Wow. The impression that was made on that girl will stay with her forever.

Ennuipoet: All I can say is he's lucky the situation wasn't reversed: a black grandfather walking his white granddaughter. The cops would've shot first and asked questions later, if at all. Oh, and sprinkle some crack on him, of course!

Unfortunately you may be correct.

As a dad of mixed race kids, I had that a couple of times (minus the sprinkling and shooting)

1985(?), walking around with the twins (double-wide stroller) at a mall....ancient black woman looks down at them, looks at me, looks back at them..."Are they yours?"

AbbeySomeone: Unfortunately you may be correct.

Depending on location. Some areas are more mixed race friendly than others.

These days you may have been tased and handcuffed while the kids sat screaming in fear.

I swear, before I clicked the link, my thought was: They should move to Ohio. I bet this happened in Texas.

*click link* Austin, TX.

Despite our recent issues with a White's Only swimming pool, sightings of a white grandparent with their brown-skinned grandchild(ren) in tow is a common enough occurence that people will not call the cops.

TX and Arizona seem to be the last two states where judging people solely by appearance is not only acceptable but encouraged. I'm not saying other areas of the nation aren't racist, but TX and Arizona seem exponentialize racism to degrees not seen since well before the Civil War. I'll even put them ahead of Mississippi where there were two lynchings last year because at least Mississippi is prosecuting the white people involved.

Cops LOVE them tasers.

As we turned onto the last block home, two of the police cars that had detained us passed by and Ty visibly winced with fear, lunging toward me and wrapping her arms around my leg

Good work pigs, another black kid made to fear cops. Because that situation ALWAYS works out well.

Hmm...I thought Austin was the liberal utopia in Texas. Interesting...

hicksfa2: Hmm...I thought Austin was the liberal utopia in Texas. Interesting...

your mistake is assuming Aaustin PD isn't a bunch of racist rednecks. Yeah, Austin is full of hipsters now, but the PD there are the same old mouth-breathing inbreeds as always.

Next time Texas starts talking about seceeding, let them!

What a sad thing for them to go through. Twice.

Ha! "Liberal"

Of Republicans and Democrats, I would say I've bumped into far far more racist and hostile Democrats than Republcians. If anything, the Democrats are the ones always using race as a tool. While, the two parties aren't much different when it comes to economic practice and foreign affairs, I will say that the Democrats love to project a noble image of themselves that is NOTHING like the reality.

Obey Police.

Where the pending lawsuit?

Didn't this happen in the states?

_{/and I'd support it}

So, in his own story, he starts off by refusing to disclose his name to the cops and acts generally evasive when confronted about a kidnapping that's been called in, then when they stop him later over the call that the first cop already told him they were responding to, instead of calmly acknowledging what is going on he immediately starts yelling at them for not having instantly called his reference numbers and verified his story in under two minutes.

He then proceeds to get increasingly insulting and hostile at a very rapid rate, and he sort of hints that he started making threats. Nevertheless, he is detained for a few minutes, notably not tazed despite the implications of the headlines, and both of them are let go several minutes later. He insults the first responding officer for doing her job on the way out.

Yeah, that's some real police brutality, there. It was totally the cops that were out of line here.

//Hint: when being asked if you're a kidnapper, refusing to disclose your name, acting generally evasive, and then rushing off is not the way to allay police suspicion, dumbass.

imfallen_angel: Where the pending lawsuit?

Yeah, seriously, this is what lawsuits are for. If the cops keep farking up like this, the only way they're going to learn anything is when you start digging into their operational budget.

hicksfa2: Hmm...I thought Austin was the liberal utopia in Texas. Interesting...

It's all relative. Texas is so deep into full retard territory that it doesn't take much to look good by comparison.

Grandad from the article: I'd like her to view police as people she can trust instead of threats to her and her family, but it's possible I live in the wrong neighborhood for that.

You live on the wrong planet for that. The police can NEVER be trusted.

I almost married a girl who was adopted by white folks. Her sister was adopted by them as well. And when her sister became a nigress they adopter her first two kids. And, yes, CPS took them away from the grandparents at some point.

In other news, for the first time in history, the Austin PD pretended to give a crap about the well-being of a black girl.

Some guys blog is the source for this?

Anybody can get out there and get an account on blogspot and write a blog.

Before we all get on the Outrage Express and start bashing the police, is there any source more reliable?

Nice.

Police abuse of power: Check
Texas: Check
Race relations: Check
Rollerskating: Check

This is going to be a troll thread.

Just posted a remarkably similar comment on TFA.

Dadoody: Ha! "Liberal"

Of Republicans and Democrats, I would say I've bumped into far far more racist and hostile Democrats than Republcians.

Yes, anyone can put up whatever blog post/crap they want.
But this guys stuff seems pretty well researched, instead of simply monkey poo flinging as is usual with a lot of blogs out there.
Did you bother to read any of the other stuff there?

When you say one thing that's completely indefensible and retarded, it calls into question the validity of other things you say.

Gettin down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin can stop us now
Jus hit 'em with the bop gun!

This kind of stuff happens to a friend of mine. He was pulled out of a grocery store, and questioned by the Police, after someone called on him. He's been stopped walking down sidewalk too. His grandchildren are blond hair, blue-eye devils. He is a Rastafarian, from Trinidad, and about 80 years young.

Reminds me of Link (new window)

Can someone explain to me why everyone resists whenever Texas wants to secede?

Let 'em go.
