Arrested for being WHITE? Grandfather who was repeatedly stopped and cuffed for walking with his black granddaughter. Talk about reverse discrimination! My mother has a black friend she grew up with in Charleston, SC and was actually pulled over by a Bubba cop who who inquired if she was OK as she is white. It’s amazing this happens in this day and age.

Just remember as you read this story , its hard to see racism if you're white.
Jeeeeezzzz, Rose. I almost forgot.
I KNEW you hadn't been paying attention! ;)
Maybe if the guy had been at leat polite to the cops he wouldn't have gotten hassled. See how far beinf a douche to the cops gets you. I hate cops in general, but you're jjust asking for trouble by being a smart-ass.
Sorry, but nothing good ever comes from talking with cops. God bless the work they do but I will never talk to law enforcement after watching this video. James Duane, a professor at Regent Law School and a former defense attorney, explains why you should never agree to be interviewed by the police. A bit extreme but after watching this video tell me what good can come of an interview?

Thanks for the video.
Great video. EVERYONE should watch this (and the answer from the cop) and take it to heart *sorry NSS:(
I hope a cop saves your life some day. Really and truly.
Just so you can spend every minute of the rest of your life knowing you owe it to one of those blue-wrapped pigs.
Speaking as one of those "pigs" thank you! You would never believe how many times the race card gets pulled out nowadays, and by a lot more white liberals. The latest about a month ago here in Kalifornia. "You only pulled me over cause I am white, you gottta get your quota of white people too"..(Said the lady with the Obama 2012 bumper sticker)..Some days you just wanna scream, other days all you can do is laugh at the asshats..The reason the white lady got stopped? 65 mph in a 25 mph school zone with kids present...On radar.....Oh yes she got a TICKET.
Yeah, I know several liberals that think that they are too good for tickets.
Turns out... They're wrong. [snerk]
They get all mouthy when they decide they're smarter than some 'redneck cop', start to run their mouth about quotas and stuff.
Me, I just act with some respect, and sometimes they let me by. Sometimes they don't. I am the one that is speeding, so I have no good excuse. Thank God for cruise control -- it's what keeps my lead foot in line.
ok I plead the fifth on just how heavy my lead foot is...(looks around all innocent and stuff)
There is no explaining ignorance and intolerance.
That would explain why I have never been able to figure out liberals.
One of the comments to the grandfather's blog said "thank goodness you live in liberal Austin or you might not have survived the encounter."
That's a steaming load. It's because grandfather lives in liberal Austin that he got stopped!
'Bout the first thing I noticed in the story, too. It's always the leftard places.
Agreed. I gots to be real I wouldn't really look at them twice. If anything I would say it is cute that the father is playing with his daughter. Certain liberals wouldn't make that assumption. There heads are filled with nastiness. Now it is always possible this was an abduction, but abductors very rarely go out with their abductees on walks.
A commenter also writes about a similar experience on the campus of UC Berkeley. Validates your point, Jim. Not that a progressive is capable of getting that point.
My brother and I had a similar experience too. My brother was giving me a ride to work and his friend a ride to the community college. We got pulled over because we had a black man in the back seat and the cop wanted to be sure we wern't being car jacked. Sad.
That is terrible!
Both instances (in the article and the description) are extremes and both wrong. The cops need to be sued period.
For many years now, I have been doing some (make that a lot) volunteer work at the local police dept. The cops know me well and will talk when I am around. Anyway, the other day some cops were talking about a suspicious person call they received, and in fact get the same call somewhat regularly. When following up and asking the reporting person who, what, where, when, they are told "Well this person was walking through the neighborhood and he is, you know, black." Was he doing anything besides walking? "Well, no." Etc, Etc.
The cops were sincerely disgusted about this.
This is a fairly well to do suburb and very very liberal, or at least we seem to elect liberals to local offices. State senator and representative from our area are raving loons.
I can imagine liberals in a panic wondering how the blackie got out of the plantation of the ghetto where liberals had fought very hard to put them in.
No plantation for her. She has a law degree from SF State, passed her Lsat's and is now figuring out what law school to go to. She even works for a living and is self-supporting has a 2012 Honda Accord she just bought. Probably strikes terror into the hearts of liberals all over the place.
The funniest one I've seen yet is a woman and her husband who immediately left when me, my wife and her sat down in the adjacent booth at a local restaurant. The woman then stopped in front of the window at our booth and proceeded to make faces and nasty gestures at us. Must have been the local KKK husband and wife night out or something.
Good for her. Girl is going places and she needs to stinking government to make it happen. People need to remember that the KKK and other racist organizations had (and still in my opinion) their roots in the Democratic party.
My step-daughter is black. We live in an affluent area. She gets pulled over periodically for no reason (no lights out, not speeding, registration current, not driving a Buick on 24's, etc)., we call it DWB. Driving while black. You'd think in California of all places this shit wouldn't happen, but it does.
The cops were awful, but in several cases, looks like someone *reported* him to the cops as a kidnapper. My guess is that some do-gooder asshat like an Obloviator saw it, and automatically assumed that the white guy was up to no good.
Regardless of being a white or a black person, the person that reported him is a racist. If it is a black person it is obvious why, if it is a white person because the person cannot assume that they may be related because one is white and one is black. White liberals believe they are not racists, but assuming that white people and black people cannot be friends or related to one another is a form of racism.
