I can't speak from the perspective of a minority either. I can speak from the perspective of a white woman who gets away with murder (well, accidentally running red lights) by batting my eyes and joking with the cops until they're like, "Awww, we'll let you off with a warning this time, sweetheart." And then I watch…

Yeah, the "how often they deal with mouthy people" thing sounds an awful lot like "he was having a bad night so we should excuse him getting fed up and beating on someone". It's the cop's job to not escalate the situation. If the perpetrator escalates, it's the cop's job to defuse the threat in a manner that is safest…

Or, y'know, he should have treated her with respect to begin with. He did not. He approached her with "Do you realize this is a street??" and when she asked why she was being stopped even when people are constantly jaywalking there, he got angry and threatened to slam her against his car, even AFTER she made it a…

If laws requiring ID to vote have been ruled illegal, I don't understand how you can be required to have ID just to leave your house. People without ID would be breaking the law just to get to the polling place!

If you can't handle your shit when someone is rude to you, don't be a cop.

He was being EXTREMELY rude and she just wanted him to change his tone. Is that really so unreasonable? Also WTF is up with this "you will be arrested for failing to present your ID" thing? Do we live in the fucking USSR where you have to carry around your papers lest you be arrested for no reason?

Bullshit. Having equality doesn't mean treating people the EXACT SAME WAY no matter what. You have to take into account someone's experiences, whether they're male, female, gay, straight, black, Hispanic, anything like that. You wouldn't stop a rape victim and start cracking rape jokes even if you'd do that to someone…

I'll keep that in mind if I work retail. It's okay if I snap at the seventh or eighth customer because other customers were mouthy.

Mouthy white lady here - guess what? I've mouthed off to cops plenty of times and never been thrown on the ground and cuffed for it, nor threatened with violence.

I rarely have ID on me when I'm out. I suppose I could show them my Starbucks membership points card because that's often all I have on me

When people just hand over their ID when they don't need to, or allows searches because they're "not hiding anything", they're enabling the abuse of authority and giving away everyone's rights as well.

I don't care how often they deal with mouthy people. Our constitutional rights shouldn't vanish the moment a cop approaches us. If anything, our constitutional rights are meant to protect us from the police.

So not being super duper nice means you deserve to get your ass beat? This is why we now live in a near police state.

YES!

Even if she got mouthy that is not an excuse for violence.

At the 2:40 mark, it appears a few more folks are jaywalking.

Psh, when I get 100 balls for my birthday everyone just slut-shames me :(

Because people did not consent to being guinea pigs for experiments designed solely to fuck with their moods. It's next-level intrusion and it should make us all very worried about how we are being manipulated. There are actual ethical rules for this kind of study, and the editor of the results herself wasn't sure…

While the song was horribly inappropriate he has come out and said he regrets writing Kim. He was in a bad place full of substance abuse. I'm not saying it excuses what he did, it was fucked up.

Not to mention used her voice on the track of the most graphic one. Having my father tell me his fantasies about murdering my mother, no amount of 'present, attentive' parenting is really gonna help after that. I respect an artist's freedom, and I know he's had a history of substance abuse that probably doesn't help…
