apparently they were jaywalking while the light was green

I got busted for jaywalking by University of Pittsburgh police last year. Not even real city cops....COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY COPS.

I complied to everything they were doing just to get out of there and not to make the situation anymore difficult and they just were fukking with me.

I handed them my id and everything when asked...and then asked them politely "is there anything else you need from me" and he responded by saying "why are you getting attitude with me?" and "speak when spoken to" and getting really aggro on me.

As he was writing up a citation, another cop (who was with him) had to restrain him from grabbing his gun when I put my hands in my jean pockets while waiting (not even trying to grab anything...just doing that cause I was bored and felt like putting my hands in my pockets). It's really messed up that a police officer (who isn't even a real Police officer...but a university mall cop) feels threatened by that or should feel threatened...but being black in that situation apparently amplifies that situation in the eyes of police into a "ask questions later" situation.

I just got angry as f*ck even typing that.

check out this post from a Reddit post featuring the title video

I lived near Temple one year and got robbed on my doorstep by a black man with a gun. When the police showed up they asked me to describe him. I described him as best as I could. They sat me down in the back of a cop car and drove around looking for a guy that "matched" the description. When we would pull up to someone there would be another cop there putting hand cuffs on them and questioning them. Then the cop would ask me if it was the guy. None of the guys really matched the description at all, other than their skin color. It was ridiculous. I felt horrible for the guys that they were sitting down and handcuffing for no reason. My description was a guy in his late 20's/early 30's with no facial hair. One of the guys they sat down/handcuffed was around 50 years old and had a beard. I've dealt with the Philly PD on multiple occasions and I've never had a good experience. They all seem to be extremely incompetent, always in a bad mood, and do not understand basic human rights. This video has a lot wrong with it. I hope this guy gets fired. But if he doesn't get fired for this, I'm sure he will get fired later on for some sort of corruption charges.

Why would you reach for anything when dealing with these cops and their inferiority complexes?

When I encounter the police I comply with everything, keep my hands visible and do not move unless I'm instructed to. It's bullshyt but it's called being black in America.
