You’re right, THIS guy wouldn’t have been robbed. They’d have gotten a BS traffic ticket and robbed the next person to come along, after the police had driven away happy with themselves over writing one more traffic ticket and generating a million more ArlNow complaints about how all the police do are enforce BS traffic laws.

Actually, people go to jail for driving on revoked licenses pretty often in northern virginia. Usually they only get 3-5 days, but they generally DO get some time, especially if it’s a second (or worse) offense.

Well, they are destroying all the bridges over Rt. 50, so a wall between north and south Arl isn’t that far off

Actually he’s not an illegal – I used to live across the street from him. I know his family well. He was a great kid when he was younger but got involved in gangs. He’s a state wrestling champ – so much talent wasted.

I would. if I was the guy who got punched in the faced and had to have a gun flashed at me. Some guy got assaulted because the cops didn’t act when a petty crime was being committed.

The cops may have been suspicious because of the suspicious names.
The second perp apparently has some gender-confusion issues: he has a boy’s name (Christopher) but also a girl’s name (Louise). At least the cops figured out that, as the old saying goes, it’s not the Singer, it’s the Song(er).
And the third one is called “Elder,” even though he is the youngest of the three. But they didn’t have to Mirandize him — he already is a Miranda.

I don’t see anyone on this thread saying they were “profiled,” or that the police treated the suspects unfairly in any way. John is arguing against a straw man – or a person of straw, if you prefer.

Right. Because it’d be MUCH better for these guys to get a $50 traffic ticket so that they can go and rob somebody else, maybe even on the same night right after getting a ticket. That’s WAY better. As long as this particular guy didn’t get robbed.
