Grimy skateboard rapper Wiz Khalifa was tackled to the floor by U.S. Customs Officers when he refused to step down off his hoverboard at Los Angeles Airport this past weekend.
Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was riding the hoverboard through the terminal, which is against the rules because he might hurt someone.
So the officers politely asked Khalifa, 27, to stop riding the hoverboard, a sort of skateboard/scooter hybrid which doesn’t actually levitate off the ground.
In videos posted on Twitter.com, we get to see a snarky Khalifa test his celebrity status with the officers (it didn’t work).
“You can’t do nuffin anyway… What you gon’ do? Put me in jail?” he said as he towered over the officers.
Within seconds, Wiz was thrown face down on the floor and cuffed by LA’s finest who shouted “STOP RESISTING!”
Normally those are the last 2 words cops tell an unarmed black man before they blow his brains all over the floor. But there were too many witnesses — and, well, black lives do matter.
Moral of the story is: when you are surrounded by 4 or 5 cantankerous police officers who are barking orders at you, never say “What you gon’ do? Put me in jail?”
All because I didn't want to ditch the technogy everyone will be using in the next 6 months. Do what you want kids. pic.twitter.com/7F0KIQgFrA

Well …… Follow the rules sir at the airport
“You can’t do nuffin anyway… What you gon’ do? Put me in jail?” he said as he towered over the officers.
^^^^
Tried it !!!!
Don’t tase me bro.
This was unnecessary on both sides…
“What you gon’ do? Put me in jail?”
___
Technically they could have did just that…. in 2015 do folks not know how serious security be at the airport…. not to mention TSA has been under fire for the last few years …. so yeah bruh miss me … And Isis running a muck ! Bye
See I was worried about this happening. You have actual police brutality going on out there and young black people in our community dying left and right and THEN you have stupid shyt like this that just devalues the black lives matter movement. Get yo dumb beanstalk ass off that stupid scooter smh
Beenstalk
……………….
Ya’ll talked about Married 2 Medicine?
SERIOUSLY Just get off the F$&?ing skateboard already !!!!
Nah. I’on think so.
Idiot …. sits and waits for the people to get outraged by this praying mantis when his dumbazz chose to break the rules … cause he think he can …. Chile
So about Darren sleeping with the gay dude. Ya’ll believe it or nah?
I’ll just say that if it ends up being true, I wouldn’t be surprised. I think this situation is manufactured for Lisa’s storyline of her husband keeping her in the dark on a lot of things.
okay, I understand he’s a celeb but that don’t put you above the law now.
That’s ignant…
But when was this video shot? Looks like a VHS from my cousins wedding in 1992.
Exactly. Talking bout his generation like hoverboards. Sooooooo who give two ?Fcks about your disrespectful unfocused generation. You at the airport they all ready looking for terrorist!!! Nobody want to look at your goofy ass on a fckin skateboard drawing attention to your lonely self.
Yes. Something is fishy with their relationship. Quad’s too. I think Quad likes the ladies….
I agree. People were saying the she was a snoozefest so they are doing the most to keep her relevant
Chile when you hear “STOP RESISTING!” Some shyt is about to go down just PAUSE if you want to live
Well, that’s what Lisa-Nicole insinuated and Quad went off. Lisa-Nicole just needs to be real about who she married and discuss things with her husband before making assumptions and ending up with egg on her face.
Maybe this was his attempt to be hard. He looked just like a hardcore thug to me. Think about all the respect he’d get in jail for standing up to the TSA *SARCASM*
Lisa Nicole already said that Quad and Mariah were in a lesbun relationship.
And she is still a snoozefest. Even with the faux cheating and faux fights with Quad.
Her husband is a whore. That’s facts….
Does he have some “music” coming out or something? I wondered if this was a publicity stunt because to think someone could be this dumb as to temp the police considering the current atmosphere.
True. I think she really believed he had changed his ways. It’s pretty disgusting how she always tries to blame folks for “setting her up” and attacking her family. Girl bye. You know he’s a whore. You chose to stay. Deal.
The police was overreacting. He was clearly not resisting. They do that so if some shut pops off they can manipulate the situation. With that being said Wiz is a clown for this. They could have legally shot his ass.
Fuggin weirdo
^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!!!
He pulled a Meek….he thought we would fight the cause um NO bish…we got other things to worry about beside your PRIVILEGED azz upset you couldn’t right your toy through the airport.
