“”””Most cops are good, some are very bad. Busting out a car window counts in the very bad category.””””
Busting out a window is a big deal to the non-rich, but in this case the cop kept telling him he would have to bust the window if he didn’t exit, and he told him that many times and over a very long period, many times in many ways, over a persistent argument for the guy to just get out or else the window would be broken.
So let’s ponder what would have happened had he exited the vehicle? Would the rest of the encounter have been any different? Or would they still have slammed him to the car or pavement, punched him in the face multiple times, screamed at him to stop resisting and put his hand behind his back when they already were?
I am getting very worried about the direction policing is going in this country. Sure, this guy didn’t comply, but is it possible that the whole stop was unlawful, and therefore everything that happened after was unlawful?
