CJ28 Doesn't like COPS. Says "It's hard being young, black and rich"

^ that's a good point. Lol I never answered either

so if it's a nice neighborhood everybody is just having tea and crumpets but if it's the ghetto they are all smoking crack? get real

Frankly, yes.

Crime happens in lower income areas because the people don't make much money. If I'm making $150,000 a year there's a lot more to lose if I'm caught selling drugs. There's also less to gain; the person making $150,000 doesn't need drug money to make ends meet.

The people who turn to selling drugs are often lower-income and often uneducated.

There will always be exceptions, but if we're talking about the most accurate way to profile somebody, it's based on income levels, not race or gender.

Okay ill say that the neighbors have a right to think or feel however they want, and if all they told the cops as the TMZ artical indicates is that a bunch high end cars were enter and leavig CJ's property the cops should have said so what. How should that be worthy of being suspicous to the police station?

The best thing my dad ever tought me: If police come to your door and you didnt call them dont answear. CJ should have done the same that day.

The saying about police work is that 95% of the time it's mind numbing and monotonous while the other 5% of the time it's life threatening terror. That means that 95% of the time police officers have nothing to do but drive around and look for anything that resembles a crime in progress. So even when a tip as weak as the CJ28 tip comes in sometimes they'll follow it just to have something to do.

complete typical racist tip by some scared rich white people. eff police and there bullsh*t.I'll just say profiling happens to white teenagers in suburban areas also. Could've been some scared rich hispanic, black, asian, or any other race that called in the police.

Yeah, why are you guys profiling us whites as trigger happy police dialers :D I'm filing a report now to get this fixed.

if and tmz in the same sentence doesn't really sound realiable to me. all i'm saying is it just sounds like the cops were doing their job in this instance responding to a call recieved from a suspicious neighbor. is the neighbor right or wrong? there is your discussion, but as for the cops, sounds like they were just doing what they get paid to do

and as far as it being hard to be young, black and rich. i'd like to see cj spend a few days being young, white, broke, married, and starting a new bussiness. just get back to your mtv film crew and running for 2000 yards a year. i'd be willing to bet with a new cba comes all sorts of new limitations of what these guys put out through their twitter accounts

I think he should try being poor again and living in the ghetto because when I lived in Southeast D.C. the cops wouldn't come at all when someone called 911. That should solve his problem.

That said, Johnson lives in a nice area. So in this case he's right, this seems like profiling.

The question is, were people profiling him because he's black, or because they know he plays in the NFL?

Funny. I have co-workers all the time talking about how they have neighbors who will have people coming and going and only staying for 2 min. at a pop. What would that kinda activity make you believe is going on? I suggest calling the police.

I have co-workers who talk about never before seen cars coming down their road or culdisack. What do you tell them? don't worry about it. No I tell them if they see something suspicious call the police and if possible get a tag.

None of us were there and don't have any idea what exactly was going on other then to say the MTV crew was there and some (yes probably nosey neighbor) one called the cops in regards to suspicious activity.

So are the cops susposed to ignore the call and not check it out? Which calls are they susposed to ignore? What if you call about suspicous activity in your neighborhood? should they ignore it? especially if there are black males involved?

I know it looks like I'm calling you out Schneed10 but I'm not. Your rant was probably toward the neighbor, my rant is toward the people mad because the police were called out and were asked to do their job. The police found out he was doing nothing wrong and walked.

Better yet why couldn't he tweet something like "hey just had the 5-0 at my door because of nosey neighbors." Because there is no drama in that. It sounds better to say " the po po just banged on my door thinking we was selling drugs up in here."

It's all about how one looks at life and how they want to communicate.

you pretty much stated my point. you think poor people do drugs and rich people don't, gotcha.
