driving while black & wearing bulletproof vests

[JuliefromOhio]

"Last year, four black parole officers driving on their way to arrest someone were blocked in by patrol cars at a busy intersection in the village of Airmont in Ramapo, New York. According to video obtained recently, the police pointed their guns at the parole officers, who had aroused suspicions because they were black people wearing bulletproof vests.
Black law enforcement leaders criticized Ramapo police for the incident, saying it was a case of racial profiling.
“If these guys aren’t safe, imagine what a young black man feels about interacting with the police,” said Damon Jones, the New York representative of Blacks in Law Enforcement of America. “They have no chance.”
The state parole officers filed a federal lawsuit against the town, its police department and others, alleging racial profiling and civil rights violations. Town officials maintain police did nothing wrong.

They had no idea that these were cops. They were from out of town, didn't notify the local police they were coming for someone, the car was unmarked, and four guys are driving around in bulletproof vests.
From the article:"Police said they were responding to a report of people wearing bulletproof vests in a car. They also noted that the parole officers did not alert the department that they were in town for an arrest and their car was unmarked."

I would want my local cops to stop anyone not identified as a p0lice officer driving around in a bulletproof vest.

"......the parole officers were wearing department-issued bulletproof vests with gold badges and identifications clearly displayed on chains around their necks. On the dashboard was an official sign that said “State of New York — Executive Department — Division of Parole,”

they were stopped because they were black.

I don't believe that. Those things wouldn't have been clear to someone just seeing them drive by. How large was the sign on the dashboard? I'd say not that big since they have to see would the windshield! Lol! These things wouldn't have been seen "clearly" to just a passerby. So I think they had every right to call the police with their concerns. This wouldn't have happened if nobody had called them...they stopped this car because of the calls, NOT just because they saw black guys in a car with vests on. I think it's bullsh*t.

they got the calls because the parole officers were black. they made the stop because the parole officers were black.

From your link...........

Police said they were responding to a report of people wearing bulletproof vests in a car.

Someone saw men in a car with bulletproof vests, in a car with no marking on the outside, and you wonder why they called the police? Same thing would happen if it were 4 white guys and you have no proof it wouldn't. Of course someone from the NAACP would call it racial profiling...that's his job! He THINKS he knows what happened, which is BS.

if it were 4 white guys, the citizens would not have called the police.

why am I certain of that? because in small town America (where you live), white folks look at black guys driving thru town as a threat.....ALWAYS......and wearing bulletproof vests only heightened their sense of threat. they would have NEVER viewed 4 white guys the same way.

Ms. Jules,

Of course you can't prove that, i.e., the statement about if there were 4 suspicious white guys, everybody would have looked the other way.

But then again, you've never been able to prove anything you say.

It is true, that if you live in a town that is mostly white and 4 black guys looking suspicious drove through, most people would see it as a threat. If something is out of place, people instinctively look at is as a threat. Four white guys in a car driving through Compton would look like a threat to the people living there. Human nature, sweets.

If 4 WHITE guys were driving through my small town like this, yes...I WOULD feel threatened and I would call the cops. It wouldn't matter what color they were. You're so full of sh*t trying to make this something it isn't. But that's what you do, no surprises here.

i agreed with this post,,because in many [but not all] instances i believe your correct...

but isnt the bigger question WHY?

WHY would the whites react differently?

what or who causes their collective concern?

as you noted,,they dont live among a majority of black people...so WHAT would cause their consternation?
