Having no probable cause to stay, I would then expect them to leave.

And all that could have been achieved by them if they had followed procedure. Knock on the door even if it’s open. Once someone answers identify yourself and state why you’re there. Even if the person who first answers tells you everything is fine, ask if the other occupants can come to the door to talk to you and obse…

What are they toddlers that I should have made them feel better about the ordeal of walking thirty feet to ask me a question?

I know a decent Kevin. He’s a Chinese immigrant though. Definitely not your standard Kevin.

Hmm, I think you figured it out because no other reason fits.

Heyyyy... maybe the lesson that day was in how to get around having a warrant and in seeing how easy it was to do whatever you want because you’re a cop. They just had the bad luck to get someone who wasn’t willing to play along.

What did authority do to earn any respect in this situation?

Please for to be explainink to the group how it is that:

*“the blacks” lack respect for authority by knowing their rights under the Constitution and exercising them

BUT:

*”the whites” have total respect for authority and the rule of law by trying to barge into…

I bet you wave a gun in front of a cops face from your doorstep to celebrate your second amendment rights, and to show them that you’re ready for when the “gummermint comes a’knockin’ to take your private healthcare away.”

You want to have authority respected? How about authority respects the law... how ‘bout that!?

I grew up in Montana and yeah. Our town had maybe 4 black locals one was the principal of the local high school, his wife and his two kids who I went to schools with at the same time. It was a college town so there were a few people of color who came through but not permanent residents. Anyway it really was like South…

That too. “Belligerent” is another loaded term (i.e suspect is being “belligerent”).

I called the station to complain about this and they were full of excuses. They kept harping on the fact that the one who did most of the talking was a rookie as if that made it better. Why the heck are you letting your dumb rookie run his mouth? And why didn't whoever was training him shut him up?

Right, everyone is so respectful of their neighbor’s peace and quiet whenever we hear about a citizen standing up for themselves.

*shrugs*

Yes, what is up with cops thinking they have the run of people’s property? They came to my house once and said it was because there had been reports of a woman screaming. I was home and hadn’t heard anything of the kind and told them so. Then they ask if they can walk through my house to the back yard to check it out.…

These grays out here staying SO MAD about this with a lot of hypotheticals.

Just some guy who thinks he’s in charge, and is trying his best to f**k things up for a woman who knows her rights. God, this is the best thing I’ve seen all week!

There are only .6% Black people in Montana. Her, the man in her house, and maybe Jimmy down the street. They probably get more outrageous calls about Whites and Native American than Blacks.

good on her
