(3,366 posts)Man was behind the gas station (parked?) when cop, also behind the station, started following him. Cop drives around the building and all the way to the street before realizing the man had pulled in front of the store and stopped. Cop then backed up and pulled up behind him -- to give him a ticket for not having worn a seatbelt on private property, not on the street. Is that even a violation??
Also, it was only about 3 seconds between the time we hear the cop calmly ask for the license and then we see him pointing his gun. I'd like to know just when he unholstered that gun, took off the safety, and was ready to fire at any provocation.
Looked to me like when he was asked for his license, the man started to reach for front right pants pocket, then a little hitch as he thought "Oh, it's in the car" and bent into the car to get it. Or, as the cop would claim, "dove headfirst back into the car."
Good grief, I've made those exact movements so many times. This could so easily be anyone, shot for nothing.
I am so happy this asshole pig was actually fired... and arrested! Let's hope for a conviction!
Also, in semi-good news, the CHP pig who beat that woman next to the highway got to resign; she got $1.5 million. He may yet be charged.
