This is what happens when you mandate that cops be stupid and then train them by having them work as corrections officers for the first few years of their career

We need a federal oversight group created that does nothing but watch every single police force and reports to only itself and has complete authority over every officer in the nation.

Hello officer Bill, my name is Tom. I've decided to ride with you today. I was told you have anger issues. Pretend I'm not here.

police officers are trained to see civilians as potential threats to their safety and to remain vigilant at all times for threat of physical violence. i mean what u said is all true but its not like some random happenstance that they are killbots its how they are trained to see the general public

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.

Ah you see I think I can explain this cop's reaction; it's simply due to the fact that, in the US, it's considered normal and even healthy for people to open carry and drive around with assault rifles and fully automatic revolves in their cars.

Ultimately to protect yourself from state aggression you should concealed carry a shoulder-mounted plasma cannon in the style of the Predator, with those "Don't Tread on Me" snakes emblazoned up the sides when it pops out so people know you're a good-hearted NRA guy not an uppity radical.

I've actually opened my glove box for my license and registration with patient officers waiting before and never thought much of it. I've only had a gun pulled on me one other time and it was because I was driving without headlights (on one of those roads with a huge street light every 20 feet and my headlights were dim anyway)

I guess reaching for anything is probably a huge mistake, you should hold your hands in the air and follow instructions closely to not be shot.

Wait what's this thread about?

Here is what officers have told me to do if pulled over: roll windows down (at least the front ones), turn radio off, hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel. If it is night time or dusk, turn the dome light on.

At no point during the interaction do you ever take your hands off the wheel unless told to, and then you tell them what you are reaching for and where it is before you get it (okay officer, I'm getting a previous citation sitting there on my dashboard) and then you do it with one hand and slowly.

It's a bit much maybe sure but it's what you gotta do.

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

It would probably be safer if you just immediately dropped to your knees whenever approached by an officer, hands behind your head, and be completely submissive. This is the best way to survive an encounter with a civilian police officer.

:eng101: Mega City One does not issue death sentences unless it's under extreme conditions. Judges only kill to protect civilians in immediate danger or in self defense. Yes, they are judge and jury, but not actually executioners.

Also, considering there is a huge rear end US airbase on Iceland they probably have a bunch of black dudes there at all times.

Ok, I just came from the white people meeting, and there was a vote and we decided we are not going to do anything about the police problem, yet. I tried telling them that police shouldn't be so fast to shoot peeps, but they just didn't want to hear it.

You know white people, though.... they don't think the shark is dangerous until they are half way down its throat. Ugh.

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. The guy who got shot in his car while retrieving his wallet (when the officer told him to) and this guy are perfect examples of what is wrong with the police force in the US.

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.
