neither do I. at first I believed their account. initially the cops said they were trying to break into the house, he refused to provide ID, one - mafic Jul 22, 18:49
Probably because there isn't a history of middle aged white guys being railroaded by the police. - TWuG Jul 22, 18:45 7
- So we should always believe that the cops are lying in every situation like this? -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 18:48 6
  - Of course not. But the story as reported seems to show an unhappy black guy getting hassled by cops and getting pissed about it. - TWuG Jul 22, 18:53 5
    - Another story I'm reading indicates that he followed the police out of the house still yelling. - Stephen Jul 22, 19:03 4
      - by witness accounts there were at least four police on his porch, and six or seven police cars in the street. that's not exactly deescalation. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 19:06 3
        
        But when did they arrive? - Stephen Jul 22, 19:08 2
        
        seven cars is overkill for a middle-of-the-day, possible B&E. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 19:26 1
        
        AND overkill for one guy being arrested for Disorderly Conduct. Since he didn't throw punches - TWuG Jul 22, 19:29
