Philly cops recorded in racially-abusive stop-and-frisk: ‘All you do is weaken the f—ing country’

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/10/12/philly-cops-recorded-in-racially-abusive-stop-and-frisk-all-you-do-is-weaken-the-f-ing-country/

Officer Philip Nace and another officer from the city’s 25th District can be seen in the video, dated Sept. 27, as they stop two unidentified men, according to reports from the Philadelphia Daily News. The two officers stopped the men after one of the men said hi to another pedestrian in the North Philadelphia neighborhood.
...
During the 16-minute recording, Nace told one of the men: “We don’t want you here, anyway. All you do is weaken the f—ing country.”

“How do I weaken the country? By working?” the man asked.

“No, freeloading,” Nace replied.

Apparently still a crime to be black in many parts of the country.

someone with a brain and know they could be called on it ...man that is the oldest line ever - hey racist pigs at least come up with some new bullshit ever few decades when you have your power outbursts on innocent people who are free to walk any street ..."You don't say hi to strangers in this neighborhood"

Was the victim African American?
Sort of sounded Hispanic accent and the comments fit that racist code talk “We don’t want you here, anyway. All you do is weaken the f—ing country.”

BUT it does not matter who they are picking on today. Let these freaks keep up their illegal power trip and it could be everyone they do not like the looks of at anytime they feel like it so every person should be concerned about what is going on because every person and their grandmother is at risk with them on the street

Of course being black (and /or maybe brown?)are the biggest crimes to them anywhere they are "serving &protecting"

This will not change unless people start paying attention.
