This is a federal felony committed by the cops. It’s happens every single day, but it’s very important to understand. Pay specific attention to what they do to the man’s father:

1. This happened over a year ago and was already settled

The family got 200K and the cop was demoted.

2. Decades to get to this point

For decades we've let the police turn into this paramilitary group of bullies.

They think they are above the law, their aim is to bully and terrorize citizens into submission. This has to stop!

3. The system cannot be reformed. It's working as designed.

Its objectives have always been to control and punish, not to protect or provide justice. And it shows.

4. If one spends any time at all watching

Cop-watcher or 1st Amendment auditor videos, you realize that for many of the Blue-Line thugs, this is Fallujah, not the USA. They act and operate as though they are the occupiers and are above any laws, while they can do anything at whim to the subject population.

6. imho, it does seem a bit sus for him to roll his window up. But the Dad?!?

7. Why is it suspicious to roll up his window?

The scene apparently took place in TEXAS, where people tend not to run around with their windows down for long if they can help it. Rolling up the window--I'd do that too if a PIG pulled me over. Know why? So that SOMETHING blocks the shot if they decide to kill me.

Plus, you missed what happened before this stop. He wasn't pulled over for the window, but for making a WIDE RIGHT TURN. And the cop followed him for over a mile before pulling him over.

Anyone with a brain knows why it took him a mile to do it: He ran that plate, heard a Hispanic name come back for the vehicle owner, and that's when he got aggressive.

He profiled that kid, pure and simple.

9. and arrested for a traffic violation?

10. Dark-tinted window being rolled up as a cop approaches?

Come on. How is that not a suspicious move?

8. Fucking monsters

Probably pissed that they didn’t get to kill his son
