Do most speeders have a gun pulled on them?
The driver pulled into a lit parking lot. Highly doubtful someone who wanted to take out a cop would do so.
The driver was respectful and offered a reasonable explanation for why she turned on her hazard lights and looked for a place to pull over.
The officer was rude and overreacted. Way overreacted.
Yes, I think in hindsight he overreacted, and that’s probably why he decided to quit the force. I’m just not sure in the moment how to understand it. Better training? Maybe he is a bad cop. I just see both sides. She shouldn’t have been speeding like that. Maybe he should have better training.
The only point I can make is that her being black had zero to do with her being pulled over and a gun on her. He couldn’t see the person in the car at all. No way to know the race until she stepped out. So he would’ve done this to anyone. Is that your point? He was rude and overreacted because his adrenaline had gotten to him. Once that happens, unless you’ve learned meditation, it doesn’t stop so easily.
