    If this guy would have been an F.B.I. agent, then he handled the situation just as unprofessional as the cops did. I would say even worse! Because he is supposedly higher educated and better trained.
    By the way, when a policeman ask me to ID myself I thank him for doing his job and being concerned.

    As soon as they saw his ID they realised they'd fucked up so he was obviously someone in authority. Also he talked about writing a report so maybe a cop. Either way same result.
    ...or maybe not the person they where looking for?

    Would you consider that to be a German trait?

    It's a normal 'trait'. Why wouldn't you show him your ID?

    'No way I was staying home': Trump's response leads more protesters to White House


    Protesters ignored Tuesday's 7 p.m. curfew and a large group took a knee a day after they were forcefully removed to clear a path for President Donald Trump.

    WASHINGTON — A massive crowd of protesters ignored the Washington curfew and gathered outside the White House on Tuesday, a day after U.S. Park Police, the Secret Service, the National Guard and other federal law enforcement agencies forcefully and dramatically cleared the area of demonstrators to allow President Donald Trump to visit a riot-damaged church across the street.


    The show of force didn't stop thousands of demonstrators from gathering to protest the death of George Floyd and police brutality Tuesday, with some telling NBC News that they were motivated to join the protests because of the government's response.


    "It ignited a fire in us," Alondra Pacheco, 20, said of the spectacle Monday, when law enforcement came "at peaceful people just so he could walk across the street."


    Pacheco had been out to the protests over the weekend, but another woman from Washington said she was joining the protests for the first time.


    "I've been giving what money I can to groups but after what he did — deploying the military against Americans — there was just no way I was staying home. He just really came for Americans," said the woman, who asked not to be identified because she was recently furloughed because of the coronavirus and didn't want to negatively affect her employment prospects.

    A large group across the street from the White House took a knee at 7 p.m. ET, when the curfew went into effect, and announced that they weren't going anywhere, chanting, "F--- your curfew." They also chanted "Vote him out" and "Who do you protect?"


    More protesters appeared to be out than on Monday. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and her husband were seen in the crowd around 6:30 p.m., the same time federal forces had started using flash-bang grenades, pepper balls and physical force to clear the streets Monday.

    Because unless your being arrested, it's none of their fucking business.

    "Papers please, may I see your papers." Say that in a German accent and you might get the point I was trying to make.

    Well what do you know... it seems even Republicans are getting a bit fucking tired of it... or scared of re-electing a fucking prick that could make things worse.

    Controversial US Congressman Steve King, who has been criticised for a string of remarks on race and immigration, lost his bid to secure a 10th term in office on Tuesday.

    The Republican has held his Iowa seat since 2002, but was beaten to the party's nomination in a primary vote by state senator Randy Feenstra.

    It comes amid mass protests in the US against racism and police brutality.


    They follow the death in police custody of unarmed black man George Floyd.


    Last year
    Mr King was stripped of his House committee seats after questioning why terms like "white supremacy" were offensive.


    The following month, when defending a ban on abortion, he
    suggested much of the human race might not exist without rape or incest, prompting renewed calls for him to resign.


    Mr King has also drawn ire for
    tweeting his support for the Dutch anti-Islam politician, Geert Wilders.


    "Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny," Mr King wrote on Twitter. "We can't restore our civilisation with somebody else's babies."


    He later defended his comments, telling broadcaster CNN that he "meant exactly what he said".


    The former lawmaker has also previously tweeted his support for a Toronto mayoral candidate with Neo-Nazi ties, and claimed in 2017 that diversity was not America’s strength.


    Despite multiple controversies, until now he has continued to hold Iowa’s fourth congressional district.


    He narrowly reclaimed his seat in 2018, with just three percentage points separating him from his Democratic challenger.

    Is your point racist?
    Most countries ask you at their borders and their policemen inside their country without a German accent.
    Have you ever left your country?
    Why do people have no problem showing their ID to a policemen when visiting another country?

    So you have just been robbed on a night out while getting into your car, you tell the cops it was two guys one was short and stocky and the other was tall and thin, the cops on patrol see two guys matching your description and ask them for id, they say "vee urr vnot int germany" so the cops say "ok"

    All four cops have been charged, and they changed the initial 3rd degree murder, to 2nd degree.

    Antifa? Boogaloo? Who are the extremists blamed for stirring up trouble at protests and what are their goals?

    Former Dallas FBI chief says groups likely using demonstrations to raise their profile

    It is, actually, their business. Not every country is like the US where the cops are known to profile and harass . . .

    Oh, I 'got the point'. You were making a bigoted remark that harks back to whatever WWII shows you used to watch on tv. You now use that stereotype to make a point about police checking your id.

    Cherry-picking from quotes, Pickel.

    In many countries you are required to show your id when asked, hardly a German or police-state thing.

    The only relevant part of his life to this thread or discussion was his last 8 minutes.

    So did the cop. Eighteen previous IA investigations.

    Ironically, they used to work security at the same bar. The bar owner said the cop was always afraid, and quick to pull out the pepper spray.
