<---:smt060 mmm..

Former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard -- the guy who was PINNED DOWN by 3 officers in Ohio after allegedly JAYWALKING back in March -- will not be prosecuted for resisting arrest ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... part of the arrest was captured on tape ... and Shad -- a very large African American gentleman -- can be heard screaming, "Why am I being arrested? Because I'm big and I'm black?"

Gaspard was charged for resisting arrest -- but according to documents filed in Franklin County Municipal Court this week, the charge has finally been DROPPED. However, he was hit with one lesser charge of obstructing official business and had to pay a fine.

TMZ spoke to Gaspard who tells us he no longer plans to file a lawsuit against the Columbus PD over the arrest ... explaining, "I feel that everything has run its course the proper way, and it’s best I move on from this in a positive light."

He adds, "My only regret is that this incident even happened and I hope that the good police officers in Columbus aren’t judged by the actions of a few bad ones." (such a classy guy) :smt050 (be still my heart)

And if tape had not been rolling in this instance with witnesses how different do you want to bet this would have possibly ended? All those cop scared of the big "dangerous" black man from the notorious "Crime Tyme"......

He doesn't look dangerous to me, Ra. Don't believe in the negative BS that conservative media says about us.

YUP!
Even if nothing more went down than what occurred, no way would have the charges been dropped. Probably have thrown in a whole other slew of them, to boot.

With all seriousness though, we shouldn't joke about BM being perceived in society as being dangerous. This would just reenforce the image that racists/conservatives have which state that we aren't liked/respected in the world simply because of our skin.

Ummm....If you are not a dangerous black man and you carry yourself in away to show you are not, ignorant people will still see you however they wish to and nothing you do will change that in most instances. Why should I curb my sense of humor for others when they refuse to curb their ignorance towards us as black men?

Ok, well you make an interesting point. I would just say that the issues we face stem from the fact that we don't live in a perfect, ideal world. It will be complicated for me to type something up about it, so I'll leave it at that.

Who was ever "joking"? Ra sure wasn't, just because he was re-iterating how the cops received the wrestler.

Your last line puts Captain Obvious to shame.
