How are the police allowed to do this?
 

Here's the story on ESPN Big Scary Black Dude Tasered

The real story is Weary, a pro football player, was pulled over for being black and driving an Impala.

According to the article police were on alert for criminal activity. According to police, Weary looked "very suspicious". He looked at police several times. This also seemed suspicious. They noticed that Weary did not have a front license plate so they pulled him over. Weary wants to know why he's being pulled over; the police won't say and things escalate from there. He was tasered and hauled off to jail. So far no bail and no charges.

This just seems incredibly effed up that the cops could do this.

I guess Weary was tired of being profiled.

"After exiting the car he continued to be verbally combative toward the two officers and refused their commands, police said."

"It was then that he pushed the officer away and was shot with a Taser..."

Whether he was being wrongfully profiled or not, his actions gave the police a legitimate excuse to do what they did.

He was missing one of his license plates...

cops can pull you over on pretty much whatever premise they want

if he actually pushed one of them that was dumb

Is that a law in some states?

In arizona, NO ONE has a front plate

If the NFL would have put the Texans in LA instead of Houston he would have been fine cause you don't need the front plate here. So the NFL is to blame.

I am tired of the "racial profiling" hysteria.

The fact is, if you were to research those imprisoned for grand theft auto, a predominant number are African-American males. That is completely not detabale. So naturally, cops had suspicions that a scary looking black dude driving with no front plate, could of been up to no good. Rather than ignoring it, they questioned him, and ended up being shoved and taunted.

Would you rather law enforcement turn blind eyes to avoid possibly making a mistake, or would you rather them pursue every hunch within reason, and nab some car jackers?

Should airport screeners not unfairly profile shady looking Muslims, and instead 'randomly' frisk old white women in the name of political correctness?
