Valid point, but this is America, so why expect more? What you see is what you get, and the bullshit has been around FOREVER, which is Racism (pick a race, any race), Violence ( Wars) Crime (Wall St) and a fucked up Political/Legal system. One lesson I learned early though was that you DO NOT fuck with a cop. Never. I have walked away from cops holding shit more than once because I kissed their asses. I guess this guy and Brown never figured that out.
every time an officer makes a traffic stop, they are scared out of their minds whether this is gonna be "the one".
every time an officer walks out the door, his wife wonders if he'll come back.
my husband made it through his first department without ever having to shoot his gun except to re-certify at the range.
his second department, he was not so lucky.
out by the beach, he made a traffic stop, the guy took off, chase ensued into a family neighborhood, guy crashed his car into tree and ran. my husband drew down and shot the fucker a few times. sent him to the hospital, he survived and is doing time in raiford. this made the news and tv
anyway for the shoot, he was relieved of road patrol, on desk duty and was investigated. he wasn't allowed to talk to anyone about the details even myself. i think it was close to 2 months before he was back on road patrol due to intensive investigation.
you know, my daughter 22, was on her way back to school in orlando when she was pulled over by a statie. not sure why, probably her lead foot had something to do with.
she won't have an FOP badge on her plate because she's afraid her car is gonna get wrecked. so she turned on her typical charming self of "attitude" and got ticketed even though the cop knew she was a cop daughter. that's pretty egregious offense in cop world. you don't do that to family. so my husband calls the cop to find out why because my daughter "swears" we was being respectful. well let me tell you, that cop gave him an earful on how disrespectful his daughter was to him and how he felt she really needed the lesson.
he wouldn't void the ticket.
it's about respect. yes sir, no sir. i do it. got myself out of a speeding ticket the other day when i was pulled over.
it's not quantum physics.
unfortunately, no amount of yes sir and no sir was going to help garner. looking at the vid, he was pulled backwards, an obese man lost his sense of balance and you can see he was struggling.
#99 caused the death of that man, straight up!
