...The whole incident was recorded by the dashboard camera on the Highways officers.

In the footage the armed officers can be heard shouting over one another as they fire multiple commands at a bemused Mr Bruins...

He's lucky he didn't get Erik Scotted...

You and me both know that these two individuals can consider themselves very fortunate that the king's men did not fill them full of lead, confiscate the car, sell it and split the proceeds. In fact, I would consider it Divine Intervention that they are alive today.

I small bit of training to officers with an average IQ should stop this problem.

Why does it persist?

Yep - I'm generally pro-cop because of the hazards of the job, but I can't figure those who tend to always side with the cop, no matter how bad the deed, just because they believe that the perp "had it coming".

They will someday understand Trey Gowdy's statement about how someday, folks will be crying for they rule of law to be followed properly...

I guess the cops will get to plea, "oopsie" and be let off with a for-show verbal reprimand.