When they was in that strip club. That was hilarious.
I don’t understand why her mind would go straight to someone setting her up rather than her husband wanting to look at some T&A.
What grown person in their right mind, rides a scooter/skateboard through an airport. Really?
in their right mind
======
There’s the disqualifier.
I kinda think it is real…as MUCH as she likes to go hard for Darren and voice about her marriage..now she quiet as a mouse…either way I don’t care nor surprised but she open the worms..Darren tried to tell her to mind her business.
Funkydimediva had the scoop..basically said, Quad Had some of her gay friends “spill the tea” that was apparently lies, made up to get back at Lisa Nicole.
Ignorance has no age …. sad to say
Privileged.
The dude boyfriend was fired by Lisa and hired as an assistant by Quad..
So has Funky Dineva decided if he wants to be a guy or a girl? His perpetual 5 o’clock shadow confuses me.
Lisa Nicole should sue her ass. That’s defamation of character. Quad needs a life. Go have a baby by your husband or something. I hate a petty messy bish.
And on next week Mariah calls her out for that trash.
I feel like that was manufactured. Just the way dude approached her and her fake shock. Bad acting on all parts. When EVER have strangers been mic’ed up? You know Bravo knows who is at these events.
Thats the thing…she hasn’t said a WORD nor filed…you would think she would say SOMETHING.
Amber must have been blinded by dollar signs to be able to wake up to that ugliness.
How he did not know any better than is, is beyond me. Just foolish.
I guess sometimes you are as dumb as you look.
I wonder where is momma at, and what she thinks?
She sure did have a lot to say about Amber. Ma’am get your son,.
Chile…..that’s so silly. And messy….I’m very cautious with women who hang with a bunch of gays. One or two cool. But the whole squad? That’s says something about the kind of woman they are. Last year she was using Rico Chapelle to fight her battles.
oh that ish was all the way fake but idk if the allegation was. Idk like when you want to ask you momma something but you have your friend or sister bring it up first…lol
Exactly why I said it. All that to say about someone else, and YOUR DAMN SON, out here with no act right. Hummm
She wouldn’t be the first. LOL #yonce’ #butIlovejayandimightbealonebutithinkhescutewithorwithoutmoney
Are we supposed to be outraged for his dumbass? He should’ve just got of f the damn board in the first place and all of this would’ve been avoided.
The same ones that ride those Segways through it. #cops
in her defense…he was a little tamed back then…lol…no? ok
I can understand Jay. He’s charismatic. Wiz though. He looks like a walking STD.
In his mind, yes, we should be mad. In real life, hell no. He is a clown for all of this.
You have a point.
Hi.
I’m not buying it. That’s revenge #1 put Gay on them when you want to hurt them.. She couldn’t come with a woman cause hell they admitted he love hoes.. She tried it with the illegitimate child yet failed to say it was when dude was in college and it wasn’t his.
and Reco fell for anything to get his long neck azz more screen time even if it meant going against a childhood friend.
I mean it IS Atlanta after all. It absolutely could be true. But if its not, I’d have some goons waiting Quad’s ass….you can come for me, but bish leave my husband out of it. I don’t play that shyt.
I tell you one thing…If I was the person behind I would have been pissed….you WONT make me late with your foolish..” Um Officer, can I slide through?” #Myflightmatters
Running round here gluing lacefronts to his pterodactyl cranium.
DEAD!
Contrary to popular belief, not ALL guys in Atlanta are gay or DL. Certainly not at any higher rate than any other metropolitan area
I hollered when I saw that on FB. Lol
ROTFL!!!!he HAD to have been good and high on sumthin… and not on Mary Jane
you have a point but its just funny she hasn’t putted out the “sue” speech bc she never has a problem voicing what she could do to you.
It’s in the Bravo contract that they can’t sue each other.
So Bae back with Serena
I have no problems with this take down, none whatsoever…
Heyull no we should be outraged that the price of eggs is going up because breakfast and baking cakes matter.
Fugg this.
You sure? That’s bad business…smh want to be on the show so bad…why would you agree to that.
Me when I saw it
AMEN
Jay has more swagger in his pinky finger than most dudes got through their entire body. I’d date Shawn in a heartbeat. Plus he has a big ego…?
yeah cause a few of the BH and OC ones threatened to sue each other and Danielle tried to on NJ But it never really gets further than a cease and desist. That was one of the issues with Kandi trying to sue Kim. They aren’t supposed to call the cops or sue.
