30. is this your "objective" viewpoint speaking?
because it smacks of prejudice-

"I have heard the guilty speak like that...."

"That was a cookie cutter 'trying to come off as perfectly innocent' TYPE video"


I hope if you are ever at the mercy of a jury OMC- the term you use to describe your perspective-
the claim of "objectivity" is held to a much stricter standard for those who would determine YOUR guilt or innocence.

You have a decided prejudice of this incident-

Where was the 'evidence' that Rev. Yearwood "cut ahead" in the line????-

I'm old enough to have been part of the generation raised with the need to "QUESTION AUTHORITY"-
Something that needs to be resurrected and remembered today, more than ever.

If you were an African American Male- you might be less inclined to just assume the position that those who wear Police uniforms DICTATE to you- without due cause-- regardless of the ethnicity of the person behind the badge.-

Can you explain why a white male wearing shorts, a canvas hat, carrying a large backpack was allowed to simply stroll by the officers from behind where Rev. Yearwood was standing, without anyone even batting an eye????

Does it matter what part of a persons limb was injured by the Police? Would you have preferred to see some blood perhaps? Would a body cast have changed your 'opinion' of his treatment at the hands of the Officers?

Racism is not only alive and well in the US- it has been undergoing a sick revival under the * administration. IMO.
