He doesn't understand why an African American driver would be afraid of police officers? Really? If that is true, he may lack sufficient situational awareness to be successful in law enforcement.
When he tweeted about the incident look at reasons he thinks might be responsible for the driver's fear: the media, protestors, a football player, and tossed in there... "bad" cops. No mention that "bad" cops often lie and plant evidence to justify their murders. No mention of "the blue wall of silence" - the idea that only "rats" testify against a fellow law enforcement officer ...even if he is a "bad" cop. No mention that often before there is even a hint of prosecution there is internal review - the officer's friends and co-workers review the incident to see if it's justifiable. No mention of a legal system that lets "bad" cops walk something like 90% of the time. No mention that the only reason why some of these cases go to trial is because there is video disputing testi-lying officers.
