Black Male Ambushed and Detained by Police Due To White Couple Feeling "Uncomfortable"

what do you mean the officer's side?

I'm not taking my info from the police report...

my info is based on testimony from the kid...

he said he was leaving... and moments later the cops pulled up..

so if he's chilling outside the atm/bank... and decides to leave ... then is approached MOMENTS later...

he should still be in the vicinity of the bank/atm...
 
I told myself I wouldn't do this, but let me propose a hypothetical scenario just for the sake of discussion:

Say someone...anyone...white, black, whatever...makes a phone call to the police about three white males standing near an atm in Georgetown and that being "suspicious". Do you believe that the police would pull up ON them?

yes... because they have to respond to the call....

if you make a call of a white purse snatcher.....

and the cops pull up and see a whiteguy who fits the description

do you think they are not going to approach him because he's white?

the racism lies in the couples assumption that the kid was going to rob them...

the police merely responded to a racist assumption that they had no way of knowing was illegitimate until they spoke with jason...

But the kid didn't say he was chilling outside the bank. He said he left about 20 seconds after the bigot who called the cops on him left.
The 18-year-old, who was with two friends, lingered about 20 seconds outside the Citibank near Eastern Market on Capitol Hill before leaving.

This is in the article that you posted.

Also, you saying that the police approached him at the bank isn't what the kid is saying.

Your scenario is definitely different from the question. Snatching a purse is a crime. Of course the police are going to approach the white kid. Someone stereotyping you and thinking you're going to snatch their purse, isn't a crime.

yes ...

and if they ran, yes they would chase after them.

but it says he was run up on "moments" after leaving...

so theres a big issue with the whole timeline....

1. 911 call when couple leaves

2. 20 seconds after that dude leaves

3. MOMENTS later he's run up on

?

maybe the bus stop is right in front of the atm?

A white purse snatcher. That sounds like a person that committed a crime right?

You just described the exact opposite of the scenario i proposed

If you really believe that...I really have nothing else to say to that.

I doubt very seriously that the cops would take a call about white males standing near an atm in a posh area and deduce that that in and of itself is reasonable suspicion to investigate. Furthermore, if they did....I doubt VERY seriously that they pull up on the curb almost hitting one of them either.

You dudes seem to think that this kid just siimply saw a police car and took off. And that's not what he says happened. The kid is saying this cop pulled up and posed himself as a threat and even almost hit him with his vehicle.

The mere fact that you dudes believe that there is no POSSIBLE way that the cop could have violated the rules of engagement is alarming and suggests that you're in favor of a flat out police state. You dudes seriously must believe that the badge gives them an iron fist to rule with and that they shouldn't be under the law of protocol and standards.

Imagine if every time someone could simply call and report someone being suspicious without giving absolutely no reasonable case for why...and that being enough for a the police to detain you. It is incredible that people don't understand that.

1. if they almost hit him with the car that is excessive imo.... but did they really almost hit him? or is this just an exhaggeration like the NTer who claims he almost got shot when the guy only exposed his holster to him?

2. rules of engagement are for military.....lol

3. theres not enough evidence to say whether the cops actions were excessive. Need to wait for more info. It's clear the 911 caller as prejudice/racist.

4. If somebody says some white people may be trying to rob people at an atm... the police will approach them... and will chase if they run... that part of the story is not where race comes into the play... race comes into play if you ask whether or not somebody would call the police on 3 white teens standing by an atm... by the time a call is made the police are going to go hard no matter what race it is... whether or not a call is made in the first place is the issue.

What? The police absolutely have rules of engagement.

The lady did not call the police and say that they were trying to rob people. It also was not in the scenario I described. Why do you keep twisting variables in your argument?

their minds cant conceive a white man in the same EXACT predicament because they are conditioned to believe that white is right and black people are criminals until proven innocent
 
I'm just wondering why dude keeps trying to answer my scenario by changing important factors within it.

He's done twice in a row now.

I say "if someone calls the police and says there are suspicious white guys around the atm"...he responds with a purse snatching variable. I point that out...he responds with a "person calling the police to say that they're trying to rob people" scenario.

Someone please let me know if I'm crazy or something...

oh...... my bad.... why would i compare this situation to somebody calling police about a possible robbery...

Officer Sean Hickman, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department, told The Huffington Post Tuesday afternoon that officers were responding to a potential robbery.

I swear the people sitting in here trying to play an angle havn't even tried to work with the facts of the situation

And the rest of these "new blacks" are really coming at me like I'm trying to defend racism... lol..

Haha! Come on bruh. I hope you would know that responding to an actual robbery (purse snatched) is extremely different from responding to a potential robbery (suspicious person).

So where the **** did you get the purse snatching idea from?
Click to expand...
1. The purse snatching scenario was faulty

2. the people called the police saying they think the teens were scoping for soembody to rob... specifically to rob somebody at an atm. They did not call just to say "hey some people are suspicious" because the dispatcher would have asked "suspicious how?" and then the caller would have given them the assumption of them trying to find somebody to rob.

3. I revised the scenario to better match the current situation......

The call was about a potential robbery... a white guy would definitely have been approached over a robbery call... that is all..
