Generally, people out in nice neighborhood don't dress like gang bangers or look like crack addicts...

I've always been respectful towards the police and have never had a problem.
Pulled over for driving while young? Deal with it. If your youth is anything like mine was there's a good chance you are doing something illegal at any given moment, especially if you're in a car with a bunch of your friends.  It'll all stop once you've reached a certain age and level of maturity and then it's your turn to laugh at all the young people getting harrassed.

Of course, it may be an idea to talk to cops, find out how they think, hear some of their horror stories; in other words, get some perspective on the relationship between "them" and "us". Lots of young people I know would NEVER consider doing this, of course, allowing as how young guys are ALWAYS right...

Theres an overpass above these kids and they are walking across (an obviously) dangerous section of road while EVERYONE around them seems to have no problem with the concept of the pedestrian overpass. Cops like the one in this clip are sadly the same guys who have to clean up the mess when ignorant people think they know better. Dont kid yourself - Jaywalking isnt just dumb, its LETHAL. When I see people doing it I not only want to fine them, but a good wake-up slap across the face is tempting also! Just last week I was at an intersection and a woman was jaywalking using her baby/stroller as leverage. She was yelling a torrent of abuse at passers-by as they tooted their horns and shouted at her to get her kid off the road and show some common-sense. Sad that people like her are even allowed to have kids at all... |

That was undoubtedly a selfish apology... she was probably advised by her lawyer to do so to make her look better in court!

I never once saw anyone ever get arrested or took aside for a talking, just for j-walking. It happens ALL the time in and around Detroit. I don't agree with the officer nailing the woman either BUT...
Adrenaline is a crazy thing. The officer has to assume that any physical attempt on him is potentionally dangerous or deadly. A routine traffic stop? Their is no such thing as a "routine traffic stop", each time could be the officers last. He/she doesn't know what that person is carrying or who they are. That other woman running her mouth should have just shut it and kept a bit of distance. And it doesn't help that the whole neighborhood gathers around like some spectacle and are more worried about some idiot resisting handcuffs (just because your handcuffed doesn't mean you won't be let go...it's half the time strictly for safety purposes) than for the officers own safety. Especially that one dumbass, "Yo man, did you get that on tape !?!"...what a joke.

...And hey, she should consider herself lucky. It is Detroit - She could have been 'arrested' by ED-209... And we all know how that panned out for poor ol Kenny. :)
