The courts found that Kylie Rittenhouse was justified in his shootings, and they also found that this man was entitled to a fat stack. lol You cannot argue with them.
I don't care about your skin color, I care about character & only judge others on that basis. You are either a quality person or you aren't. Color's got nothing to do with it.
If lights are on, that would be less of an indicator that anything nefarious was going on, because you'd shut the lights off at closing, and criminals wouldn't or couldn't know where how to turn them on. People stay in buildings after hours all the time, like the Janitor coming in, or third shift stockers. There is nothing odd about it at all, especially in California where you can find masses of people up, walking around at all hours.
You don't care about skin color, yet the neighborhood you live in, the school you went to, you spouse, your friends, are all white lol. You don't care about race, except for in every single circumstance.
Prove it.
So are black people. Some, not all. Just like every other race. You wear your victimhood like a badge of honor, but it comes across as just another pathetic excuse for your personal failures.
'Innocent until proven guilty' is only relevant AFTER you are charged. In your example, if the cops had reasonable suspicion that the car was stolen, they COULD detain you until it could be determined that the car was yours.
"Presumption" One person presumed and it was bad.
Tell John that. He said that suspicion of black people is warranted, yet it is not for white people or the cops. You cannot have it both ways.
Nor can you, but, you seem to be trying, Tom.
500 years worth of anecdote is pretty compelling, on top of the science that proves it..
So far you have provided anecdotal testimony and nothing more.
My point was that you are just as guilty of prejudice as the cops that wanted to know if the black man owned the store.
You people were made for each other and why the problem still exists ...
.
Exactly. Probable cause. They had no probable cause. Probable cause is not randomly going up to people and ascertaining if they are the owner. That is and should be illegal. The courts agree, I digress.
But I don't have it both ways.
But, you were trying with your "presumption" post.
Most white people, not all. All races? And? I'm supposed to not care because most people are racist? No, that should make me even more vigilant. When a Muslim blows up the joint, absolutely none of you say "well yt pipo do it 2". When a black BUSTS an elderly white woman up side the frigin' head at random, absolutely none of you say "yt pipo do it to". You say to hell with these N*@@&#!. So I simply don't want to hear this non sequitur.
When I was in the Army Reserves during college, I was at Camp Pendelton Marine base for a rifle match. I locked my keys in my car at the PX. I was in civilian clothes and was trying to remove one of pop-out back windows when the MPs pulled up. They started the normal what's your name, show us some ID and so on. I showed them my DL and Army Reserve ID. Then they wanted my registration and insurance papers. I said sure as soon as I'm done breaking into my car. They laughed and gave me a pointer on how to remove the window. It turned out to be no big deal. If I had gotten confrontational and refused to show ID, they'd have cuffed me and dragged me off to the stockade and let me cool my heels for a either hours or perhaps even a day or so while they "tried to contact my commanding officer" to come get me released. Instead, I cooperated with a reasonable request and was on my way home in about an hour. Getting upset because a cop asks for ID is flat stupid, if you are doing nothing wrong like this store owner was, the cop is protecting you and your property. What would the store owner have done if the cop ignored the situation and his store was burglarized? He'd have been pissed at the cops for NOT demanding ID and stopping the thieves.
