They showed the whole video this morning on the news. The victim was so polite and composed throughout the whole thing it’s amazing. Even though he was shot and in pain he still handled himself very well - way better than I think 99% of people would have under the same circumstances.
But we need to stop this craziness where cops pull people over for seatbelt violations and other petty stuff that are no threat to anyone else’s safety. Cops have turned into the fundraising arm of the government. “Protect and serve”? Ha!
It started with moving their designation from Peace Officers, to Law Enforcement Officers. It was allegedly a move to professionalism, but everybody knows what peace looks like. Laws can just go on and on.
Well, they didn't say who they are protecting and serving.
I agree about the seatbelt and stupid stuff. The cops all have computers in their cars. They can run the license and write an automated ticket, attach the video, let a judge decide. A seatbelt ticket is going to go to a judge anyway so cut the middle man and expedite it. Done deal.
