A man intending to join the militia members occupying the Oregon nature preserve has been arrested. The man was arrested for DUI, but as he was being handcuffed he threatened to kill all of the police officers present. Cenk Uygur host of The Young Turks breaks it down.
Do you think he would’ve been treated so well by the police if he was black or Muslim? Let us know in the comments below.

“An Army veteran who was arrested for a DUI while he was heading to join the militia occupying federal land in Oregon was caught on camera threatening to kill cops.
Joseph Arthur Stetson, 54, was driving to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which has been controlled by armed men led by the Bundy family since the beginning of the year, on Monday when he was pulled over.
In the 10-minute video, the encounter starts out with Stetson and a state trooper calling each other ‘sir.’
The 6ft tall, 235 pounds Stetson tells the trooper he’s a retired colonel in the U.S. military who served in Central America in 1980.”

It’s probable that these particular officers would respond even to a Muslim in a more rational way. No guarantee, but there are good cops; not enough of them, but the do exist..
