He seems terrified.
Notice how the cops try to get him to accept a search of his car? That’s them hoping they can find something to destroy this man’s life. They have absolutely zero reason for the search. The issue is a busted break light. They should just ticket him for that instead of wasting time and resources on their antagonistic bullshit.
Judging by the yt comments, you’re subscribed to a channel that caters heavily to racists, so I don’t have high hopes here.
Called in backup. Put victim on ground in handcuffs. Tried to search his car without cause. Harmed the victim needlessly.
Literally walked away to avoid conflict.
Only one of them is armed with a lethal weapon and regularly assaults people. The cop is actively pursuing conflict, whereas the victim is avoiding it.
I see absolutely no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. It’s their job. They regularly have people in a position like that. They were hurting him intentionally.
What you’re saying here is that the first cop was fixing to get someone killed. 3/10 though.
He was afraid. Justifiably so, given that the cop acted in a way that could have gotten him killed. The generous reading here is that you’re making excuses for gross incompetence. Why?
Why should we just accept that as a given? That’s not their job.
You’re ignoring the long history of systemic abuse that plays into this. To improve that, it is the party favored by the power imbalance who must go above and beyond.
Do you think the cops in that video acted with excellence?
Actual reasonable approach: follow the man in. Don’t keep making demands of him to stop, etc. Just keep up and explain to him that you’re going to ticket him for a broken break light, and if he accepts that you’ll be on your way. If he refuses, instruct him to get it fixed asap and take down his number plate so you can send the ticket in the mail. Cars usually have several brake lights. One of them being broken really isn’t a big deal.
Not the worst outcome, but I know you’re horny for some JUSTICE.
