Do not engage the police in a pursuit.
Do not exit your vehicle.
This stuff isn’t hard.
Dont drive deaf. Makes it hard to hear sirens.
Did you read the article? The man was deaf.
Something wrong in this story. The guy was not blind and, if I recall my last traffic stop, the flashers come on to intimidate you into stopping.
And, when you stop, keep your hands on the top of the steering wheel, don’t get out of the car until the officer tells you otherwise
He was DEAF and obviously didn’t hear the siren. Pulled into his driveway, according to neighbors and the trooper killed him. He was white.
Was the man waving a weapon at the cop?
Was the man armed?
Did the man threaten the cop?
Was the man belligerent?
Was he high, drunk or otherwise?
Did the man charge after the cop?
Did the man take a swing at the cop?
Did the man go for the cops weapon?
No.
Exiting your vehicle, especially when you’re confused and not thinking straight is no grounds for summary execution.
And NO.....I am not anti cop...I am anti-idiot.
I hope that trigger happy nose picking goober of a trooper does some serious prison time. A$$hole exemplified.
Lower your window.
Keep your hands on the wheel or the dash.
If you need to move your hands, explain what you will be doing and why.
Use “Sir” or “M’am”.
Not only will you live, you will likely only receive a warning.
