Some idiot walks into a legal stop. Most times the cop would arrest him immediately for interfering with a stop. I mean DUH, its a police stop. What makes this idiot think he can intervene in a police activity? Does he think he is Batman or something?? Maybe this driver, this black driver just killed a child pedestrian.
This guy sounds like some crusader for negros. Apparently he doesn't understand that blacks DO commit a disproportionately high rate of crimes. Thats why they get stopped.
I'm a white guy and I have lived in Springfield Township for a year now. I was pulled over for speeding on Bethlehem Pike while driving past the St Genevieve school. I was new to the area so the cop just gave me a warning. I had no idea that school was even there and I was probably only doing about 40mph. I have seen multiple people pulled over for the same thing. I'm not saying that you're wrong, just saying that if you break the rules, you get pulled over.
A lot of good comments here. I would not for a minute have approached the driver or the car if I felt any alarm. The car looked in fine condition, the driver relaxed and not under the influence. For all I knew the driver could have been just another Philadelphia politician ignoring traffic laws. If the police were as aggressive combating crime as they are patrolling Bethlehem Pike it would be a safer world. I think ticketing is a revenue thing for Springfield Township. Why tax your own?
I drive through Flourtown/Sprinfield on a daily basis. I have seen on a daily *WHITE* woman and men pulled over for speeding thru this particular school zone. I don't think for one minute it's a racial issue. You want to get a point across, but don't do it at the expense of your life or any of those officers!!! This could have turned out very differently for the both of you.You took all of his attention away giving any suspect clear opportunity to ambush this cop and even YOU!!!
I've been saying this for years about Flourtown. The only people they stop are black. Almost everyone driving on Bethlehem Pike is speeding. Even the black cop pulls over DWB suspects. Any black firemen? No. Flourtown will let non whites come there to do landscaping and work at Wawa, but don't try to live there and don't drive casually through. I'm glad someone finally put the word out about this. Nice work!
Are you kidding me? People keep getting killed or injured because of speed on that road... and this guy wants to find a reason to blame cops for doing their job. "Nobody obeys the 15MPH zone." -- That's why the speed enforcement! Maybe instead of shooting video of something you have no idea about, you should concentrate on your speed.
Way to go genius!! Just walk right up to a motorist AFTER he's been stopped by the police on the assumption that it was for a traffic violation. That's a good way of getting shot, don't ya think? The cop should have arrested you for stupidity...(Post this)
You must not be to bright! You just assumed that this motorist was stopped for a traffic violation? You just walked right up to the driver and handed him your card? That's a good way of getting shot. I applaud the officer for not cuffing you for interfering with his duties..
You are so ignorant and deserve to in accident with one these "ordinary" people who are driving under suspended drivers licenses. Then you will complain that the police weren't doing their job. Get a life and a real job!
Hey Jack, The officer I think was trying to convey to the videographer that it's not too smart to just walk up to the driver and ask "what's going on?" The dope with the camera is assuming that the driver was stopped for a traffic violation. What if he was suspected of robbing a store and was armed. That could have turned into a bad situation..

HE COULD BE A FELON? So every black man has to prove he's not a felon? At least the redneck is honest, usually they lie and deny their profiling.
