For whom the bell tolls. A fugitive from the law of averages. I guess he just looks guilty.

Florida police accused of racial profiling after stopping man 258 times, charging him with trespassing at work.

In the last four years Earl Sampson, 28, has been questioned by police 258 times, searched more than 100 times, jailed 56 times, and arrested for trespassing 62 times. The majority of these citations occurred at his place of work, a Miami Gardens convenience store where the owner says police are racially profiling.

You know, being stopped that many times by jumpy cops, I guess he should be grateful he hasn't been shot yet. Talk about being a fugitive from the law of averages.

Maybe if this young man gets enough out of it, he won't have to work at the Kwik-E-Mart anymore. There! Problem solved!

I think that with enough documentation from enough cameras, it should be a slam dunk. Sue the pants off those Out-Of-Control cops and the city gubmint officials they work for. Should really be interesting to watch.; November 24, 2013 at 3:05 PM

Then I looked again and realized that he just might be the very next winner of the "Florida Dumb City Multi-Millionaire Lottery". If those cops are so stupid as to allow themselves to get caught ON VIDEO violating this man's rights then they will have no choice but to make this man a MILLIONAIRE. I always find it amazing that when people get into a position of POWER that they lose their minds and make stupid mistakes that will in the end, cost them and their city millions of dollars.; November 25, 2013 at 2:23 AM
Anonymous said...: Its our tax dollars that they end up giving these people
Its OUR money these people are winning in these law suits

Until we hold the cops responsible for their actions the police state is and will grow to affect each and everyone of us

If you were a fuck up but your boss kept paying for your fuck ups , would you work on doing better? nope you'd continue to be a fuck up and that's exactly the attitude these punk cops have

How many cops does it take to change a light bulb?

None..they just beat up the room for being black

It goes both ways on the race issue too, if you really want to take it down that road. Were all going to get F'ed by this police state and its actions; November 25, 2013 at 8:15 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
