Congresswoman Maxine Waters jumps out of her car to intervene as black man stopped by police
2020-07-20
[Independent] California congresswoman Maxine Waters went to assist a black man who was pulled over by police in Los Angeles this weekend.

In a video shared online, Ms Waters parked her SUV and said she intervened to see what Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers were doing when they pulled a black man over.

The black Democrat told the person videoing that "they stopped a brother so I stopped to see what they [the LAPD] were doing".

She added that police had threatened her with a ticket, and said: "They say I’m in the wrong place"

"They’re going to give me a ticket, but that’s okay, as long as I watch them," added the congresswoman.

She was then seen walking back towards the police, as another person behind the camera says "you gotta do what you gotta do, make sure".

Ms Walters responds with "I will", as the video ends.

Thousands have since watched the 15-second clip on Twitter, where it was shared on Sunday.

It comes almost two months after nationwide demonstrations against police brutality and systemic racism sparked by the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis police custody on Memorial Day.

The Independent has contacted Los Angeles’s police department for comment.

#10  I feel bad that my first instinct was that she probably knew the driver, the cameraperson and that a speed trap was in that area and the whole thing was arranged.

#4  /\ ....no black should *ever* be stopped, detained, or questioned for *any* reason.

What you are describing is the entitlement class, automotive motoring utopia of Atlanta. Maxine would have to take up another hobby if she were monitoring traffic stops here.

#3  Not surprising. In her eyes no black should *ever* be stopped, detained, or questioned for *any* reason. They are our betters and we need to know our place!u

It's a routine traffic stop Congresswoman, but you wouldn't understand.
