He refused MULTIPLE requests from the Police to exit the vehicle. The police issued a LAWFUL order and the driver was bound to obey it.
This jerk was looking for a confrontation and a payday.
He said he was afraid to exit the car and the officers told him he should be afraid. So, the next time you get pulled over for no reason, you want a cop telling you that you should be afraid to exit the vehicle? You’re not really a friend of liberty.
Why would an Army junior officer risk his career for a payday? I would imagine junior officers aren't in the "good ol' boys club."
Let’s think about “Lawful” orders, shall we?
When are “Lawful” orders not so lawful?
Traffic stops do not require weapons drawn or take downs.
So many lawful orders today.
Only 5 family members for the Holidays.
Mask mandates.
Up next, gun turn ins, forced vaccines, etc.
As a white man, I’ve never been pulled over at gun point, ordered out of my vehicle and taken down.
In Detroit (my hometown and where I lived and worked for DFD) this doesn’t seem to happen, unless the cops have been chasing the vehicle. Or if the plate comes back not for that vehicle.
When you buy a new vehicle in Michigan you’re given a flimsy paper plate that gets taped in the rear window. Hard to see if windows are tinted and often falls off.
In the suburbs of Detroit, although the whole race issue of today is out of control and nuts and fraudulent, driving while black in a real thing.
Traffic stops in the suburbs are very different with white people than with black people.
I expect cops to use extra safety and caution, but lack of professionalism and abuse just doesn’t happen to Irish lads as much.
What was the offense?
