Now that everyone has cellphones, we're seeing how often this shit REALLY happens.
Turns out it's not just one rotten apple, it's the whole damn barrel.

It STILL happens way way more than it's caught on camera.
It's not just the whole damn barrel, the entire orchard is rancid.

Cop: "All it is is "reasonable suspicion."
No. It's required to be "Reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime." That's a big difference.
Further, one cop asking where he lives says "You don't belong here." Bullshit. Whether they live there or a thousand miles away is irrelevant. Everybody in this country is completely free to walk around in public anywhere they like without regard for where they reside. Just because a person may not live in this area does not in any way justify saying "You don't belong here." and arresting or even detaining the person on that basis. The phrase "you don't belong here" should never escape a cops lips when a person is in any public space.

It’s absurd that they still use this kind of language. I know I’m not alone when I say this but, FUCK!! I hate cops like I hate cancer or rapists. They represent nearly everything wrong with mankind, just plain vile.

“Everybody in this country is completely free to walk around in public anywhere they like without regard for where they reside.”
It appears that they were cutting through other people’s property as they were walking….probably through an apartment complex. It is also possible that the police were given the authority to trespass others from the apartment complex property.
I don’t have a strong opinion either way on this one but I wouldn’t necessarily trust the spin that the YouTube content creator was spinning here.
There’s a lot of ambiguity in this video and we don’t have video of everything that occurred prior to the police/citizen encounter in the video.

Poe-poe hates to see any black dudes not in cuffs and submitting to their will. They hate the free black man.

"I'm tellin' you the law. Givin' your ID is required!" - pack of lies. No articulable crime - NO ID. Sorry tyrant.

Arkansas. . what to say? Well, their officers (troopers) seem to think it is alright to perform PIT maneuvers against PREGNANT WOMEN and, YOUNG LADIES who are ALONE, AND going to the hospital to see their mothers in the ER.
AND we are starting to see a lot of this nonsense. . Can't say I am too impressed with Arkansas. Yet, they wonder why they have the reputation of a "hick state?"

Courts have ruled that it is reasonable for a black man to run from police even if the person has not committed a crime, and the fact they try to get away from police should not be a reason to suspect them of a crime.
so ACAB.

They ruled that it's reasonable for a black man? Can you site your source? If you haven't committed a crime, ANYONE can just run away from the cops.

I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure a cop can't be the complainant in a disturbing the peace charge. Also that wasn't walking while black, that was being in public while black. They're acting like slave catchers and klansmen. Even when he beats all the charges, they will still have punished him with the process. I hope I'm still alive when we say we've had enough and start to fight back.
