But the bigger issue is that these cops randomly pulled over a black woman they had *no reason* to pull over.

Your charge is highly contested,, vivify.
The snapshots of plates are done automatically now, and the police are notified when a tag is suspect or invalid.
Also, the windows are darkened, something that is common in Florida and that prevents the police seeing
what is going on in the car, who is driving, how many people etc. Florida's cars have extreme dark glass.
If you drive one of those vehicles to Massachusetts where I live, you will get pulled over promptly and told
just how many days you have to replace ALL the glass. It's DARK, man.

So I don't quite see a clear, uncontested picture here at all. And we don't know how many times random pullovers
are done to whites/blacks either. I do know that I stand firmly against racial profiling. Absolutely.

Fine:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-cop-who-pulled-gun-man-picking-trash-outside-his-n1006851

A black man (also caught on video) was picking up trash outside of a building he works at. The man had ID, handed it to the officer (though there was no reason for the cop to even ask for ID). The cop, for some reason, wasn't satisfied.

From that point on, as the video shows, the cop threatens the black man with being tasered, even though the video clearly shows the black isn't doing anything but picking up trash, is being nonviolent and hasn't made any threats.

Soon, that cop draws his gun on the black man, along with some other cops who do the same after arriving at the scene.

A (white) neighbor later confirmed confirmed the black man's story that he works there and lives in the area. The black man thankfully wasn't shot; but to have a gun drawn on a black man simply for doing his job and picking up trash, even after he showed ID...after already threatening to taser him?

Examples like this against blacks are endless.

Are examples like this against white endless also?

I don't think we'd ever know, because NBC doesn't collect nor report such instances.

That's quite a claim. You believe a news organization would deliberately not report news?

Daniel Shaver, a white man, was killed by police on video, despite clearly not being a threat. So your claim is false, since it was a major story. We even discussed that story here on RHP.

@vivify

Now that's a goodie.

"The police officer who pulled a gun on a man picking up trash outside his own
home in Boulder, Colorado, has resigned, city officials said Thursday."

But what does it prove? that there are bad cops out there and all these cases are to be judged one at a time.

So it is your contention that all instances of police harassing white men picking up trash would be national news. And that since we have had non reported that we know about, we can know it has not happened?

There are roughly 20,000 homicides per year in the US. How many do you remember? And of those you remember, why did you even hear of them? In case you haven't realized it, someone else picks the stories you hear.

Do you wonder why you haven't heard of this story: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/lawyer-officers-knee-neck-killed-man-2018-arrest-71347397

never once have you considered that these blacks act differently and do things that other races dont.
Nice bit of racism there.

Serious question, vivify...

When George Floyd was approached by Minneapolis police, was it because the cops were seeking black men to screw with,
or was it because there was an ABP out on George Floyd because he tried to pass a fake $20 bill?

Your inverse racist view of life is guiding you to make false and irrational statements. So sorry, old chap.
Would a white guy get killed for "passing a fake $20 bill"?

"Inverse racism"? Holy crap, that's a new one on me.

A white guy got killed by cops for just being a little "off". Same MO. Knee on neck.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/lawyer-officers-knee-neck-killed-man-2018-arrest-71347397

So we learn it takes even less of a "crime" for a white guy to be killed by police.

Well... there's a job for Fox and... what's that new rant-channel called again? - then, isn't it?

Shame they're not finding any hate-fodder to flog to your masses, isn't it?

Makes you look a bit silly, doesn't it?

"Thar Mediar".

Does that include Fox, Parler, Breitbart, the New York Post, the Scum, and the Daily Heil; or does it mean only those parts of "the media" that do not confirm your biases?

Oh, make no mistake. Inverse racism really does exist. But this isn't it. At all.
