In reply to the discussion: Black man righteously shames white cop who pulls him over [View all]Stinky The Clown
(68,952 posts)I drive "enthusiasticaLLY" at times. I have NEVER had a gun pulled on me, including late night/early morning stops.
I have a shaved head. In silhouette I can easily be mistaken for another race/ethnicity. I never had a gun on my face.
I am very pro cop, but even more so, ANTI scared shitless cops, macho cops. 'roided cops, angry cops, racist cops, etc.
Your view is why these fuckers get away, literally, with murder. Because good people give them too much leeway. Cops have an OBLIGATION to moderate their action, even at some risk to themselves. If you disagree with that, then what is the opposite? Guns drawn on old lady jaywalkers in broad daylight?
Life has risks. Cops have to accept theirs, not wimp out and be candy assed snowflakes who hide behind their guns.
