It's not fake, I know the people who recorded it.

This is stupid, of course he's not gonna say he did something wrong. You wouldn't go to a trial, and only hear one side of the story then decide on a verdict, so why would you just hear what he has to say, and assume it's true, especially, you don't even know this guy.

[DougPaulDavis]

He may or may not say he did something wrong, however, usually you have a speeding ticket or some other violation to go by. Here the guy pulled him over, asked him a bunch of questions and released him. And by the way folks, this is a pattern, not an isolated incident.

[racialprofiling101]

How exactly do you know the police had "no violation to go by?" Are you a traffic cop or something? We don't know how the subject was driving prior to being pulled over therefore there is no possible way to judge his driving. For all we know he could have blown past a stop sign or something, don't be ridiculous. If racial profiling is such a big deal how about you obey all traffic laws and post a video of yourself being pulled over, since it is not an "isolated incident."

[DougPaulDavis]

If he had blown past a stop sign they would have given a ticket.

[racialprofiling101]

Possibly, but do you think someone you interview on camera is going to admit to that?

[DougPaulDavis]

Usually they do. For instance, one of the other videos I have posted, they guy has gotten fix it tickets. Usually when someone gets ticket, they accept it as more legitimate and are less likely to charge racial profiling unless it becomes a pattern.

Hey im a black man and i was pulled over by a officer that said my "license plate light was out" and i asked him could we both check it, he declined and leftBut when i got out and looked at it after he pulled off it was on bright! Took it in to check for a shortage and there wasn't one... No since in denying it they profile people everyday

[TheWTFers]

@IAMbrownrizzle Don't give me that bull shit, just cause your a cop, does not mean your not a human all of the sudden. No cop is perfect, which is why I think they have way too much power for being who they are. I would never want a badge, not because I hate cops, but because I don't want to be the one taking advantage of the privilege and power, cause I know I would. I admit I would, as a human being who strives to be best. A little of Darwinism for ya PIG

[TheHoeDownTV]

@racialprofiling101 You are a fucking idiot!

[TheHoeDownTV]

@DougPaulDavis LOL!

[phantomsuccour]

@k5superb there was. you must be a supporter of it. Every black man I know has been pulled over pby police hundreds of times over the period of a decade for no good reason. People like you that support this racism are despicable!!

[foilseal]

i would have pulled him over too. many blacks who can afford rental cars are dealing drugs or are involved in stolen property.

[james662662662]

"He's got a nice car, he's probably got a good job." Quit profiling you liberal shitface!

[james662662662]

I got pulled over in Davis a shitload too! I'm white, and can't get any money out of suing the police department, so it totally pissed me off! A couple of times they said I "rolled" a stop sign! Who the fuck doesn't "roll" a stop sign? I mean, who doesn't break EVERY law at one time or another? And what are laws anyway? Just a way to hold down the black man!

[chilly162]

This is a pretty uneventful video. Doesn't show any racial profiling.

I pulled a woman over for blowing a stop sign about 6 years ago. When I asked her if she knew what I was stopping her for, she said because she was a black woman in an all black neighborhood. I told her NO, I stopped you because you blew that stop sign back there, and your windows are tinted, so I couldn't know you are black. I shouldn't have cut her break because she pulled the race card, but I did anyway because all of her info was straight, not because she was black.