WTF type stuff is that?!
I was just kidding. Kinda sorta. Lol
So Kelly Rowland is playing LUcious’s mother on Empire..interesting
Protecting their brand. They know what they encourage those people to do and say for ratings.
They rarely are but when you hear that shyt things are about to go left. Thats the excuse they use to open fire and/or monkey stomp you
One of the few times we have videographic evidence of something and it’s some ole ignorant bullshyt…
First off Kandi should of had a contract in the other producers name or something to collect her funds. So the other producer could of sued Kim. All the business Kandi does, and she did not have a contract with Kim? Ok. But, did Kim end up having to pay her?
huh !?!?!
LMAO !
So what are they trying to say Kelly has an old face? She looks like somebody’s old mama?
He sure did. ? I guess the popo said fuk being a celeb…
Jay does have swag…but you have to look at him…all the time…even first thing in the morning….no thanks.
Exactly lol
They were filming right by house this entire summer. Right in Washington Park. Its a army reserve base or some kind of training base there. They were filming prison scenes inside from what I heard.
Now that’s something to be outraged about ?
Like a flashback of his life.
From what they said, Kim paid her in full based on what she said they agreed. She said Kandi didn’t think the song was going to get as much hits as it did and wanted to sue for production or some crap.. I got lost when Kandi agreed she got some $ but it wasn’t what she said they agreed to.. If her paper work was as tight as she is in shady Nene this wouldn’t have ever been an issue.
Like a flashback of his life, when he was young.
oh ok I hope they dont try to do too much this season. It’ll take away from the storyline
I hope he finds out that Cookie did not set him up to be arrested.
Hunni lets talk about that damn Alura.. I would have beat the sugar honey ice tea out that little girl. you see that @disqus_ViIgW0yMao:disqus @Just_Keya:disqus ??
In a Flashback? Cause he’s like 53…
That’s still completely dumb on their part ( wives)..you can say i’m a child molesting and I can’t do shyt but barely beat your azzz….nah run me my money HO…but wait didnt Porshe get arrested for Kenya?
My bad…just seeing this.
Right!!
I hope she does. That’s reckless to put stuff like that our there for the masses. Defamation of character.
Yep. That was the exception and they were pissed at Kenya for pushing the issue. They wanted to sweep it under the rug.
I know I was being petty.
Yeah…when another blog that’s no longer in business would link to his videos, I had to stay away for a couple of days. But he’s grown on me in the past year…a little.
SO wait. They can’t sue each other but they can press charges? SO who pressed the charges? Kenya or Bravo?
DUMB
She’s toned down since last season. Her mouth was too fly last season.
I dont think he cares…you know how he is…he thinks he is G-D…he HAS to be vengeful
So wait, he is really gay? I thought he was just being dumb with the wigs and stuff! Oh good greif.
That lil girl is outta control. If her mother can’t control her then I think her deddy need to get with that azz.
Heck yeah. My grocery bill is going up. Let’s be mad about that.
Price of gas is going down… let’s celebrate that.
True.
whew!
Cause I was gonna say
….
Nope is he.
Think about it though… and somebody was there with their big VHS video recorder at that. It’s not even cellphone video.
I sincerely have no eye-deer, Keya. I thought he was just dressing up like a woman as part of his character.
If he isn’t gay, I wouldn’t be able to entertain a guy who dressed up like a woman.
You must didn’t see it last night when she was at Lisa Nicole shop. I would have knocked her azz out talking like that.
Drake smashing the shyt outta Serena….they was all over each other at some restaurant.
Yeah her mama think that shid cute. Daddy needs to save his daughter before it gets too late.
Prime reason why I’m strict when it comes to my nugget…that mouf will get that butt popped..period..who won’t be 12 talking to me crazy…respect me as your mother and fear me for what I can do to you.
Please cite where Funky said this. I read every article, and he clearly said that he didn’t know for sure. But if he were a betting man that his money would be on the producers.
Yep, I saw it. She was fresh at the mouth to her mother last season. If I spoke to Mama Butter that way at 28 and 354 days old, I would GNAT live to tell about it or apologize for it.
Exactly. That’s the issue when people try to be friends with their kids. I don’t negotiate with terrorist.
Girl no. I have seen clips of her. That’s the doctors daughter right? Her mouth is way too much.
If you try to steal, it would be just your luck that three sprites got you stretched out in your vehicle like they did Ezell downstairs ???.
