Did not expose themselves and was hidden behind a car. That is not public urination then. It’s no more public than a truck stop bathroom. Cops gonna start busting people at rest stop bathrooms because they are not in their own home pissing?
Just brown people
Yep
Who gives a shit? I’ve had my kid pee on the side of the road with the passenger side door open to act as a screen, and never had a problem with the cops. This is incredibly stupid.
I can guarantee what happened is the cop saw an unsupervised black kid peeing in a parking lot and made up his mind that he was up to something bad. When the cop got more information, like the fact that he was waiting for his mom who was in a nearby building, and that there was no restroom available in that building, he dismissed all of it because accepting it would mean he was wrong about his initial assumption and Mr. Tiny-Dick Cop is NEVER wrong. In fact, the mere insinuation that he might be wrong is seen as an insult, especially when it involves one of those colored people. So clearly the kid was in the wrong, because the alternative is unacceptable.
And then, because prosecutors and judges also never want to admit a cop was wrong, they went along with it and put the kid through the system.
The kid was assumed guilty as soon as the cop saw him, and nothing he saw or heard after that could change his mind.
Imagine the number of people who could have just laughed, said “what a stupid case” and dismissed it, and none of them did. That’s systemic racism. It’s a machine that, once started, won’t stop.
