There’s not enough on the video to make a determination.

Why was he pulled over?
Did the cop offer a reasonable articulable suspicion that a crime was committed?
cop can’t just pull you over or walk up to you and force you to comply. You are not required to produce identification and cannot be detained with reasonable articulable suspicion.

You look suspicious doesn’t count.

A cop was recently fired after doing just that to a kid who was sitting on a bench outside a closed store while waiting for an Uber. He was a store employee and his shift just ended. As the cop was cuffing him the Uber arrived, proving his case, yet the cop still took him to jail.

Most cops are good, some are very bad. Busting out a car window counts in the very bad category.

Most people are good, some are very bad, but being bad doesn’t allow your Constitutional rights to be violated.

1st, 4th, 5th and 9th Amendments are always in play during police interactions.

“Why was he pulled over?” For not having his headlights on in “this inclement weather.” Which is very ironic because in the officer videos none of the five police cars have their headlights on.

“reasonable articulable suspicion” - driving while black. Clearly a bogus stop.

I really loved them screaming “put your hands behind your back” when he clearly already has his hands behind his back.

“Most cops are good, some are very bad.” And the good ones don’t seem to be doing anything to remove the bad ones. How many cops were on the scene here? How many were “good”?

“”””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.
