops see and treat black suspects differently. Real research that shows it. Professional acculturation is a powerful force for shaping attitudes. As anyone who purports to be or have been in the military ought to know.
No doubt about it. Had they searched her and she complained they groped her, the same clowns on here complaining they should have searched her…would then be complaining they should have waited for a female officer. They are just morons who hate cops. I hate bad cops, not cops. And I also hate criminal people, not people. Each case is different. We have at least a dozen knee jerk comments on here defending a criminal POS and hating cops doing a good job in this case. Ignorance. No different than Tea Baggers who say the cop is always right.
They probably assumed the lil’ lady wouldn’t be packing heat and decided not to frisk her.
There are political forces that want to create chaos so they can use it to promote their ideology and gain political power. In the end, we as a nation will pay a steep price but by that time they will be long gone and won’t give a shit about the wreckage they left behind.
Ew! Where?!
Anyway, my crystal ball is astir, smokily giving an image of the future! It is becoming clearer now, wait…Someday, someday it shows… Handcuffs will be invented for the coppers’ safety and control!
I betcha her lifeless body got itself somehow handcuffed anyhow, so it got written up that way, smart aleck! That’s almost the same, wouldn’t you agree?
David Simon that the black police were the real brutal characters:
"In his 1997 book, The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, “The Wire” creator David Simon explained why Baltimore policing in the 1990s benefitted little from the addition of more black cops in the preceding decades::
A white patrolman in West Baltimore has to at least… take into account that he is messing with black folk in a majority black city. Not so his black counterparts, for whom brutality complaints can be shrugged off… because the racial aspect is neutralized.
