"Looks like one bad dude"

[Hassin Bin Sober]

81. I have a theory these dash cams have made things worse.

Part of their training is watching videos of traffic stops gone wrong where the cop gets murdered.

Now anyone who reaches back in their car is reaching for a gun.

That incident a few years ago where the young black kid gets pulled over in a gas station and reaches in his SUV to get his license and ends up getting shot in the ass. You could hear the terror in that cop's voice as he shoots the kid.

Another incident where an old man reaches in to the bed of his pickup truck to retrieve his cane. Blam!!

I remember back in the 80s when dash cams came in to wider and wider use. We were all treated to front row seats on the evening news (or dash cam shows) of cops being murdered. The constant refrain was how these tragic videos would at least be used for training purposes.

Thirty plus years of training cops to shoot first is what we are dealing with.

That's not to say a huge part of this is not racism because it is.

We have a racism problem. A training problem. An accountability problem. AND a gun problem.
