Wow ! I just saw the video of the Roof, arrest...stunning, is all I can

[jaysunb]

say.....it was so easy and professional that I applaud the police and truly wonder why that's not the SOP. For everybody.

3. they pulled him over on a tip

so they were prepared for dealing with a possible mass killer. Weapons drawn and then holstered? Why??

Frankly,, I'm surprised he didn't resist.

But to get back to your point......probably skin color had a lot to do with it. Just another example of racism.

4. To me it looked like neither side resisted, and it went smoothly.

5. Then he got hungry and they stopped at Burger King

Cuz he wanted it his way I guess.

6. uh huh.....n/t

[SusanCalvin]

7. I am dumbfounded, really.

Yes, they treated him like a human being, but yes he was a presumably dangerous suspect. I sure hope all precautions were taken.

And, no, I don't think it's very likely he would have received this treatment if he were not white. Pretty much anywhere in the US of A.

9. I haven't seen it yet but I want that to be SOP for everybody too, jaysun
