I'm thinking that maybe he wanted to get khat.
Kidding aside, I think the Somolis get a bad rap as a group simply because they are "new".
All eyes are upon them to watch for mistakes, mistakes some will surely make because they aren't familiar with the ways of the land. There will still be some bad apples in the end, but most will learn the ways in time, and by that time, there may be a "new" population to take the spotlight. Most Somolis know you can't ram a Police car so I'm guessing this one is just one bad apple in the bunch.

Well nowadaze, if you are pulled over the cops are trained to try and jump into your vehicle to stop you if you wait until they get up to you, then at that point in them trying to stop you, if you don't stop, you will get shot. I guess I don't disagree, but it is kind of wierd. But I am guessing this police cruiser simply parked in front of the man, and the dude was like what the hell.
(assumption, but from multiple police videos and articles I am led to believe this)
OMG you really don't have a clue about Police training and tactics...what utter B.S.

Comment, way to completely "mis-remember" that story. The landlord of an apartment called the police because a tenent (who happened to be Somali) had spit in his or her face (can't remember the gender of the landlord.)
The man was arrested for a low-level assault. So...um....he did get punished.
I guess I'd have a warped opinion about an entire race of people too if I only read and heard what I wanted to hear only to confirm my already pre-conceived prejudices against them =/

there was actually an article back in april where police responded to a complaint. in this apartment the police found a group of somali men in a back room, and when police asked them to keep noise down one of the men spit in the cops face, and another hit a cop in the side of the head. If you or I did that we would be on the ground from the taser. but in this case it was a "miscommunication" because go figure the somalis didnt speak or understand english. all im saying is that they get away with a lot more than we could.

Well, this guy was arrested, just like you or I would be if we rammed a cop car. So what was your point? When have any somalis ever gotten a lighter punishment than deserved? Do you have even one example or do you just keep "hearing" that?

Cloud girl,
Although this man obviously violated the law and should be prosecuted , your comments are a despicable overgeneralization about a whole group of people. The same things were said about the Irish and Italians, Polish, German's you name them. I believe we need to judge people individually based on their actions not by a group, race or religion. It's your kind of ignorance that will make it harder for the good and law abiding Somalis to adjust and get a fair shake at assimilation.

Police are the most complained about professionals in the world, however, they are the first called when there is a problem (unless you have a crazy uncle bob in the closet who only comes outdoors when there is a problem). I don't complain about them (expect when they target dumb things like left hand turns or seatbelt usage when it seems like someone was getting robbed at the same time...) with that being said, I still respect them enough- they have a hard job to do- babysitting the masses of ignorant folks who cant seem to pull their heads out of their bottoms to act right

I did not say they arent punished at all....i simply stated that it does not seem that they are punished the way you or i would be. They are favored because they are foreign and nobody wants to offend them.
But, according to "Comment12", they are never punished for doing this kind of stuff.
