Seeing as he is in Texas I wonder what would happen if a cop tried to pull him over (saying he is driving and the SS is in the back or he is walking down the street). Would SS just flat out shot the racist cop, or would the cop get arrest and end up in Guantanamo?

(I am thinking of this in the style or Undercover Boss, but with Obama and the local Texas police departments)

And that lady that died in her cell is still depressing as hell to think about. I got pulled over in Arkansas for having long hair when I was younger, I hate to imagine how they treated people that were not white. If it make you feel better.
(removed video)

That is Arkansas, and there is a series about the Klan there that will be airing on CNN really soon...so my home-state will soon be the laughing stock of the nation. I always loved Austin City Limits growing up as a kid, had some good music on it.

Deleted video as to not take away from the low of the music videos.

Why are you jumping my ass.

I said the some of the cops were bigoted and racist. Guess what, so is a big chunk of the citizens. I'm not.

I'm not from Texas, I'm just stuck here.

I thought this board could stand a respite from all the shouting. Sorry I bothered.

I am from Arkansas, and I was saying that we are getting worse in our state, than Texas it seems. CNN is running the story on Arkansas that sounds pretty depressing. But I was also saying always loved Austin City Limits.

I guess I wasn't wrong when I said we needed a respite. Me included. It's been harsh here lately.

I think I'll go to bed now.