I’m confused on how the mom thinks it’s cute?! Just disrespectful.
They aren’t supposed to press charges. Kenya pressed them. Bravo tried to get her to not go fwd. Kinda like how Benzino got kicked off for pressing charges. They are strongly encouraged to not do that. He called Mona out on it. Different networks same philosophy.
Yes the dentist Heavenly… That lil girl is going on 39.
it a new app on iPhone called camcorder…its pretty dope actually
He a light skinned. He can’t handle ‘Rena. She’s way too much woman for him.
Heck yeah azz out on Yahoo News
HEllo? Lil one said..”You don’t want to be my friend” “Nope! and dont ever think that is what I’m here to do”….
smh. See…the momma just looks like she has no control over her kids. and mine KNOW not to part his lips to talk crazy to me like that. She would of been mad her lip was fat. shoot.
you aint see me crying down there !
Hello! I’m your mama… Get that all the way together.
She’s expressing herself because she’s so bright.
this is his second or third time at that.
He aight. had her after Common
she didn’t mean to rub it in baby…she sorry
See, I keep saying they better improvee the writing and come with storyline or plots that make sense. Lee Daniels thinking this steady stream of celebs will keep folks attn, but I’m thinking it will do the opposite.
Sophomore jinx. Power turned up in their season 2. Empire, you’re up next. I like both shows, but if aired the same time, same night, I’d tune into Power.
www
her body! lawd! I can’t compete!
he saw that picture and went straight to speed dial/
and failed! LOLOL
I don’t know Drake’s ego is pretty big! I think he can handle her. He probably showering with compliments and singing songs to her. Making her feel like a woman. I’m here for Drena or Serake….
Ninja….all the way BYE…I’ll express myself when I natch those lips off.
It was sarcasm. Sorry if that didn’t come across.
I think he will but I wanted Cookie to stay with Derek Luke. I hope they keep that story line going
LOL did you say singing? So funny.
please don’t give them a combo name.
Please , please ….
Dis too much!
Not too many woman can. She is one of the baddest. Don’t feel bad sis.. ?
Now this is who I want.
as much as i adore Wiz this was jus ignorant & uncalled 4! Y would it b so hard 2believe u cnt ride that thing thru the airport?
le sigh….
??????
Again!?!? Last time they were dating he got into it with Common. Followed by Common ethering his azz with So Sweet lol #nomeekmill lmao
o i thought u was serious ? ive seen alot of ppl genuinely asking abt it. my bad
If the momma said that, she is not too bright.
So listen Terrence Howard won big in court. Judge told ex wife to suck it. Ciara and Russell possibly filed for a marriage license.
He was at several of her last matches. He been got that old thing back.
Shields your eyes so you don’t hurt no more.
Yea I hope it doesn’t become a variety show…different acts…he has the protential to bring in some real un-named talented actors that are P.O.C…he looks like he is worried about the fame.
You can compete, he just hasn’t met you yet.
ummm
whet!?
Stay Schemin was the ether.
But I love Common, he wasn’t ready. Ye had to call Bae and have him stop
Yep. They got pictures of each other tonguing. Like with passion. Drake on the winning team this time.
I like Bojangles… that’s all I got.
yea but he goes every year so that not a gauge…she plays with that boy..and he likes it
I think its gonna fizzle out. I’d choose Power too. The storyline is better and its not all over the place. Empire can be a schizophrenic at times.
Yeah, no it’s 2015.
LQTM
YES to the second one…..
I can’t! Ciara and Russell did what ?!?!?!
I thought women got away from waiting until marriage to have sex. What do you do, seriously, if his jank too small for you and ur gap? What if the sex is horrible after a few times? A woman wants her hair pulled, she wants to be choked and spanked, and she def wants u to know positions to put her in to titillate her g spot. So I’ve heard.
He probably can’t let go of the strippers long enough to to keep her.
can you blame him. I’m sure a lot of men would sign up to be her play toy. That’s not a bad job
you the real mvp!!
Stay Schemin…with French Montana slow azz on the hook?!?! I luv u Waste but um……..
At that point, you have to coach him. If he’s too small then you have to see make sure that mouth is on point.
While first ALL OF THIS^^^^….secondly..I’m NOT doing this but I proud that they are trying.
You right cause in a interview a few months ago she called him her Brother… ubishu
I’m glad, about Ciara and Russell. Good for her. *whispers to Kylie* THIS is how you make a come up. Learn from this.
