“When a police officer stops a car it makes no difference why he does so.”
BS.
This article starts well, but when it talks about the Hammond case, it gets it really wrong. I saw video of the police officer breaking the car window in Hammond. The officer was WAY wrong.
While it's true the car was pulled over for no fastened seat belts, the occupants of the car rapidly escalated the situation to the point where the officers were justified in their actions.
If you listen carefully to the video, one officer states that they have video footage and several individual officer tape recordings of the entire stop and that the guy doing the window breaking is the watch supervisor and a Police Lieutenant.
I seriously doubt that the officers would have done any mis deeds when they had dash cam video and multiple audio recordings of incident.
What difference does it make what you think? Without explaining WHY you feel that way, you just join the mindless mob...
I believe the officer was totally right. Also meaningless, until all the facts are in. There is never a pro law-enforcement mob, though. So what I think never incites a mau mau crowd.
See the difference?
For not wearing a seat belt? Are you kidding me. If cops got nothing better to do there’s too damn many of them!
