Police say they are investigating who staged the incident and why.

Haul Ashton Kutcher down to the station and keep him there as long as you have to.

The officer had been asked to teach a lesson on dealing with the police.

Rule #1: Obey the law.
Rule #2: Use common sense.
Rule #3: Stop immediately.
Rule #4: Turn that shiat off.
Rule #5: Be polite.
Rule #6: Shut the fark up.
Rule #7: Get a white friend.
Rule #8: Don't ride with a mad woman.

Addendum #1: Don't stage fights in front of them.

You want your parishioners to know how to deal with police. There is only one logical piece of advice. Don't talk to the cops. Ever.

The article fails to mention what charges were filed against the three men. They were arrested, right?

/Oh, never mind, they're "good Christians"

Much better article about it: Link (new window)

FTFA: "James Harrington, pastor of the Mt. Vernon Missionary Baptist Church, said he set up the scenario to test a white officer's reaction to a fight between two black men."

Nice going pastor.

What a win for race relations.

I could guess that the officer's 'reaction to a fight betrween two black men' was, 'Damn, they even go at each other in church!'

Way to reinforce those stereotypes pastor!

If only the pastor does simular tests on his religion.

/ Then again, his tests are farking stupid. He'll probably grow some hybrid tomatoes and say his test proves evolution wrong.

If they try to bring charges against the pastor, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will show up immediately...just watch.

If there were IMDB police, there is no way the injustice of Kick-Ass having an 8.2 rating would stand.

They don't send the youngest, most physically fit cops out to do public education. They got Danny Glover out there one week before his retirement and staged a fight, during which he slipped or was shoved to the floor and injured his back, perhaps permanently. He's too old for that shiat.

/Should have tased somebody.

If I was an IMPD officer, I would totally get a hat with "IMBD" on it.

One of the city cops in Evansville (Evansville Police Department hats say "EPD" on them) wore a hat for two months that said "EDP" on it as a joke. "EDP" is their shorthand for "emotionally disturbed person." It was pretty funny to the cops.

SHHH!!!!!!We're trying to tap dance around that aspect of the story with waning, awkward levity and comments that have little relevance to the actual story. Haven't you read the thread?

I'm sure it's all just a cultural misunderstanding and society is to blame.

If an innocent, professional actor is just trying to create a safe, teachable moment. At what point does it become acceptable to physically resist the expected arrest and throw an officer down?

Well, as usual, if the races were reversed in this story, there would be twenty-point headlines about it in every newspaper and special bulletins on every television channel.

The best way to deal with cops is making sure you don't have to deal with cops.

Test is double fail.
