Apparently black passengers carrying guns tend to sit in the passenger seat. Choosing that seat is like asking to be harrassed or arrested. In the following video, posted in another thread, it’s rather unclear why cops pulled the car over in the first place, but once they saw a black passenger in the passenger seat the cops knew their lives were in danger and acted appropriately.
The cop asks the driver four times if it’s his car. The driver answers four times that it’s a rental car. After all this insolence, the cop had little choice but to hand-cuff the driver. They pat down the passenger with a gun but — where’s the gun? They search the car thoroughly. Where’s the gun? Where’s that faint small of marijuana coming from? No planting of false evidence by these noble man and woman in blue.
But the most beautiful gun here was the gun the passenger-without-a-gun didn’t have. That gun’s non-existence was so beautiful that it may have saved the lives of one or two blacks in Iowa. Yaaayyy guns!
These would-be gun-toters were delayed only 12 minutes on their trip to the gun store, or wherever they were going, but, in this video which YouTube recommended for those who’d just watched “Dude keeps composure” a female possibly trying to smuggle a bomb was delayed almost an hour and missed her flight.
The woman was apparently carrying a bomb in a bottle of her own breast milk, or so the diligent TSA officials thought. But the TSA was on to her — she’d tried the same ruse a week or two earlier. The terrorist pointed out that TSA’s own regulations call for alternate inspection of breast milk, but the TSA agents went above-and-beyond the call of duty, carefully insisting on the X-ray inspections anyway. Don’t we need more TSA inspectors like this, willing to bend the rules to Make America Safe Again?
Worried that the undiscovered bomb might be on a timer, the TSA agents kept the possible bomb-maker and her bomb in the special detention cell for half-an-hour before proceeding with the inspection, putting their own lives at risk from a sudden bomb explosion rather than letting her board the plane and put all its passengers at risk.
Contrast these episodes with the lackadaisical policing I saw just a few days ago in rural Thailand. The police knew methamphetamine was being consumed and possibly sold from the poor squatter's house near my own home. Police went in to confront the criminals and noted a bedridden almost-paralyzed woman the criminals were tending daily.
I'm sure the diligent and brave police in the U.S. would have tazed grandma a few times to see if she was faking, then left laughing with everyone else in handcuffs. Do the Thai cops do that? Nope, gross dereliction of duty was the order of the day. Seeing the elderly woman needed her care-givers, the cops left empty-handed; the criminal methheads were free to continue eating their pills (when they could scratch together enough money to buy one). These soft-hearted cops even handed grandma the equivalent of $10.
***Corrupted*** so easily by a little bit of pity — how utterly contemptible. No wonder Americans discussing a possible move to a less-developed country are happy to emphasize the sterling qualities of conscientious law enforcement officers in the U.S. in contrast to the police corruption in a place like Thailand.
