White men point pistol at black Uber driver's face for cleaning out car

[left-of-center2012]

A black Milwaukee Uber driver was confronted by two gun-wielding white men while working on Saturday. Darnell Smith was driving for Uber when he stopped to clean trash left by passengers out of his car.

While stopped, he was approached by two men, including Todd Sincock, who was pointing a gun at him. They demanded to know what Smith was doing and called the police when he wouldn’t tell him.

“I have no obligation to tell you sh*t. Nothing. You didn’t even tell me who you were when you pulled up. For all I know, you were trying to rob me,” Smith says in the video. “Just because you have a conceal and carry license doesn’t mean pull your gun out if you think something is happening,” Smith told WISN.

Sincock told the TV station that he and his brother, who is the one that drew a firearm, “assumed” the black Uber driver was a drug dealer. “We don’t want the drug activity. We don’t want it on our block,” Sincock said.

Police did not charge the white men in the incident.

1. When are these assholes going to be arrested????

[Codeine]

2. "Police did not charge the white men in the incident."

Shocking.

3. Well could have been worse

It not as if they killed him then the cops come they tell there side and they are hailed as heroes or something.

4. Left-of-center, seriously, WHY just before the midterms

are so many of these stories appearing? Why only reports of wypepo attacks on black victims? Although the percentage incidence on POC is of course significantly higher, numbers of attacks on whites at 76% of the population, by whites on whites and by and using police, even including executions by police, are far more numerous.

So where are the outraged stories? Why are all these abuses of blacks being posted here with absolutely NO context? Unfortunately for propagandists, we seem to be in a execution-for-being-black desert.

But murderous police behavior is absolutely about growing authoritarianism in government that threatens all citizens. And how often is that discussed?

Gee, what could behind this endlessly repetitive hammering of divisive racist themes?

Could this possibly be about suppressing voter turnout? Especially black voter turnout?

7. WHY would it suppress voter turnout to report facts?

Whites may still be a majority in third country- but FAR more ppl of darker complexions are harassed proportionally....

WHAT do u think is the harm of posting reports of harassment?

[Hortensis]

8. WHAT could be the harm of stirring POC resentment

against all whites just before an existential election? One which could conceivably settle their hash permanently?

You'd do best to regard this FLOOD OF DIVISIVE STORIES as themselves attacks first on POC, then of course as also on all the rest of AMerica.

Don't be naive. And I mean that. Doesn't matter what color, ethnicity, or political party you are, your ass is on the line also.

10. "stirring POC resentment"....wow just wow

I am suprised. Wow

[Hassin Bin Sober]

13. I'm not.

[irisblue]

15. I am appalled that any DU member would say that

POC are not required to be Democrats. POC get to self actualize as every other person is.

[irisblue]

12. Do ypu think there are no othet sources of info

For POC to access? The Root, The Grio, newspapers, twitter& TV?

Again. Wow

[alittlelark]

17. I just read your reply... I hope u r wrong...

...but then a good percentage of my fellow countrymen and women have truly shocked and horrified me over the last 2 years or so... 😟

I hope u r wrong for the sake my mental health.

18. Scary, but we know it's not wrong. We're at a culmination

of 40 years of plotting and undermining the power of the people until they can get overthrow it altogether and take control..

These critical midterms mean professional agents are at work on all social media, including of course DU. They're mostly archconservative, so we can assume they mean nothing but harm for minorities, but then they mean the same for all members of the various working classes, whom they intend to control and exploit, and discard.

They're working to eliminate most of our federal and state governments to tax and regulate their activities and instead take control of them to control us.

Those behind this HAVE to greatly reduce and then eliminate altogether the ability of people of all colors to control them through the vote. Because about the time they get try to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and most labor and civil rights protections, all coming up fast (!) their asses are grass -- unless they have taken way our ability to stop them.

This of course does pose increased dangers for minorities, because if they lose the vote they lose the power to control how they are treated.

What's happening blatantly right now with the attempt to greatly subvert the power of the electorate in Georgia should be a big wake-up call to everyone. It may seem to be all about racism to people who aren't seeing beyond that, but racist angers are fuel being gathered and tossed on the fires they've laid under our democracy itself.

They NEED as many POC as possible to be angry enough at all whites to refuse to vote to stop them. Divide and conquer.

19. It either happened or it didn't

It would be wrong not to report on racism if it took place. I don't think it is divisive then again Im not harassing POC over simply living their lives.

[OhZone]

5. Everything while black -

is now illegal.

[obamanut2012]

6. How the actual hell is that not brandishing

AT BEST?

That is a felony and suspension of firearms in most states, including WI.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. Yep.

The assailant even admits they thought he was “a drug dealer” - since when does one have the right to start waiving a gun around for a suspected drug deal across the street from your home? I thought conceal carry was to protect oneself. A conceal carry license doesn’t deputize the holder.

[Caliman73]

14. Agreed. I guess because he didn't point the gun at the guy...WTF?

Obviously, cleaning out your car in a neighborhood is the same as walking up on a person with a gun at your side, let's call it a wash...

I. BACKGROUND

On June 10, 1994, Leonard Schroth, Susan Krahn and her child were in Krahn’s car. Krahn is Sincock’s ex-wife. Schroth, Krahn and her child were driving in the area of North 39th Street and West Villard Avenue, when Sincock arrived in his truck. A confrontation ensued. Schroth and Krahn claimed that Sincock exited his vehicle and began swinging a tire iron at Krahn’s car, breaking the window and injuring Schroth’s arm. Sincock denied these accusations.

Subsequent to this initial confrontation, Schroth and Krahn drove off, but were followed by Sincock to the 4700 block of North Sherman Boulevard. The two vehicles collided at the intersection of Sherman Boulevard and Courtland Avenue. Another confrontation ensued until Sincock jumped back into his truck and drove off. Sincock returned, however, and a third confrontation occurred. Sincock left again, but then returned. At this point, Schroth, Krahn and her child were walking to an apartment building. Sincock drove his truck into the yard Schroth and Krahn were crossing, nearly hitting them, before finally leaving the scene.

As a result of these incidents, Sincock was charged with the aforementioned crimes. His case was tried to a jury. Schroth testified that some of his wounds required stitches, but he elected to treat the cuts himself with a butterfly patch. An investigating officer, John Parker, also testified that in observing Schroth’s injuries, he felt that Schroth’s wounds required stitches
