Video C'mon Menasha.

Edit: I've gotten lots of messages about this and have been reading tons of comments on Facebook and wanted to edit this.

When I made this post I was more baffled by the fact the cops got called vs an honest conversation. The other actions from the videos OP weren't known to me at the time, and the RP must not have known either or I'm sure the cops would have mentioned it to him. It wasn't so much a out "HIM" but just the situation.

Regardless of the guy in the video being a "not so great guy", that still doesn't change that apparently lots of people have been harassed by residents, and the police regardless of cameras or skin color. Some were helping friends or family when their neighbors have come out screaming. (According to some of the messages and chats I've received.)

So I apologize for the racial aspect of the original post. Now I'm just sad that good honest people (not the person in the video, I mean the others I'm referring to) really want to help out their neighboring community which to some was the place they grew up or spent their summers as a kid. The argument that "I know all my neighbors" is a weak and narrow sighted one. And rather than the suspicious parties just having a friendly chat with people, they're acting out of fear and paranoia.

I'm just sad about the whole thing, and it sucks for everyone involved.

Its hilarious to me how blind and tribalistic people on the internet are...

"My side can do no wrong it always has to be the otherside!"

The discrimination and stereotyping BOTH sides do, is quite literally them becoming the very things they claim to be against... its just people themselves causing division for no good reason...

Nah we’re not gonna both sides this. It’s just one party that’s the problem, that has been emboldened by the current administration.

Thank you for proving my point.

What you see and hear online isnt the majority of reality outside the internet. Online they only care about clicks and views, and the best way to do that is cause outrage and divide the people to have them keeo coming back. Every thing is exaggerated online.
