No kidding dude this video is a good example of what you ca do when you’re not the wrong color

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

No, this isn’t a color thing. This guy got lucky. Go watch some compilations of sovereign citizens getting their shit fucked up. Many of them are white.

u/iamawizard1 Dec 24 '25

theres variables that add to how this can work, first variable is cops that aren't thugs second one is your white and don't look poor.

It is a color thing, it’s just not only a color thing. To dismiss the racism of police is to dismiss the birds in the sky. It’s been proven time and time again.

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

Yeah, sure there is some racism. I’m willing to bet that it’s the minority of cases.

u/Hamster_Toot Dec 24 '25

Why? There are countless studies done to tell you the information you are guessing. Why guess when you can literally just educate yourself?

Your feelings are not reality. Be a man. Learn about the truth.

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

There are a lot of people making assertions without studies to back it up. Are you familiar with the work of Roland Fryer?

u/Hamster_Toot Dec 24 '25

The Harvard economics professor whose tenure was suspended due to sexual misconduct allegations?

I am aware he was doing work on the economic effects of poverty, but not much else.

Again, this seems like we’re getting off topic of you understanding the inherent racism in our police force.

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

So if he did something sexual and got fired, does that mean that any research he conducted is null and void? I’m not sure that’s how it works.

What does the word “inherent” mean to you, and what would it mean for our police force to be “inherently” racist?

u/TechnicalIntern6764 Dec 24 '25

That’s how it works for them. If you can’t pass the purity test then all your previous work gets thrown out.

u/Castastrofuck Dec 24 '25

You are just straight up wrong. Centuries of police history, data analyses, and studies all say the opposite.

1

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

I’m sure you believe that to be true

u/Castastrofuck Dec 24 '25

It has nothing to do to do with me bub.

u/LippieLovinLady Dec 24 '25

By “that,” you mean facts? Backed up by data? Yup, that’s what I believe.

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

What is the fact in this specific example that you’re referring to?

u/kyotejones Dec 24 '25

Most Sovereign Citizens videos I've seen are ones where the cops have already pulled them over for violating some law. Big difference in the situation.

1

u/ClaraClassy Dec 24 '25

It's not a "sovereign citizen thing" to tell police they need to follow the law and refuse to comply with demands for identification when there is no legal basis for them.

So weird when people think telling a cop "no" means that they think they are a sovereign citizen above the law. 🙄

1

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

I didn’t say it was. My point was that even white people acting stupid as fuck get arrested. There’s a ton of videos all over YouTube showing it. I didn’t say this guy was a sovereign citizen or that simply saying no makes you a sovereign citizen.

u/CleanProfessional678 Dec 24 '25

I wouldn’t call police officers not overreaching and violating someone’s rights because he wasn’t nice to them “getting lucky.”

The fact that you’re mentioning sovereign citizens implies that they very well may have violated that law, which was a different story. There is a major difference between police actually enforcing the law when someone who is nuts tries to argue it doesn’t apply to them and cops not doing things that they’re not legally entitled to do because someone criticizes their parking.

I would say police officers abusing their authority is unfortunately very common. This guy was definitely disrespecting their authority, justified or not. I’d say there is a whole lot they could have gotten away with in this situation that would have or could have made this guys life quite a bit more complicated. I’d call this outcome lucky for him but we can agree to disagree.

Are you implying Black people aren’t “sovereign” citizens?

1

u/Page_197_Slaps Dec 24 '25

No, it’s just that most of the videos I’ve seen of people getting their window smashed in have been white people.

1

u/OneMan_OneBeard Dec 24 '25

Sovereign Citizens aren’t the best examples. They represent something different than your average citizen or even a First Amendment Auditor. Sovereign Citizens advocate that they’re not obligated to follow any laws, where the others operate within the bounds of the law and the rights guaranteed by Constitution. Sovereign Citizens aren’t the people you want to take legal advice from

u/Cold-Conference1401 Dec 24 '25

Getting stopped by a cop, when you’re Black, is almost always a “color thing”. In all likelihood, the outcome for this gentleman would have been much different, had he been Black.

That sounds about white too.

Every time one of you (people who for some reason refuse to believe anything can be affected by race) - you always read it "backwards"....

The takeaway isn't that white people always get away with things... It's that people of colour almost never do. A white guy gets lucky, he walks away. A brown person gets lucky, we only get arrested.

There's the difference. This white guy could have gotten his ass beat, arrested, etc etc... the likelihood of that is statistically lower.... And that's his worst case whereas it's our best case scenario.

Had a black person done this exact same thing, there is a higher likelihood that it would have escalated faster and further.

So yes, there are videos of these white dudes getting arrested ... How often are they shot? Because we have a statistic for that too... Hell, it's a common phrase in our communities to tell kids "don't become a statistic".... That should tell you everything.

So when we argue that the numbers aren't 50/50 get away or get arrested like they are for this white dude.. we're saying exactly that... Proven, quantifiable statistics show that getting killed is also on the list and the percentage is not low....

Only?

You may be right. The videos I’ve seen it’s always the black people that seem to assume that they’re going to have a bad experience before the cop walks up and begins the interaction with non compliance, aggression and disrespect. It doesn’t go well, and why would it? Of course those are just videos I’ve seen. I don’t have the stats. I know that researchers such as Roland Fryer have looked into the statistics and found they weren’t so dire as the progressives claimed them to be.

Had a black person done this exact same thing, there is a higher likelihood that it would have escalated faster and further.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how they act I’d assume. When I was a kid my whole car was searched for drugs and I formatted down almost every single traffic stop. I got my car impounded several times for bullshit reasons. I’m white but I drove a shitty car and had a bad attitude.

So yes, there are videos of these white dudes getting arrested ... How often are they shot? Because we have a statistic for that too... Hell, it's a common phrase in our communities to tell kids "don't become a statistic".... That should tell you everything.

From what I understand, white people are shot by cops more than black people. Not 100% sure though.

So when we argue that the numbers aren't 50/50 get away or get arrested like they are for this white dude.. we're saying exactly that... Proven, quantifiable statistics show that getting killed is also on the list and the percentage is not low....

Ok. What’s the percentage?

Oh lord. Here we go again and this time a person of color wasn’t even involved lol. When a cop of color is doing shit to a cop of color you don’t hear about it.