Drake whole verse about Common.
Thank you. ?
Say what now!?!?!
Once I reached adulthood, Mama Butter told me that you have to try your shoes on before you buy them and you never really know a person until you live with him or her. She’s never been married, but she may be on to something…
Glad you understood me. ?
Future is about to lose his entire mind.
I agree with Momma Butter, but maybe this will work for her. I sure hope it does.
I luv you too.,
Let me be in my feelings !
oh he did a verse on someone elses song about Common thats #So Sweet but did two songs for Meek lol
Bet money he is going to go on a Bitter Baby Daddy tour and say all types of crazy shyt about her. smdh. Crumb.
Play brothers huh….just like mason brothers I used to have. LIES. They be smashing them sisters. Serena you way too grown to be calling him ya brother. I believed Ye’ may be Rhianna’s brother. But Jay aimt her brother. Its levels to this.
BUT I want Drake to send her to whomever does his eyebrows bc wolf.
lmao Im tripping she went back after he dissed her for Rhi last year. Hell he left her backstage when Rhi showed up
New post
lololol
I’ve never seen the word crumb used like that. I like it. LOL!!!
…………
Nah. He not going to do that.
He gonna see if he can get his support reduced since her husband is loaded…lolol
What support? I bet money he paying her dust and that’s why she dont’ give a damn what he thinks.
Him, Clifford, Ludicrous, and Tyga…..the bish ass ninja tour
lmao. right. I mean, you get to a test drive the finest of cars before committing to buying it.
HA. She will cheat in 3, 2 , 1 weeks. #bedbuddies
We see white people heavily armed in standoffs against the police and they are not tased, more or less shot. Yet, Wiz is “imposing” because he is a tall Black man?!. He can’t control his height. His presence is anything but imposing. I’m sure he is mellow as one can be, considering the fact that he is usually high. Someone was trying to play the hero, hoping for publicity, and decided it would be cool to mandhandle him. Not cool whatsoever. I hope he sues them and wins a settlement, because they’d be idiots to allow that case to make it to trial. The court of public opinion wouldn’t allow them a fair chance at winning.
Follow the rules…his frail tail don’t need to be tackled.
whet?
What the hell does Wiz Size have to do with following the rules ….. he lucky he is not sitting in federal custody … I will not make excuses for ignorance
Lmao I thought he was gonna break some bones with his lanky self but what had me big eyed was the “stop resisting ” the officer kept repeating I was looking at the vid like bitch where ? ?
What does it say about the woman, pray tell?
Laughed my azz off when I saw this on the news this morning – I mean he weighs all of 3 pounds all they had to do was whistle and he would have fell over….. Amber is somewhere cracking the heck up….
he was asked to get off the board he would not – the tackle is justified – why black people always looking for a pass for their bullchit…. strups teef real rashole loud and continues reading comments….
We’re all ignorant in some form or fashion. You must not have ever been pulled over or approached by police (or someone in a similar capacity) in a negative fashion over a minor infraction, so maybe you can’t relate. I mentioned his size because someone commented about him being tall below. That’s all.
bath salts perhaps… fool thought he was the silver surfer….
Because no one else is ever seeking a pass for their bullchit… It is always a problem when a Black person does something. It is never a reflection of THEM as an individual, but the entire Black race. Divide and conquer is so real.
Amber blinded??? her punany has many miles she should be lucky any man still want to crawl around inside that sperm infested hot box
Well sorry you feel that you’re ignorant …..l do not claim those words … further more when someone in authority tells you to stop … follow directions etc … do it …. I will never support someone who can not follow simple rules…. and then get outraged by it chile bye!!!! Have I been pulled over and approached by a cop ugh … yes …. simply because I violated some rule at the time…. I accepted responsibility as well …. so your comment is pointless love … nice try though
huh you lost me why exactly should we seek passes for people who want to do bullchit stupid stuff…. Wiz getting tackled is not a reflection of me or other blacks that’s a reflection on his dumb azz – why exactly should I support his phuckery cause he black?
I wasn’t aware that I was “trying” anything, other than posting a reply. Ignorance = a lack of knowledge. Wiz said he wasn’t aware that him being on a hoverboard would be problematic, so that’s probably why he didn’t expect to be tackled off of it.
You don’t have to support a thing. I just wonder why race is brought into situations when a Black person does something that is deemed inappropriate, but when a white person commits the most heinous of transgressions, their race is never made a factor in their poor decisions.
