its most certainly not just you!
rap is incitement to all manner of evil behavior
one cant be inundated by garbage without it having a profound effect
Anyway, I associate rap music with thugs and punks so it is weird to see a cop ON DUTY playing that horrible rap.
Loud music interfering with the audio recording may have been the POINT of the loud music...
I know a now-retired CHP officer who got a slight reprimand early in his career for keeping a portable radio in his cruiser so he could listen to talk radio.
Cop looks very young. the old man was agitated by something; most likely by being bothered by the cop.
This looks a situation where everybody was having a bad day and things went south from there.
since there is no audio to speak of; we are forced into a he said/he said situation.
you decide. I have.
I hate when I pull into a gas station and some car has that lousy rap music blasting away. However, it is always a punk car. Never a cop car.
There was an article about this on The Blaze and the cop stopped the car because he claimed it lacked a sticker. However, the old man said his dealer tag was exempt from the sticker. It turned out the old man was RIGHT.
well then the old man had the right to gripe. the cop reacted with the classic “I’m cop; you’ll do as I say routine.”
Fire the cop and strip him of his commission for the rest of his life. That should send a proper message to other cops that might want to do something like this. IMO
rap is hypnotic tribal chanting..and most certainly not music in any real sense.
I didn’t watch the video...
cant stomach too much ugly in any given 24 hour period
At the very beginning of the video you can tell it’s a dealers tag.
Which means the car was just purchased.

So - LA Sheriff’s Dept., a Highway Patrol and a State Police selected at random have to have a GED - where Dallas PD wants college educated and/or military service applicants.
I remember a day where state LE only wanted 4 yr veterans or a 4 yr degree...but apparently dropped that requirement due to those employees later leaving for federal positions that required the same thing - but paid better.
I remember when LE was competitive - but apparently no one with a lick of sense in getting into it now a days...pretty sad...what ever that old man was doing and getting emotional about could have been handled differently...some people get emotional when pulled over...but not taking it personally aids alot...then again, I wasn’t there - don’t know what this vehicle’s registration issue was...or any prior history...but the rap music in the patrol car...it is not professional at all...
I suspect the old gentleman will, with the right lawyer, soon be enjoying a rather wealthy retirement! The taxpayers of the City of Victoria are likely to soon find a hefty tax increase, co-incidentally.
Yeah, but the old guy don't have many of those (good or bad) days left.
Bouncing and old man off concrete and Tasering him might have or will shorten that time. For what, a simple expired inspection sticker.
Cop should have handled it differently, but he chose to go the "You Will Respect My Authoritah" route.
And really, what possible physical threat could an elderly man pose to this cop? I mean, besides his ego!
“It’s a Cop Thing; you wouldn’t understand” is what his defenders will say or some variation of it.
Yup. It's sad that FR has recently become quite the cheering section for authoritarian thugs.
They come and they go. Some of the more fervent JBT badge lickers do not bother to defend these days.
Why they gave it up, who knows? There is a new crop to to the deed now though. Never seems to change.
You have been around long enough to probably recall some of the fervent JBT defenders from years past.
not me.
No doubt. You fill your mind with gutter hate and out it spills.
