I don't think if he gave them his ID would've changed anything. The decision to lock him up like an animal was already made long before they came to the area, as 911 despatch call will inform them of the race of the person they gonna deal with.

Just wondering though, do any of Y'all from the states had similar experience with cops there?

I think it's pretty normal for one (especially African Americans, Latinos, Africans and other minorities) to have at least one arrest record in USA. I wouldn't be surprised if fah, murax, Grant and the others who grew up there have at least one.

It pisses me off how the Police harass the niggers without fearing retaliation, they don't do this to Arabs, Somalis etc because we will quitely say our Shahaada and claw their throat out, bite their face off before going to sleep with 10 bullets.

You want to be really careful how far you take a refusal to identify. The US Supreme Court says an officer can stop you and demand ID if it is part of an investigation, or if he has received a report of suspicious activity, or if he has a suspicion based on experience. In the Nevada example, the man was fined $250 simply for refusal to ID, and it was OK'd by the Court:

As a matter of policy, I have always cooperated with the police. If they are intrusive, ineffective or messing up, the mayor's office and the courts are the places to fight them. I have fought bad tickets and bad policing before, and it has worked. I for one would not challenge a cop on the street, regardless of the circumstances. Talk to his boss. This should be especially effective after Ferguson.

TAM,

I have never been arrested as an adult. As a teenager, I got caught with a suspicious beaver pelt. My father was tried, convicted and fined $25, with the fine suspended. It was more an embarrassment than anything else.

I was once "carded" on the street, I think because it was raining on and off and I was wearing a big black rain coat. The detective was looking for a "flasher" working the neighborhood!

In the UK you can ask for the officers ID and easily file a complaint against them. Loads of people record videos of officers trying to hassle them but the moment the officer knows he is being recorded and his ID is requested he will shut up and calm down.

Don't let an officer stick a finger in your face and tell you what to do. You're a taxpayer, you pay for his wages and he works for you. Not the other way around.

you should have nothing short of admiration & respect for those that get up every morning, work very hard during the day often endagering their own lives just to protect the general public & ensure law and order reigns supreme..

as for the corrupt ones then ofcourse you have every right to make use of the right channels to air your grievances.

The slavery might have been abolished but the mental slavery and corrupt system is still in place. Nothing has changed really. The black movements was infiltrated and destroyed.

This the mantra the americans use on their slaves, ops I meant citizens. You don't have to respect any cops or admire. Do they ensure Sharia law? No. They don't protect you but they serve the corrupt system. That's why blacks in the us is still second class citizen. Obviousily they are easily tricked and duped by fancy words.
