Inside the mind of white America

aaronfr says...

Actually, the whole point was to "go on a journey into the mind of white America". You can't just change his objective because you thought it was something different.

Furthermore, he didn't try to engage meaningfully in the society and the (racist) systems that it has set up. He wasn't looking for a job, he didn't try to purchase a house, he didn't have exposure to the judicial system.

You're (once again) saying there isn't systemic racism because a foreign journalist didn't run into overt racism. The cancer analogy holds just fine.

How foolish.

He whole point was to see if there was racism. Or in you case systemic racism.

Being a black man walking and driving around, if there were systemic racism he would have bumped into it.

You cancer analogy is wrong, pick another.

Pres. Trump Tweets Vid of Himself Physically Attacking CNN

Sure. But the Republican that was referenced isn't some whack-job nobody that is simply a registered Republican, he's a Representative in the US Congress.

When the powerless and disturbed lash out violently, it's unfortunate. When a person equally disturbed and violent has real power, it's a much bigger problem.

Yeah, and a Democrat shot up a GOP basketball practice

The common thread isn't that trivial nonsense like this video "incited" those people to violence. The common thread is that unhinged idiots that can't differentiate between fiction and reality sometimes do crazy / terrible / violent stuff. The fault lies with said unhinged idiots, not any external entity that they claim influenced them (Trump, Kathy Griffin, Grand Theft Auto / Doom video games, Ozzy Osbourne, whatever).

actually, there is no law requiring that a female officer be present or conduct a search of this type. If the search required the female suspect to remove anything beyond a coat, headwear, gloves, or footwear, than a female officer should conduct it as this is considered a strip search. However, a basic pat-down (which was being conducted in this video) can be carried out by a male officer to a female suspect.

Should he have used the back of his hand? Possibly. It's a good practice but once again not a specific regulation that officers have to follow. The back of the hand would not have been effective for the area of the body he was attempting to search. Perhaps he could have used the edge of his hand along the pinkie side. Regardless, there was nothing improper in his search methods, it just wasn't following best practices.

The real travesty here is the use of field sobriety tests being used/manipulated to wrongfully arrest a woman who called for help.

WAIT! It's a good thing that the Tourism Board didn't know about this place because it might be cursed. What a load of bullshit!

And it's a reminder that "there is still much to marvel at on this planet."??? Did someone have a doubt about that?

I didn't see any groping, or actually any contact with the his hand to her breast. He had a flat, open palm the entire time and was using his thumb to check for any objects in the bra/cleavage.

I get that she was caught off-guard by the search and the officer should have explained what he was doing before beginning. This might also have been a wrongful arrest and unconstitutional search, but there is no video evidence that this is sexual assault.
