Fashion Police: Flint Cracks Down on Sagging

I hope the police chief has the intestinal fortitude to continue his policy. Many don't realize or believe that it is disrespectful to the elderly and others to show your hind parts or undergarments. The ACLU needs to find something better to do than uphold wrong doing by promoting it as a civil rights violation.

I don't like the style, but I also don't like government telling me what I can and cannot wear. What will be next, on the list?

I WANT TO run around with no shirt on but I cant because I am female and we live in a place that does not allow those kinds of freedom.

I read this story and think it's ridiculous. You should not be able to arrest someone for their pants sagging. I think the people who wear these pants look a little silly but still it's a free country and you have the right to wear what you want. Pretty soon you won't be able to think on your own without getting permission from the government or their officials. Also, the cops should be looking for real criminals like child molesters, drug dealers, murders', and other bad people.

Revealing one's underwear or butt crack in public is offensive. I have four children and teach them about appropriate behavior. Sagginf pant is yet another symptom of in-your-face social deviance. It is in the same category, and I am sure closely correlated, with other dangerous and destructive social deviance such as gang association, cursing, drug use, crime, violence, low educational levels, and low self esteem. If the vast number of social deviants want RESPECT, they should do good things and represent their cultural, gender, or any other characteristic to which they commonly classify themselves with high morality and behaviors. ALL beings develop expectations and normality based upon the changing landscape of social behaviors and the environment. If beings, especially humans, continuously experience a bite when approaching a bees nest, they will fear all bees; it is conditioning. So, when a cetain race CONTINUES to use a derogatory racial slur in music, characterise themselves in a certain manner, statistically represent certain lifestyles and behaviors, it is extraordinarily difficult for the general population who experience those things in many forms of media and personal experience to NOT form an opinion and set of EXPECTATIONS.

Sagging does serve a purpose. When viewed from the rear, it explains the reference to these kids as the "Y" generation.

Well' Well! It sure looks like 1 cop in his right mind, is putting a stop to the dumbest clothing statement ever invented!! For the people who think this is cool well' you were the people in prison with your boxers showing,,,Well in the prison system that statemnet means'you are known as a punk/queer that like to take it up the a--! thats how people associate the gays in the joint!

Here we go another FREEDOM taken away in a FREEDOM Country...Does anyone see what is going on? Little by little our FREEDOM is taken away...the same FREEDOM that we are trying to fight for overseas' Does that make sense? People stop trying to put your views on Clothes, Marriage, religion, music and speech into others ....We don't all think the same so why should we all act the same/..

Hoooray for the Flint, MI Police Dept. and their corageous Chief! As a Black man, I HATE seeing these young men with their @sses hanging out in public; it's downright ghetto and 'hoodish. It makes us all look ignorant, unkempt and like thugs. I only wish they will adopt similar laws here in New York City where this 'fad' and the young men who subscribe to it are totally out of control. They are very rude, loud, disrespectful and will get violent if you say anything to them about it. I have a 24 year old Son who I warned against this. I told him I'd break his fcucking back if I EVER caught him in the street (or anywhere else for that matter) with his pants falling off his @ss. It is said that this "fad" evolved from the jail house where the inmates are not allowed to have belts and the young boys now do it because they want to give the impression that they are 'jail toughened'. Little do they realize that only idiots and @ssholes go to jail to begin with and they aspire to give this impression to others? Not a good look. I say arrest them on a second offense and JAIL them (along with a hefty fine) on the second offense. Once their little @sses come from prison, I bet they will wear their clothes properly after that!
