Officer: “We don’t want you here [in Philadelphia], anyway. All you do is weaken the fucking country.”

Young man: “How do I weaken the country? By working?”

Officer: “No, freeloading,”

Young man: “Freeloading on what? I work.”

Officer: “Do you? Where?”

Young man: “[redacted] Country Club.”

Officer: “Doing what?”

Young man: “I’m a server”

Officer: “A server? Serving weed?”

Don't want him there? Most black people and Hispanic people's ancestors have been in this country for centuries longer than the ethnic whites from which the police forces are typically drawn. Such arrogance.

I'm so amased about how the guy getting searched has such incredible self-constraint. I don't think I could survive such a blatant and obvious assault without flipping out (although I guess that's what these shitheads want).

I mean look at this fucking exerpt.

"I didn't do nothing"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW!?"

"Well... I think I'd know if I'd done-"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW..... WHAT WE KNOW!?"

"What!?"

"HOW?"

"I don't-"

"HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT- HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT ON YOU?"

So basically, for 'mystical reasons that only they know', a bunch of cops grab, verbally and physically harass (and threaten to send to jail) an african-american man walking to work? I can't believe that even the US' judicial system can fall for this blatant racial abuse.

I mean these dogs sound like fucking mentally skewed malicious eight year old school bullies, which would be funny if not for the fact that they have a fucking badge, gun and the ability to arrest.

" What the hell do you think you're doing with your phone? Are you recording?"

"I was. Is that a crime?"

"No It's not a crime but it's not a crime for me to grab you either".

Fucking freaks.

^"Everyone thinks they're a fucking lawyer now."

Yeah, it tells you something when the people supposedly upholding law are like: fucking laws, gettin in the way.

Not that the justice system isn't just the crusty outter shell of the same pile of shit, but it's telling anyway.

I don't know what that pig's problem is, I think a lot of people would prefer a country club that serves weed
