What To Do If You’re Stopped By the Police

  • Stay calm and in control of your words, body language and emotions.
  • Don’t get into an argument with the police.
  • Never bad-mouth a police officer.
  • Remember, anything you say or do can be used against you.
  • Keep your hands where the police can see them.
  • Don’t run. Don’t touch any police officer.
  • Don’t resist even if you believe you are innocent.
  • Don’t complain at the scene or tell the police they’re wrong or that you’re going to file a complaint.
  • Do not make any statements regarding the incident.
  • Ask for a lawyer immediately if you are arrested.
  • Remember officers’ badge and patrol car numbers.
  • Write down everything you remember ASAP.
  • Try to find witnesses and their names and phone numbers.
  • If you are injured, take photos of the injuries as soon as possible, but make sure you get medical attention first. :-)

For all those who doubted my J train stories…

                                                                          

                                    

  

In today’s New York Post Crime Blotter here’s another one:

  • A teen has been arrested for pummeling a strap-hanger on a subway train in Brownsville, authorities said yesterday.  Christopher Joseph, 18, was smoking aboard a J train heading toward the Alabama Avenue Station at 9:20 last Thursday.  Bothered by the smoke, the victim,33, moved to another seat.  Joseph asked the victim why he moved and, when the victim did not respond, Joseph repeatedly struck him in the face and head.  After the train pulled into the station, the victim notified police and Joseph was arrested on charges of assault, menacing and harassment.

I told you guys that taking this train is like taking your life into your hands.  These kids are freaking savages! 

We don’t have a clue sometimes!

Some of US have been waiting for the day when a Black person, male or female, would be a viable candidate  for the presidential seat; now we have it. 

Why then  must we as BP demand more than what is necessary and politically possible?

I’m referring to the criticism in which Barack was besegeud with from the black community stating that they expected more of a stern commentary from him. Why? Yes, he’s balck and disturbed by the heinous crime and verdict but this man is running for PRESIDENT! Let’s not forget that fact. How can we have such an unrealistic expectation and then expect him to fend off racial attacks from Clinton and McCain.

We love to cry racism but look at the position we’ve now put him in. Seriously, this man needs no dissension amongst those that seek to elevate him.

 

“Well, look, obviously there was a tragedy in New York. I said at the time, without benefit of all the facts before me, that it looked like a possible case of excessive force. The judge has made his ruling, and we’re a nation of laws, so we respect the verdict that came down,” he said in response to a question at a gas station in Indianapolis, where he was holding a news conference. “The most important thing for people who are concerned about that shooting is to figure out how do we come together and assure those kinds of tragedies don’t happen again,” he continued. … “Resorting to violence to express displeasure over a verdict is something that is completely unacceptable and counterproductive.”

He has the scrutiny of the media on the Pennsylvania debacle, the lingering thorn in the side Jeremiah Wright episode and all the racial garbage coming from both Clinton and McCain and now folks want to further complicate matters. Brilliant. Guess you fools have forgotten that he still has a long way to go to win over alot more white voters. How about we get him into office and then go from there.
