CableZL 11/27/21 11:32:09 AM #1:	https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-cops-arrest-man-for-stealing-his-own-car-lawsuit-13335518 On June 1, 2018, Samuel Scott Jr.'s 2006 black Jeep Compass was stolen from outside his aunt's house in Buena Vista. It's hard to imagine how the 44-year-old's day could get any worse. But roughly half an hour after making a 911 call, Scott was taken away in handcuffs by the Miami Police Department (MPD) officers he had called to report the theft and help get his car back. Why? Officers believed Scott was the perpetrator of the crime, not the victim. "Im telling you, you guys have the wrong guy," Scott a Black man wearing a dark-colored shirt over a white undershirt at the time can be seen telling an officer in body-worn camera footage obtained by New Times. "The description of the guy who took off in your car is just like yours," the officer responds. "But thats half of Miami," Scott says. A few minutes later, Scott laughs to himself: "I mean, why would I call the police?" Scott was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, false reporting of a crime, failure to carry a concealed-weapon license, and possession of marijuana charges that were eventually dropped by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office. In his mugshot, Scott flashed a toothy grin. I would be so pissed off if this happened to me. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:960394923] in Man called...

Would depend on the who the white guy is and and whether or not he fit the description of the guy seen driving the car. Both the owner and the suspect were bald heavy set black guys wearing white tank tops and the officer who responded to the call said he was sweating as if he'd been running. The cops were wrong, but "they arrested him just because he was black" is kind of a dumb take. --- "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time" -Detective Rust Cohle <cite>Solid Snake07 posted [p:960397158] in Man called...

Hexenherz 11/28/21 1:46:39 PM #18:	Cops are pigs. I was with a coworker at the movie theater once and we were kidnapped at gunpoint and the two guys took money out of my bank account via ATM then dropped us off on some side road. Used a phone at the local Safeway to call the cops, they arrived, were taking our statements, then they got a call that they "found a suspect". It was some random Black man walking home with a couple bags of groceries, looked nothing like the guys that got us.