Again, let me reiterate this to you …… I will not excuse ignorance …. so I’m suppose to sympathize for a grown man that doesn’t know the rules when all this knowledge is out here ??????…. and you continue to make excuses for that non-sense ….. CHILE BYE !
White is NEVER used they never point out the suspect was white – when you don’t hear a racial description you know its a white man… that’s mainstream media that what they do…
It’s a problem because that fool is the topic of discussion …. furthermore how in the hell did his breaking the law turn into the black man’s struggle … I am all for helping people (when) they are within their rights …. not when a person is breaking the law ….
It isn’t the BM’s struggle. Folks are on here commenting about this man’s race like his actions are reflective of the collective. I must not know the law as well as I thought I did, because I don’t know of any laws that restrict a person from using a hoverboard. He may have broken a rule he was unaware of, but not the law, so IMO, the TSA was unjustified in tackling him.
If I employ your logic to other situations where injustices were committed against Black folks, then it’s safe to say that Sandra Bland would be alive had she followed the police officer’s orders to extinguish her cigarette. Had she done that, she never would’ve been arrested, jailed and subsequently killed, because we know she didn’t commit suicide. Have a great day.
It just shows celebrity doesn’t matter when you are doing wrong. He should have got off the skateboard or whatever it was. You can’t do nuffin? Guess he didn’t get the memo that airport police are police. Bet he won’t do it again!
I’m aware. And the mainstream media is highly effective in painting Black folks to be deviant, so that anytime we err in judgment, we are publicly ridiculed, shamed, beaten, falsely arrested, maliciously prosecuted and even murdered for it. I didn’t reply to you or Jenie with intent to engage anyone in an argument. It was strictly a difference of perspective – a “what if,” if you will. Folks act like Wiz was on that hoverboard knocking old ladies over and stealing their purses. It isn’t that deep that he should’ve been tackled. They could’ve just told him he couldn’t board his flight until he got off of his hoverboard. He probably wasn’t thinking rationally, all things considered. I still don’t see that as justification for being jumped on. Just my 2 cents.
its not arguing its debating and its hella fun
I don’t take this stuff to heart even when I get feisty… its just folks chatting about chit…
Well maybe you commented (replied) under the wrong commenter then ….. Cause no where do I recall discussing the praying mantis’s race. Also I’m done discussing this worthless topic with you…. hun Take Care
Those are Security and trained insured personnel. Not just random citizens zigging through children and elderly people.
KMSL!!!! Seriously they kill me !!! How u gone do dumb sh#& and then wanna be the first to yell THEY HARASSING ME!! GTFOH with that bull!!
Exactly !
Same. ^5. I refuse to take someone else’s issues personally that do not directly affect me. Nice chatting with you, cool breeze! ?
On Topic: I’m sure the Dindu tribe will love this…
S/N: I wanna know who reached WAY back into 1985 recording technology to film this encounter?
He is dumb as hell! You going to jail over a damn hoverboard! Man somebody go slap this mofo please.
ROFL!
His walking bag o’ bones azz. A strong gust of wind can keel him right over.
Why does this look like it was recorded in 1995?
F*ck TSA theiving ass police state b*tches
EXACTLY!! I could do Jay with my eyes open, but Wiz, not even with a 100 ft pole.
Who are also people just like you and I.
Okay
Okay Fendi humor me where is his accountability..riding this ISH through the airport in the first place is okay?????
I’m still trying to figure out what a tattooed cricket is doing on a hoverboard.
Is it unlawful to ride a hoverboard thru an airport? I can drive to LAX from where I live. I have never been apprised of a law or rule that states what Wiz was doing was hindering anyone. I get a sneaking suspicion that TSA agents will soon be using hoverboards to patrol airports. The irony of this story. Lol
If we were all tackled, handcuffed, beaten or worse for using poor judgment, we’d all be dead or pretty badly injured. IJS.
What an idiot. SMH
I’m sure he’s going to claim racism but the reality is, when a cop tells you to do something, DO IT. its just that simple. Why would anyone even attempt to play the tough guy game when they KNOW what these cops are doing to us! Just stupid! #HisFault
What if he crashes into a kid while skateboarding around the airport?Just thought about what I said. Why the hell is grown man… a father skateboarding around an airport? SMH.
