Quite right. Every officer should go to specific training to avoid this situation again. Made any progress yet? We need to get all of these cops into line.

lmao US police are hosed and getting murdered by rifles is only going to make them double down on this aggressive poo poo

like why does that cop have an assault rifle out lol

he probably thought this was another organized police attack, the black guy laying on the pavement with hands in the air and the autist with a toy truck rocking back and forth in the street was just a clever ploy to get them to let their guards down

cops need .50 cal minimum so nobody lives to say things like "I dont know" tbh

This needs to be quoted on every page. There are a lot of cops in the US who are literally terrified of black men, and their first reaction is to pull their guns and shoot.

I had a cop pull me over last month for an expired tag. I made the mistake of reaching for the paper plainly sitting on my dashboard that was another ticket from an hour prior, I figured I wouldn't get another since it was late at night (so I couldn't renew them) and needed to make it home, since I hadn't realized that my state does registration by Birthday, and not whole month like my last State.

The officer immediately put their hand on their gun, ordered me to freeze and had 3 more cruisers with 6 more officers show up. The one cop (maybe cop 6 or 7) seemed pretty apologetic about the whole thing. If I were black I guess I'd have just been straight executed instead of some guy apologizing for the over reaction.

I did end up with $300+ in tickets though, I guess as a gently caress you from the cop that called in the entire police force because some guy moved his hand toward his steering wheel.

no you got 300+ in tickets for having expired tags

just like i did once. my tags were expired, and i got a ticket

i could make up excuses but it was because my tags were expired

I can't the picture with the actual quote, but I once saw something that said "'Don't make any sudden moves, do what they say, and you won't be hurt' is what you tell hostages, not free citizens."

the unwritten rule to surviving police stops in America are

#1) Be White
#2) If it's a Male officer be a female (the hotter the better)
#3) Call them sir and verbally suck their dick, apologizing to them, feed into their power trip

Even then it comes down to the day they've had. If he has had a good day he might be gracious enough to bestow upon you a mere warning for your transgressions. Don't treat them with the proper respect and you might get a tazer to the throat and your only crime was that you were "Resisting Arrest" for an arrest that had no point in the first place.

If you are Black you are basically hosed. Silence can be seen as hiding something, compliance can be seen as a trick, attitude can be terms for straight execution.

Or, work with me here, a reasonable person would have both noticed my out of state license since I moved here, the difference in laws between states and the fact I had already been ticketed not an hour prior to that while it was 10:00PM well after closing of any tag office?

I mean if you want to be a technical shitlord, yes in the 3 miles toward my house I moved my tags hadn't been rendered not expired.

I'm morbidly curious to know how bad this is going to get. Continued escalation seems inevitable, I just want to know if we'll actually get into the dystopian future of Martial law and a fully militarized police force or whether we'll just plod along watching civilians get executed in the streets with nothing more than a hashtag as a result. Obviously, policy change isn't in the cards.

The state I came from does tags by month. I.E. My February tags would be expired on March 1st.

This state does it by birthday, so a February 1st birthday makes my tags expired on February 2nd.

Not only did I not know that, I had never heard of that. No state I have ever lived in (10+) has ever had a law like that. I wasn't told that when getting my tags.

but I'm sure my justification for a ticket is what's really important in "Cops shoot Black Person Thread #45" of the week and we shouldn't be discussing how police are complete shitlords and that it's impossible they give tickets to be dicks when they are just going Rambo on the populace.

It just always makes me wonder why the cops always look so scared and aggressive. In the video, though you dont see the shooting, you can see the cops hiding behind things with their guns out, like there was any reason to act that way. They only escalate situations, and have no training in dealing with people other than "aim your gun and shoot frantically until your magazine is empty.

It's a rolling police discussion about how police are terrible, and the main point was that I am white and didn't die however if I had been black I wouldn't have just had a gun pulled on me for literally no reason I would have probably just been shot (but still had a gun pulled on me for no reason,) which is the problem (the police.)

Do you really need to sperg out about why I think I got a ticket? Do you also feel unable to drop unimportant minutiae in every aspect of your life? Are you arguing with everyone you know because they say "it's a nice morning" but it's really after 12:00 and technically afternoon?

I visit a police hq everyday as part of my job. Yesterday was the first time in the five years I've gone that the door was locked. When I got in, I asked the (never seen before) white officer at the desk why the door was locked. He said with a completely straight face "they're coming for us"

Seems like a rational person to me. Totally the kind of person we should arm and leave unsupervised.

Complying would be a bad idea if you were white. If you were black, it's pointless because you're already dead at this point.

(do this very slowly and deliberately, while narrating what you are planning on doing and while you are doing it)

-Put your hands in the air as high as you can
-Make sure the gun on your hip is visible to the cop
-Get on your knees
-Cross your legs
-Ask him to remove it from your holster, or ask him if you can wait for another officer to arrive and cover him while he takes it out himself

Hopefully during this, someone will start recording the scene with their phone and the officer will notice this and think twice about squeezing off a few rounds into your back.
