New York policeman having a hard time distinguishing a wallet from a gun?

Interesting video. But also pretty funny as well. XD

Thoughts on this?

 

Wow, that's special. Are they saying that no white person has been shot because of pulling out an object that 'looked' like a gun? If that's the case then that's incredibly rasict of those police men. xD That was pretty funny though...In a sense. They made it into a joke lol...

 

Wow.
A spatula and a hairpin that look like guns.
Though that was kinda racist too.

 

That was pretty funny... not going to lie. Seriously, how does a hairpin look like a gun? xD

Gotta love MM and the NYPD.

 

...

Contacts and glasses should be distributed to all New York police officers.

Either that, or brains.

These guys are the reason I'm not liked by some people at school. Racism sickens me.

 

That's ridiculous. Obviously it's racist, but I loved the heavy sarcasm in that video. Of course, I think police men who mistook a hairpin for a gun deserve to be spoken to in such a condescending way. I loved when he had the poster showing the clear difference between a gun and a wallet.

 

That was.....educational.....

NY, NY police farce...I mean....force aren't the best in NY.

I know this because, I came from a different part of New York,
and the police there could always know what a gun looked like.

 

Note that the areas where people were shot for pulling out items was not merely NY and his demonstration was done there despite some other areas being worse. NY is not the worst by far with that.

However, though Moore does get annoying often with his presentations this was one of the tamer things that does need to be addressed as it does happen too often. It is not just 'racism' but fear on the cops' sides because of the gang related activities that happen and it's the stereotypical thought that black males especially are all in gangs. It doesn't help the image when rappers sometimes make songs like 'Ghost Face Killer' or "Cop Killer' etc and advocate in the lyrics hatred towards cops. Some are genuinely afraid and snap to decisions because of it so I wouldn't pin it alone on racial hatred but more on racial 'profiling' instead. This doesn't excuse the fact people are shot for no reason though so it certainly is something that should be paid attention to so that it stops.

 

Ahhh, yeah, true. I guess I overlooked that. Thanks, Repliku. (:


And yeah, I'm going to agree with you there. The thing I found most amazing and actually appalling was the one about the female getting shot with a spatula. <_<;

 

Yeah thats why there are FBI
and sometimes i actually mistake them as guns at gas stations

 

Yeah, that one was just weird though I am prompted to ask why she had a spatula on her... but still that's just ridiculous.