Probably for expeditious transport. There are a lot of adults who buy and use these boards. They’re $750 and up, so they’re priced for adults. Maybe because I’m a perpetual kid I don’t have a problem with them, but I think they’re dope. Folks bump in to me all the time on foot, because they are either rude or aren’t paying attention. Not sure why people are so vexed by something that’s supposed to be fun and innovative, but God bless. Back to business.
We need to stop fighting over this fool. You can’t ride a skateboard, bike, hoverboard, or boogie board in a shopping mall, so he thought he could do it in an airport? An airport that’s probably on Orange alert after some fool tried and failed to shoot up a train half-way around the world?
Come on. Let’s pick our battles. This isn’t one of them. Leave this pothead and his foolishness alone.
Who is fighting over him?!. I replied to 2 people re: this post and I’ve been met with all forms of opposition. I didn’t make this into a battle. I don’t see where anyone was justified in tackling this man. He has been referred to as a cricket and a myriad of other derogatory names, like he isn’t a human being. I didn’t see this much hatred for the little POS who killed those brothas and sistas in church. I’ve had a very blessed, productive day and I will continue doing so. Be well.
Take that race shyt to another commenter! No where have I discussed a thing about race… Check that shyt! Reading is fundamental….I discussed specifically ignorance
You have a problem, and I hope it is cured. No one implicated you in a thing, yet you’re continuing to go off re: what is supposed to be a trivial topic. I didn’t know there are forum rules as to who we can reply to and what our responses can encompass in a given reply. There are other people besides you here who are also spewing negativity towards this man over a hoverboard. That’s your right. But ask yourself if you think he would’ve been thrown to the ground if he was Justin Bieber?!. Others brought race into play. Black folks are the only ones whose individual actions are treated as a negative reflection against the entire Black race. He should and could have gotten off of that hoverboard, but he didn’t. That doesn’t give anyone cause to do bodily harm to him. There are other ways to remedy that situation. I’m here posting my perspective on situations, as you are. Nowhere did I attempt to belittle, degrade or dismiss you. If I thought you were incapable of engaging in a civilized exchange, please know I never would’ve replied to anything you posted. Now that I know otherwise, I will not reply to you any further on this or any other post. Goodnight.
You first chick.. I will never excuse anyone that breaks the law… Regardless of race! Because I gave you the facts … I have a problem… Tuh! Take care! Hope you jump off that ignorant bus one day…. Oh yeah… Just so you know since you fighting a cause and all….. We are under a high level terrorists threat right now … You do know that right ????…. Nah but you busy checking for this ignorant lame…. Here’s a thought… Take yo simpleton azz down there to TSA website and (read) about the rules…. And before you go there… I work for Feds so miss me ?
Did you say Grimy??? Lol
Sue for what?
He was ignorant only until the proper information was given to him. At that time, wisdom (proper application of knowledge) should have kicked in. Then he would have stepped off the board, picked it up and gone about his business as a smart black man. He chose to do the opposite and be a belligerent, stereotypical person of color/diva and now looks like a complete idiot. – and then the (not so good) role model Tweets something to put all of the young people in danger when dealing with authorities: “…Do what you want kids.” – REALLY?!
“when you know better, do better” – very simple
This is not about black or white, etc. It’s about “follow the rules or deal with the consequences”. In this situation, had he done so, they would have probably said “have a good day” and been on their way.
He chose to show out and now encourages others to do so. It doesn’t matter what anyone else tries to do. He was informed of an airport policy and refused to comply.
That particular black person MADE IT A PROBLEM by his foolish actions> I just flew to the other coast a week ago and had no issue. When I was unsure of something and made aware, I adjusted. NO ONE TACKLED THIS BLACK MAN because I choose NOT to act/remain ignorant and then cry racism
…or they use words that some don’t realize mean white like “caucasian”
More blacks bring race in than others in most cases. Unless they are describing a suspect at large, generally race is not addressed – until an ignorant person tries to deflect from the issue at hand by adding it
I know skateboards are not allowed to be ridden. They are a danger to others even if you are a professional rider. TBH, the “roll around” type of motorized wheelchairs can be dangerous when the rider is lacking ability or awareness. If he almost bumped or knocked over someone’s grandmother you would not be upset. Follow the rules, when informed or made aware of them
Hey got REAL black after they shoved his face on the ground. These new blacks need to remember how people perceive them, maybe then they’ll take a stance against things that matter and affect ALL of us
LOL I don’t know why he just wouldn’t listen
