So why are they so obsessed with the window staying down?
**********************
I know everyone currently has a hate on for cops and some rightfully so. But come on, use your head. It’s SOP to have the window down especially with a combative person like Hill with black tinted windows that you can’t see through. You can’t allow the detainee to be fiddling around in his car, maybe retreiving a weapon. And they had every right to pull him out of the car after he refused orders for him to do so. THe only questionable actions were the forcing of him to sit down.
I never heard of that “sop”, and have rolled the window up during traffic stops. And said “sop” sounds completely made up since once the cop walks away he can’t see in the car either way. And he was NOT combative until the cop started demanding he keep the window down for no good reason. And you CAN see through the window just fine. They had no NEED to pull him out of the car. Or to cuff him. Or to slam their knee into his back when he was on the ground and cuffed.
The cops turned a simple traffic stop into a pointless confrontation. He was cooperative until they got stupid.
