Before I trigger a wave of white fragility, I'm sure there's a perfectly innocent explanation for this. Maybe the guy who bought the mints was actually a vampire-werewolf and the Noble Police Officer was trying to protect the world from vampire-werewolves who have nice breath.

Oh wait. I know. He was "resisting," therefore he deserved to be treated like that.

If instead he was white and got a bunch of his friends and made an armed takeover of a federal facility with the intent of starting a war with the government, then the cop would have been wrong. But instead he resisted and so he deserved what he got. White people don't resist, that's why things like this are much less likely to happen to white people.

PS[ent]mdash[/ent]I understand that by pointing out that these things are much less likely to happen to white people that I am guilty of "White Genocide" and that therefore I am the "real racist."
 
What exactly did the off-duty cop think the man was paying for?

And was he seriously planning to shoot someone over a roll of Mentos? If not, why did he draw his gun?
 
I have a sneaking suspicion the officer was suspicious even before the officer entered the store.
 
He looks white to me. White hispanic judging from the name, but white nevertheless. You know, like a certain guy whose name starts with Z.

Scary beard though.

P.S.: Why are you all on Californiia's case all of a sudden. You make one of the most lefty states sound like 1930s Alabama.
P.P.S.: Do your blood pressure a favor and do not google "Diante Yarber".
 
He looks Hispanic to me, but he was talking to the cashier and clearly had an accent. As we all know, people with accents are scary and deserve suspicion immediately. Now we shall cue the barrage of excuses for the officer pulling out his gun.

1) expectation of confrontation
2) it's better to be so visually well prepared for any shit he might pull to quell it from the very beginning.

Never mind that although he handed over money, he pocketed the goods without a receipt. Do white people raised in a desegregated society do that? We wouldn't know, would we. We've already let things get so out of control that there's no telling what anyone might do. After all, its clear that anything goes nowadays: case in point: did you notice the proximity of the other 'patron'? What the hell was all that shit about anyway? When the cop came in, he knew to keep his distance. The question I have is WHEN? Notice the way the cop came in. Was it from the severely odd behavior of those two at the counter? The cop didn't walk in and get all buddy buddy. He's white. He walked straight in and got in line at a distance with hand in pocket with gun and took a ready, willing, and able stance--just waiting.

Coincidence that the pocketing of the goods with no receipt gave him the excuse he would ultimately use, or was he already keenly aware that something was very amiss from the school children girly girl behavior of those two 'patrons.' It's like people just have no friggin' clue how to interact in public, but then again, this is a desegregated society. It must be a California thing for that kind of legal behavior.

PS: hey, you made it cue time, not me :p

Off duty Asian cop pulls gun on hispanic guy in mini mart. White people to blame.

The Buena Park police department has confirmed that the man was one of their officers and is conducting an investigation. Obviously, he should not have drawn his gun. In fact, the off-duty officer appeared to be fumbling with his cash when he suddenly thought he saw a shoplifting event. In his panic, the cop also fumbled around trying to get his gun out of his pocket while shouting imperiously at the poor customer. For some reason, the store clerk remained silent while all of this was going on and only spoke up with the cop asked him if the man had paid for his item. I suspect that he, too, felt intimidated by a man brandishing his gun and claiming to be a cop.

I'm not sure what was going on in the mind of the officer. His victim was Hispanic, but he might just have been spooked by his casual dress and demeanor. I would be surprised if the cop is allowed to keep his job. That kind of panicked response suggests that the cop is a danger to the public and a liability to his department. Maybe he should get a job as a Fox News reporter.
 
I think the incident reflects on how poorly cops are trained.

If, however, this guy has the papers to show he has undergone sufficient training, then he should be immediately fired and told to find another line of work, and he should be legally prohibited from carrying a gun.

If joe sixpack had done the same thing joe sixpack would be fucked. This cop is supposed to be a lot smarter than joe sixpack.
 
Some concerns here.
1) I'm a cop (pulls out gun... not badge!). The badge proves someone is a cop... not the gun.
2) My bad... Well, at least he tried to apologize. He could have gone a bit further with it.
3) Did I mention pulling out a gun over a roll of Mentos?

The good news is, the Officer wasn't exactly overzealous. He didn't throw the guy against the counter and strip search him. The bad news is apparently, this is the good news for this situation. I suppose the funny thing here is I watched the Rifftrax of Plan Nine From Outer Space recently, and the "detective" in the film is pretty damn reckless with how he holds and points a gun... and that came to mind while watching this video. I suppose that would also be some more bad news though

Well as long as that is all you are worried about, Hakuna Matata.

Well, yeah. Otherwise, do you think underseer would have posted this story?

Look at the thread title. This thread has been about race since the first sentence was typed in it.

It shouldn't be. It should be about poor training of police officers and how ridiculous the US has become.
 
The thread mentions the race of the victim, not the race of the potential shooter. Focusing on the race of the potential shooter isn't quite right, therefore.

Why else is it not right? Under oppressive systems and/or discrimination, minority persons can act on behalf of racism and oppressive systems. For example, some slave owners had African Americans whip other African Americans. That doesn't mean somehow that there was no racism.

Reductio ad absurdum.

Q.E.D.

That's not true. A topic desired to be under discussion is not limited to what might very well be more important.
