(Video) “Stop And Frisk” On Another Level In Philadelphia!
Most police officers have nothing to do with themselves! I can’t! After Philadelphia police pull the, ‘stop and frisk’ method on a couple young dudes simply walking down the block, they do the bad cop/bad cop routine. Calling the dudes, “a**holes” and telling one of them that they “weaken the country!” Just so happens that one of the guys were recording the incident, and one of the officers was pretty upset about that so, he – like his friend – was slammed against a police cruiser. These guys really took it to another level when they tried to pin on them, “crossing the street while on a red light” scenario. Be real! Pissed at the radio guy and everything. Hit the jump and have a listen.
