Yep, the claim of black favoritism is untrue. Blacks are so favored that things like this happen.

Watering while Black: Alabama pastor's arrest sparks more scrutiny of race and policing

Michael Jennings wasn't breaking any laws or doing anything that was obviously suspicious; the Black minister was simply watering the flowers of a neighbor who was out of town.

Yet there was a problem: Around the corner, Amber Roberson, who is white, thought she was helping that same neighbor when she saw a vehicle she didn't recognize at the house and called police in Childersburg, Ala.

If they didn't act, this would be a case where cops or citizens are afraid to report something suspect because they don't want to be called a racist.

They saw a car not the black dude. So unless the car was black, racism is not why they called the cops.

Then the cops showed up. Any criminal could say they were just there watering the grass.

He was later charged with obstructing government operations, according to a criminal complaint.

The officer, who was not identified by authorities, asked Jennings if a car parked in the driveway belonged to him. Jennings responded, saying the car was his neighbor's.

Later, the officer told Jennings that the police were responding to a call involving a "suspicious vehicle" and a suspicious person that's "not supposed to be in the yard." The officer then asked Jennings for his identification.

"Who's saying that?" Jennings asked the officer.

"They called about it. ... I don't know," the officer responded.

The exchange between Jennings and the officer led to shouting, as Jennings told the officers that he had done nothing wrong. After about 10 minutes, Jennings was placed in handcuffs for not providing the officers with his identification.

Following Jennings' arrest and being placed in handcuffs, an unidentified neighbor — the same one who called authorities about Jennings being a "suspicious person" — told the police officers that she recognized him.

While the charges against Jennings were later dismissed by a municipal judge in June, the pastor said he's never experienced anything like his arrest before

56 year old black guy in Alabama and admittedly While the charges against Jennings were later dismissed by a municipal judge in June, the pastor said he's never experienced anything like his arrest before

So someone called the cops. They showed up and he was acting suspect/argumentative. Uppity. He didn't live there. Couldn't show ID. And was being a dick. That's how you get arrested.

Alabama law states that any officer "may stop any person abroad in a public place" if they suspect that the person is committing or has committed a felony or another public offense — and can demand the person's name, address and an explanation of their actions.

However, attorneys for Jennings said in their statement that "Alabama's Stop and Identify Law did not require Pastor Jennings ... to identify himself because he was not in a public place."

BULLSHIT! He was on someone else's private property!!!!
