Ohio cop tells black man he tailed him and pulled him over for ‘direct eye contact’

[reconmark]

The officer is seen telling Felton he pulled him over for not signalling a turn 100 feet before doing so...

Felton then asks the officer again why he would pull him over.

“Because you made direct eye contact with me, and you held on to it while I was passing you,” the officer admits.

DWB.

I've seen this phenomenon quite personally. And in Ohio, to boot.

Sometimes people that work in the public sector have to realize that you can make the public your allies or your enemies.

LOL. The cop answered the dumb fuck's question the first time. So he gave him an answer to ruffle his feathers up a bit for being an asshole. Why does someone need to explain this to you?

That doesn't work if they're already determined to be your enemy, for doing your job.

And you think that is appropriate behavior for a cop? Really?

Sure. Assholes love to be outraged. It was a public service.

The cop has alread been reprimanded and counseled to give better customer service.

Let's move on.

Ah so you can see inside the mind of a cop you've never met.
Coppologists. God love 'em.

Because this kind of feather-ruffling is something which very easily could become one of those "I thought he was reaching into his waistband" shootings that provoke major riots.

A smart cop would simply respond very neutrally to the "dumb-fuck's" questions as he's writing the summons, hand the summons to the "dumb-fuck," and say goodbye.

Oh boy, just add this to the list of things the USMB'ers will excuse as being a valid reason for harassing someone using their badge.

Why would I tell you how to feel? You already called it a travesty.

Thanks

Don't tell me you're Jewish, black and gay!

And that "victim" Flanagan thought he had problems. Stats is going to go postal any time now!

You forgot to say your catchphrase:

This isnt about race

 

[reconmark]

It's hilarious...the man was told that although HE DID SIGNAL PRIOR TO HIS TURN he did not signal 100 feet before he reached the corner.
How many posters would defend this if it were them or their family members???

Then to be told he was stopped because he looked another man in the eye...when did that become probable cause to stop a driver.
Maybe the opinions would be different had it happened to a person of a different race.

Staring down a cop

Many of us have maintained eye contact with a cop and forced him/her to turn away from the gaze. And if you have vid and camera feed, even better.
